"Your entire dissertation was splendidly written. Really. But you still misstate the message that is (I think) trying to be communicated by those pictures of Germany. And, you writing at the end, " And that's another reason why Florida is not Nazi Germany," exemplifies that you don't understand.

No one on this thread is suggesting that Florida is Nazi Germany, as you suggest. No one is comparing America to Nazi Germany.

The pictures, even though I did not post them, are just meant as an alarm bell, imo. And by the way, there hasn't been just one snowflake, as you have innocently suggested more than once."

I wholeheartedly agree with the your reply to caspara's comments.

In addition, I think the Godwin's Law thing is outrageous. Take a fire in a theater, for instance. Even if small, it certainly is a fire, and if left unrecognized or unattended, it will spread and kill many people. Do we casually wait until it reaches certain proportions to yell "fire"? The use of comparisons and analogies to Nazi Germany is quite appropriate in pointing out where we as a people do not want to end up. And it is not just the Nazi's that we can point to. History is replete with scoundrels who killed without mercy or regard for human life. Take Stalin, for example.
