He’s comparing Nazis to Nazis. She compared having a conservative opinion to persecution of the Jews.

Some ideas simply don’t merit a public hearing. A university astronomy department is under no obligation to platform flat-earthers or moon-landing conspiracy theorists.

It’s totally hurt him, because now he’s had to use these weird little platforms he’s made up like Parler, and his missives from his office and stuff, which make him look like a weak little joke.  Even his republican friends are talking more shit about him (not including his die-hards like greene and gaetz and those…

Right, and plus, there’s no “winning” with people who are willing to lie and use all sorts of faux intellectual trickery. People who just want to score points and aren’t actually engaging in good faith. Anyone who is reasonable already knows they’re full of shit, so debating them won’t have any effect on them, but it…
