Expert says US politics now mirrors Nazi-era comparisons

Original: When is the right time to compare US politics to the Nazi era? This expert on Christian nationalism says: now

An expert on Christian nationalism argues that the moment to compare US politics to the Nazi era is now, breaking with the usual caution against invoking Hitler-era analogies in American political debate. Writing in the Guardian, the scholar contends the parallels have become close enough that silence is no longer defensible, sparking debate over where the limits of historical comparison should lie.

Why now: Fears about authoritarianism and Christian nationalism in current US politics are intensifying debate over whether Nazi comparisons are finally justified.
