I said it doesn’t matter if the Nazis were right wing or left wing

And you're completely wrong. They absolutely were right wing, and teaching history accurately matters.

The point being that just because in the past there were rotten apples in the left/right, it doesn’t mean that being in the left/right makes you a rotten apple.

Except for one little thing: Republicans are calling for the eradication of vulnerable minorities and then pretending that they're not acting like nazis and using the lie that nazis were left wing as justification.
