One of the problems in the Liberals efforts at painting everyone to their right as a Nazi or Alt-right is that people come to disregard the term completely. After all, if everyone is a Nazi then no one is a Nazi, right? But the given their flawed term in office, the Liberals seem determined to run on a fear campaign.
Back in February, 2018, long before he was sidelined by an unrelated political scandal, Butts set off a firestorm when he Tweeted that “the lesson to take” from a British alt-right conspiracy theorist who had mocked Trudeau for his political correctness was that “nazi friends of the Rebel [a fringe Canadian alt-right media outlet]” are “paying attention. Game on, #TeamTrudeau.” The context for this was a well-publicized episode in which Trudeau had tut-tutted the sexism of a woman who had used the word “mankind” in a public forum (Trudeau jokingly suggested that “peoplekind” would have been more appropriate)—a spectacle that had attracted derision from all corners. Yet, ludicrously, Trudeau’s chief lieutenant was suggesting that this mocking reaction somehow was a symptom of the “Nazi” menace, which Canadians could fight back by supporting “#TeamTrudeau.” (Celebrity journalist Piers Morgan joined the fray by telling Butts on Twitter, “I’m not a Nazi,” and “if you’re one of @JustinTrudeau’s chief advisors, no wonder he’s making so many gaffes.” Morgan’s statement proved prophetic and the gaffes continued.)
In large part, the Liberal strategy has played on the language slippage that now marks all forms of political dialogue on social media: To be conservative, even slightly so, is to be right wing. To be right wing is to be alt-right (never mind that the decade-old term specifically relates to a xenophobic, bigoted strain of conservatism that has little to no mainstream influence in Canada). To be alt-right is to be extremist. And to be extremist is to be a Nazi. By this sort of rhetorical daisy chain can the laziest slur against any Canadian conservative be grossed up into the suggestion that we are on the verge of some kind of nationwide Kristallnacht.
