    People didn't steadily denigrate, mock, and ostracize the extended families of folks who perpetrated, justified, and authorized this against foreigners enough.

    It's actually bad for society to suppress moral repugnancy.

    Anybody who calls Trump a Nazi for what he does should be even more upset at the individuals who unnecessarily took part in waterboarding foreigners.
