“It’s the liberals fault that the GOP are nazis!” Is a new and very stupid take.

So the actual Nazis, in 1932, killed every known member of the communist party, because they were a threat to them. All of the liberal politicians were spared, because they were not in any way an impediment to their plans and granted the Nazis clout by association. It wasn't until 1939, when the plans were already underway, that they felt it was beneficial for them to kill the liberal politicians.

“Liberal” has meant many things over the years and has changed definitions greatly over the past 80ish years. A liberal party in 1932 is not the same as a liberal party in 2024, and different countries have liberal parties with entirely different ideals.
