See PB, Eric proved that I was right about the Democratic side again. The Democratic side is more Bolshevik/Nazi/Sandinista/Old World than American these days.

Well, yes.  The approach during the crisis is towards a strong, competent government capable of using self sacrifice for the common good in solving the problems presented in the crisis.  Commonly in the US, this focus and strength weakens in the other turnings.  The red approach is the one of the unravelling turning, where selfishness is at an apex, when the individual's free choice is put above the needs of the many.

I just wouldn't boast about it, be proud of it.  Do you like seeing the bug kill people?  Are you racist?  Do you want to see the planet unlivable?

But, again, it is not difficult to tell the difference between Hitler or Stalin and Trump.  Different crisis, different problems are confronted, different lessons have to be learned.  You may be too incompetent to tell the difference and have to reach back to the last crisis for an argument, but there are many who are interested in solving this crisis rather than retreading the last one's arguments.  This time we are confronting COVUS, racial violent policing, structural racism, and to some degree global warming.  To some degree some reds are obsessed with racism, and might well be associated with Hitler's camp.  Other than that, different issues.
