Considering that Americans gave Trump the popular vote this time, I don't think we can claim anymore that MAGA isn't the American way. The American way just sucks now
You could tell her the comparisons between Nazis and MAGA, but one of the problems with these people is that they refuse to admit that they're wrong, they see it as a weakness..so they double down on thinking they're correct.
Its worth trying but it's exhausting. If you get a chance to read The Cult of Trump, you should check it out. Tldr is that if you end up insulting them, they bury their heels in. It takes a lot of time and energy to help them think critically. I think one of the more difficult things to overcome is their inability to think beyond themselves. Things have to affect them directly before they will even begin to think critically about thier views on a given topic.
While dumb as shit for wearing that hat, I seriously hope she walked out learning something new. Specifically, the parallels between what is shown in that museum and the fools she is following.
Question: Do you not think abusers blaming victims for their actions type thing happens, which is what is shown in the comic, did you miss that was the point of the comic and think it's being genuine with the "you made me do this" statement, or are you saying the extreme shown as hyperbole doesn't happen, missing that extremes are often used to make a point?
It's not an abuser blaming victims for their actions. It's a hyperbolic version of the "You're turning people into nazis" comment. I understand its hyperbolic, but its also rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of the point people make when they say that and how someone actually becomes like that.
Because while this is hyperbolic, many people are not being so when they act like it is a simple choice being made that one day you just wake up and want to be a nazi.
You seem to be missing the point of both what I was saying and the comic. Nazi is showing they are a Nazi and blaming other person for making them a Nazi, when that is the type of person they already were. PersonA is blaming personB for the fact that A is bad and doing something bad. This is the same with abusers blaming a victim "you made me do this." It very much is the point of the comic that an abuser is blaming others for being abusive, and I just used another example of how it happens.

Republicans are much worse than nazis.

Both. She is both.

Looking for ideas and hoping they sell merch like they do for Auschwitz on the Everglades....

She's wearing a MAGA hat and also wearing red, white, and blue but she sure don't stand for truth, justice, and the American way.

Man, but I really, really hope that, by the end of the tour, she understood for real.

Cut her some slack. She's sad because all those cute blonde boys with blue eyes died in that war, all right?

Shes taking notes on how to improve nazism

I agree, my idea Is The Same As Yours

The Nazi's took notes from us so I doubt the US needs the help.

That is a shockingly under-told part of history.

Neither stupid or oblivious, that's on purpose. To "get one over on libtard feefees".
CrisprCAS
To quote Ron White: You can't fix stupid. To quote him again: Take off the hat!
TehLurkerKing
Lt. Aldo "The Apache" Raine would disagree about taking off the hat. Makes it harder to spot a Nazi.

This is intentional. She thinks she's being clever trying to get people angry at her.

If I had to guess so is doing to get attention to post on whatever platform she is on. It really frustrates me to see shit like this. https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY1YjkxZmJlcmNrZWV0aTJidnQycWp6ZjBzb2syeHZta2g5Yng1ZGl0ejIweThrMCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/11tTNkNy1SdXGg/giphy.mp4

You are asking for a miracle from a magat.

Don't get your hopes up. Those neurons were gated off in barbed wire for even suggesting they would connect.
Wearing that hat in public at all is the evidence.
blubberingbastard
Lol. One can hope.

She’s where she needs to be. It’s for her cried in particular museums like this need to exist

Ok, Ok... but maybe she actually looked around and noticed some.... small... similarities? It could happen.
Why yes, I AM an optimist, how did you know?

Delusion isn't optimism. MAGA are beyond saving, and the longer we deny this fact the longer they get to kill us all

If you think the point of the comic is "abusers blaming their victims." Then you would be incredibly wrong.
Bukoden
You seem to be missing the point of both what I was saying and the comic. Nazi is showing they are a Nazi and blaming other person for making them a Nazi, when that is the type of person they already were.
