"Nazi' means a dictator, to tell you how you're going to live your life," he said. "That was the term I used. I'm going to think about whether I apologize or not, and if I do so, I'll do it in writing."

Holy shit what a grade A+ moron. That's just baffling, how can you possibly call someone a Nazi and then try to actively change the definition of the word to make yourself less blantantly wrong. This is Trump drawing on a forecast map with a sharpie because it disagreed with him level stupid.

Ah, this was updated with Wyatt's remarks after I posted it.

This is, unfortunately, pretty typical of him.

"Nazi" really doesn't mean fuck all anymore, it's been overused

I feel for the guy, between cyclists and vegans it's a race to the bottom.

Elaborate, I'm curious what your thought process is.

Oil and meat good, electricity and plants bad. Poilievre told me so.
