Yeah… honestly, if this keeps up, I can see a couple of countervailing problems that’ll define the coming decades.
For one, the Right (and bulk of the non-Woke, for that matter) will roll its eyes and shake its head whenever some blue-haired twit shouts they’re “Literally Hitler!” and tries to cancel them. Can’t fault them for that, exactly, but then there’s how “impressionable” Left-leaning audiences who haven’t been paying attention will wrongly perceive the Right as being dismissive of well-documented Nazi
atrocities (which they aren’t) rather than overdone Nazi
comparisons (which they are). Naturally, this will make the Left radicalize even further, bringing Antifa, BLM, and Neo-Communist types who actually have a stomach for hands-on violence to the forefront as calls to “Permanently shut Nazis down!” grow louder and louder.
What’s worse is that, ironically enough, I can envision actual Nazis (or at least, bad actors with similarly genocidal plans for the world) roaring back with a vengeance in the midst of this, precisely because no one takes Godwin’s Law seriously anymore. If it becomes just another hackneyed cliché dismissed by everyone, then it’s only a matter of time before “Neo-Hitler” takes advantage of the cover this affords him and amasses enough support to become a genuine threat. It’s a “Boy who cried wolf!” scenario in which an actual wolf shows up at the very end, is what I’m saying. Unfortunately, no one will pick up on it until they hear a scream and a sickening crunch — followed by the wolf coming for them, too.
