Sorry, but red shirt does have a point. People have been called a Nazi so many times because of small disagreements that now that we have musk make heil hitler signs, people actually wonder if he's really a neo nazi or not.

People should keep the "nazi" label for the real assholes

Red shirt needs merely to turn around and see the brown shirt with the swastika. There isn't a lot of grey area for interpretation of this comic, the artist is being very clear.

Voicing concerns as the republicans slowly claimed their way towards fascism is not the same as an imagined wolf.

The allegory would be watching a wolf circle the chickens but idiots dismissing it because then wolf hasn't killed any chickens yet.

But that didn't work as well for wolf sympathizer like you.

Mostly what I see are pedants who keep arguing that actually it's a coyote circling the chickens, and that calling it a wolf de-legitimizes actually crying wolf, and that wolves had a very specific platform, and all the while the coyote is getting closer to the fucking henhouse.

This isn't the same as The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Unless you're talking about a version of the story where there really were wolves every time he cried wolf and nobody believed him until the wolves were eating people.

Still not a perfect analogy but much closer.
