Trump's rhetoric is increasingly mirroring Nazi talking points, and nobody is paying attention, an expert on extremism warns
Extremism expert Peter Simi told Business Insider why Donald Trump's increasingly extreme rhetoric keeps falling on deaf ears.

By "nobody is paying attention" do they mean it's been plastered all over the news?
And that his fans are paying full attention and eating up every word?
Yeah people are paying attention they love it. And the rest of us are paying attention and are disgusted.
The only people not paying attention are the Republican voters who don't care who the candidate is and just vote Red no matter what.
People are paying attention, but most people aren't taking it anywhere near seriously enough. It's the equivalent of seing an armed nuclear warhead and thinking pistol.
Many are taking it seriously, hence why there are so many posts about it here on lemmy and Reddit and other left leaning social medias. The problem is that his followers like his nazi rhetoric.
The nazi on The Boys was right “people like what I have to say, they just don’t like the word nazi”, although many Americans don’t even have that problem sadly…
What does taking it seriously enough look like?
I'm not sure exactly, but treating him as just another politician like the media is? That ain't it.
He's a cult leader at the head of a fascist uprising in the most powerful country in the world and most journalists are acting like it's pretty much business as usual.
We've been pleading with the media to stop but we are not in control. I've done everything in my power to keep them out of my personal space but as long as I consume American products at American retailers they will remain funded and on the air.
