I think "Is this guy literally a Nazi" is a pretty important policy question....

It's OK. Some guy with a name like "The4th" says he's not a Nazi. The Fourth what now?

Yeah, at this point in the game the Fascists have fully co-opted patriotism. If you're proud of America right now, you're a Nazi. 7/4 and 1776 are in the same category as 1488 these days. Patriotism is complacency in the face of violent Nationalism.
