"Nazis aren’t people who deport people for sneaking into a country illegally, Nazis are people who storm churches and harass worshippers and force them to leave."

You mean like this?

One thing we are learning is that this church apparently was a wicked, weird place - one of the offshoots of John Piper's ultimately failed ministry in Minneapolis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a21iXsxHVVI
That goes into a story about how a member of the congregation was abused by her husband - so Cities Church excommunicated her. This story is over a year ago, and I am sure more tea will be spilled.
To be clear - that protest was counterproductive, even if Pastor Easterwood is a pig, and a great example of how far the Christian Church has fallen to accommodate evil.
But to compare that to Nazism? Stop. The better analogy would be all the mainline German denominations that shrugged and went along with Hitler.

Talk about falling into the weeds, especially for someone who is less than up on Christian doctrine.

To be fair, I hear wearing jackboots and walking in high weeds it tough.

I’m not surprised to learn that Trumpers believe they have some special insight into Christianity

I am not disagreeing with you. American Christianity, in its current state, is embarrassing.
