Once again, this is the statement of yours that I wanted proof of:
@bob_the_fisherman Said
I was using the media's accepted definition that anyone who supports Trump is a white nationalist, and a white nationalist is a white supremacist and a white supremacist is a Nazi. .
So...

Not just the Huffington post.
Seriously? You have not seen Trump being called racist in the media repeatedly? Look at the reaction to the Covington kid smiling as he was harassed by an Indian liar after the white kids had been abused by a bunch of black spastic idiots from some retarded "Israelite" group.
That could tell you something.
Trump has been called a racist by the media repeatedly - they lied about him not repudiating white supremacists, they lied about his Charlottesville comment, Hillary blamed racism after she lost and called Trump supporters "sexist, racist, xenophobic" and a "basket of deplorables" before the election.
Some examples of the media and DNC on Trump = racism from about two minutes of searching:

That was a sample of page one of two different searches.
All irrelevant.
Members of the media calling Trump a racist does not equate to calling all Trump supporters racist (let alone white nationalists to Nazis).

Maybe. Although he does say he is not a Trump supporter and that he aligns most closely with the national socialism of the very left wing Chinese government, and that he was a communist, then an anarchist who briefly became libertarian before embracing eco-fascism (which is left wing no matter how you care to slice it. The eco warrior thing is left, and fascism, like Nazism is hard left). After being close to a terror attack he became anti-Muslim. (Yes, I have a copy of his manifesto and have read quite a lot of it).
Simply put, the media did what they do - lied.
He even said that the media would do it, and it is why he did what he did. He wanted his act used to silence the right to hasten what he sees as the inevitable violence that will come as a result of Islamic attempts to infiltrate and destroy the west (as the Muslim Brotherhood memo reveals). One mosque he targeted had a video up (since removed) discussing their aim of replacing New Zealanders with Muslims.
However, he understood his act would be used to further lift Islam above criticism and that that would further radicalise the right and make violence inevitable, even though he himself is not on the right.
Read his manifesto.
The most widely accepted categorization of national socialism (Nazism) is on the far right of the political spectrum. Now, you personally can argue that it really isn’t (and I may even agree with you), but it is a stretch to label the mainstream media as liars for grouping him with the alt-right when using the accepted definition as opposed to yours.
Besides, this is also irrelevant to the argument that the media is labeling all Trump supporters as white nationalist (a label which, in this case, appears to be itself irrespective of which end of the political spectrum he really is, unless you deny he is in favor of regional ethnic purity and in favor of Trump’s actions towards that end).

Don't always take this things so literally. I can't be bothered adding in all the necessary qualifying statements that don't need to be said. It's boring. Did I ever say, "every person in the media says every Trump supporter is a Nazi"? No.
I understand that people don't have humor any more, but re-read my statement. Was it a scientific claim of fact, or a hyperbolic statement?
I should have learned by now to qualify everything because pointless nitpicking is a thing, but it's just so foreign to 'our' way of thinking.
All of you should have seen enough from me to understand that nuance is a thing I can grasp, I just don't speak precise terms because that is not our way of speaking.
Thank you. At least you now admit that it was an exaggeration.
And, yes, sometimes exaggerations are alright and useful in driving a point. However, in this case the exaggeration was so grossly overextended with the purpose of completely changing a perspective from what is reality to an opposite reality just to paint your argument as valid.
That would be like taking a few instances of temperature drops at a few locales around the world on certain dates and exaggerating it to the point of saying that overall global temperatures are cooling at a massive scale, when the opposite is in fact happening. Now, if there were more instances of temperature drops on randomized selections of dates/locations than there were of temperature rises, and that the overall average of temperatures were going down, then a claim that the earth is cooling would be an acceptable exaggeration that doesn’t change the narrative from one side to the other, but, instead, just drives home the point of what is actually happening.
So your exaggeration that the accepted media viewpoint is that any Trump supporter is a white nationalist to Nazi isn’t anywhere remotely close to what the media is saying about Trump supporters and is a completely false characterization with the blatant intent of painting the media as a much more grossly biased and monstrous misrepresenter of news than they really are.
Some in the media are calling Trump a racist, yes, and some are pointing out that a segment of Trump supporters are racists and/or white nationalists, yes, but it would be very difficult to find anyone in the mainstream media who is claiming that all supporters, or even the majority of supporters, are white nationalists to Nazis, let alone being the generally accepted viewpoint across outlets.
