Hes a republican who called for people he doesn't like to be targeted in a position of extreme local power.
He should be immediately fired, and an interim sheriff put in place until the election.
FTFY
It would help everyone a lot more if you stopped getting those two things confused
It would help if you didn't exaggerate. He has invaded no country and installed no gas chambers. He is a racist fascist at best. That word shouldn't be thrown around so easily.
If he doesn't personally invade any countries, and calls for gun violence against "the undesirables" instead of gas chambers, does he still escape the Nazi label? I need to know what the line is exactly according to you, because he's already trying to put political enemies on an intimidation list and time may be short.
Putting People on Political HIT LISTS ISNT Nazi! It's ONLY Nazi if they PHYSICALLY Gas them!
When did he call for violence? It sounded like he just wanted them to shelter illegals.
No, you're right, he only said they should be forced to house incoming "locusts." That's nothing like a Nazi at all. Thanks for setting us straight.
Awe did I get downvoted? Boohoo.
The word is over used. This man is a racist piece of trash, but not a Nazi. Actual Nazis and White Supremacists exist.
How many times a day do you have to say “I’m not a Nazi.”?
Never. I hold no views anywhere close to that, I just want words to be accurately applied.
I bet you've had to say it twice today.
IDK, if you look at their comment history they're not like that. I don't think they deserve that. I just disagree with them that this isn't a call to violence.
I think this sheriff knows his fellow Repubs have plenty of radicals. I think that urging white supremacist radicals to note where their perceived enemies live and calling people "locusts" is a call to violence.
Exactly. Just because he didn't say "Go shoot these Democrats" doesn't mean that he's not implying it.
It's the same as "Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?"
You do know that the Nazis didn't start building gas chambers and invading other countries on day one, right?
Yes, I also know they held rallies and self identified as nazis
I see, so you have to literally be a member of the German National Socialist Worker's Party in order for someone to legitimately call you a Nazi.
Yes. Otherwise we have to call them sparkling fascist.
This is the level of this person's argument as far as I can tell. It's not a Nazi if it's off-brand.
No, there are in fact neo-nazis that self identify as nazis
I see, so you have to literally call yourself a Nazi or someone else calling you a Nazi is being unfair to you.
I said nothing about fairness. I just wish the word were saved for actual nazis
That sounds like a fairness issue to me. That it's unfair to call anyone who doesn't announce to the world that they are a Nazi a Nazi.
Ok. It's not just about self identification, it's also about exaggeration and intent. The more that word is thrown around, the less it is taken seriously when things like Charlottesville or a white supremacy rally happens, where they are verbally anti-Jewish. I just want the word to be used in a more accurate manner. This man is a racist, he is a fascist, but he's not necessarily a Nazi.
Anyway, agree to disagree with you all, I'm all done talking about this.
You can't even define "Nazi." You keep changing what you are saying it should mean.
You don't need to identify as a Nazi to be a Nazi just like I don't need to be a pilot to know a plane crash or to be a psychologist to know you're a fucking moron.
Ouch. The words. They hurt.
jk. I'm fine, you're going to be ok too.
I am God. Worship me /s
What you should have said was nothing.
You're correct. it should be reserved for Don the con. aka Diaper Donny.
AKA McChicken
There's literally a Lemmy user trying to mark all Trump supporters on a map on a website. Nazi I assume?
When you reach, stretch, and attempt to classify everyone who does awful things or that you disagree with politically a "nazi," you make the word mean less, and you make people care about the term less.
People like me, right now. Carry on, this thread is boring.
Edit: this is handy, it's like a self-selecting block list. Thanks yall!
Hmmm random Lemmy user and a Shariff, I bet they have the same power.
Bleach isn’t a beverage. Stop drinking.
How many times a day do you have to say "I'm not a Nazi."?
Fucking idiot.
Hmmm random Lemmy user and a Shariff, I bet they have the same power.
In the US, sheriffs are elected officials, i.e. they can't be fired.
Can they not be recalled?
Sort of a firing?
I'd say this asshole is immensely guilty of misconduct. He caused literal neighbors to target and spy on people who voted differently, inviting violence upon them.
That depends on state and county law.
If a recall is possible, the same would dictate what the procedure for a recall is.
