I wonder if the poll results would change if you somehow made it clear that the same language was used - almost verbatim - by Nazi Germany and other fascists of that era. Would it matter to voters?

When I first read about "vermin", I sent the comments to my conservative friend who is a Jew. I explained to him that dehumanizing the outgroup is what fuels any genocide that's been committed since the term was invented on 1944 based on Nazi atrocities. It was certainly how the Nazi's regarded Jews. They were less than human. That makes it easy for other humans to kill them.
I don't remember his response, or if I got one. But it certainly wasn't outrage. His belief, from listening to Dennis Prager for three decades, that the Left is destroying the American Experiment makes that impossible.
No. Nothing matters. My husband asked the other day what I was getting at the store. I told him I was going to look for that snake oil people are buying...I couldn't find any as the shelves were empty.

So I think the answer to your question is no.
No. Nothing matters. My husband asked the other day what I was getting at the store. I told him I was going to look for that snake oil people are buying...I couldn't find any as the shelves were empty.
Probably not. People almost never think of themselves as the bad guys. "It may sound similar but we're different. We're the good guys."
