the majority of the population doesn’t identify this as being nazism.

That's a big claim for no citation.

Taxonomy.

  • A cat is [animal]
  • A dog is an [animal]

The nazi's did such a good job of distinguishing themselves they created their own (colloquial) taxonomic branch.

So [nazi] could be considered a parent grouping of the National Socialist German Workers' Party and also potentially a parent grouping for the republicans.

I think they key here is separating the nazi party from the [nazi] category

As you pointed out all [nazi]'s are [fascist]'s but not all [fascist]'s are [nazi]'s

  • National Socialist German Workers' Party were [nazi]'s
  • The American Republican Party are subjectively showing enough similarities (both in type and progression) that they get the provisional label of [nazi] as it's the closest existing definition.

Might turn out that they don't quite fall in the same branch, might turn out they do. Until then [nazi] is an easy shortcut for describing the types of behaviour displayed.

Even if they were just a direct descendent ( taxonomically ) rather than a sibling of the original nazi party there would still be an argument to claim they were nazi's

Like :

  • animal -> mammal -> cat
  • nazi -> nazi party -> republican

Come back in a few years and you'll probably get your definitive answer either way.

You don't have to agree with any of that of course, but it does demonstrate how someone might have an opposing opinion to your own.

Well, at least they aren't pretending to accept longer passwords but actually truncating it, like they used to in hotmail and live.

They were silently truncating the passwords to something like the first 16 characters, the rest was ignored.

The server CPU's are called epyc and they are powerful, but not in the same way.

Server CPU's are geared to different types of workloads but if you built a desktop workstation with decent one it would be still be a beast.

I wasn't arguing that the server CPU's aren't powerful, i was saying that the latest ryzen desktop cpu was something I'd personally consider to also be powerful.

The threadrippers are also up there in terms of power, but the OP was specifically talking about ryzen.

I mean, going by wikipedia the latest (desktop) ryzen cpu released was the 9950X3D...i'd personally tag that as powerful.

everybody has their subjective scale of power i suppose.

I suspect more people than you think realise this is a potential outcome.

Assuming it boils over before there is another election (also assuming that's a thing that happens), military action is 100% a playable card.

It's a toddler with a nuclear tantrum button.

It's honestly not that much different in type than most nuclear powered nations.

The difference is "absolute last resort, and only maybe then" vs "they won't let me annex Greenland and are being mean to me"

Hyperbolic ofc, but illustrative.

What are the reasonable good alternatives though?

I don't think anti-trump is a strict requirement.

Not publicly and directly messaging a known rapist and convicted felon to let him know you think he's doing a good job "standing up for the little guy" would probably suffice.
