It seems like everyone compares the opposing political party to the Nazis nowadays. Who did everyone accuse their political opponents of being like before WW2? Was their some sort of 'evil equivalent' that was used as comparison?
Until someone else ambles along with a further discussion, you'll be pleased to discover that this question appears here from time to time, and gets some good discussion. One that's not on that list, but should be, is this thread from last year, with some good discussion throughout. There are others as well, but that's the one that sticks out thanks to /u/DavidlikesPeace.
