      Reminds me of the movie Thank You for Smoking, when the main character says that someone saying “I have a mortgage to pay” is “The yuppie Nuremberg defense”

    Can we arrange to have their parents come in and ask them what they’d do if they were ordered to jump off a bridge?

    Ya know, just in a little extra bit of effort to kinda hammer the point home?

    Well, maybe not their parents (cuz they’re probably racist pieces of shit too), but like… Like Tom Hanks, maybe? He seems like he could properly portray the level of “I’m not even mad at you, I’m just disappointed, son” this requires.

    I’m not entirely certain “Nazi” or “fascist” is an insult to many conservatives. Not being snarky. For the far, far right, those words are compliments.
