"Make America Nazi-Free Again."

Hmm, the slogan seems to be ambiguous enough to draw possible support and opposition in a number of ways.

1. Pro-Trump Opposing/Anti-Trump Supporting view: See it as using the "Make America Great Again" slogan as a slighting reference toward Donald Trump and his followers being the "Nazis" in America.

2. Pro-Trump Supporting view: See it as using the "Make America Great Again" slogan as a supportive statement for Donald Trump and his followers, being against the rise of Nazis in America.

3. Anti-Trump Opposing view: See it as using the "Make America Great Again" slogan as a way to to imply those who don't agree with Donald Trump are Nazis that America needs to be freed of.

4. Neo-Nazi view: See the context of the game's thematic setting being a direct attack on their political beliefs, using current reworded political slogans as indicated above.

5. Non-political view: See it in context of the game's thematic setting, free of outside politics. Or are just generally ok with the idea of being rid of Nazis regardless of political context.

Surprisingly, THIS topic makes for very interesting thought about the future of modern political statements expressed in interactive 1st Amendment protected gaming. To what extent could modern sociopolitical topics be influenced in the real world, through taking interactive involvement (albeit virtual) in a game that seeks to paint the issue in a positive or negative manner based on the creators views?

While I am definitely Anti-(neo)Nazi, there tweet brought the game out of it's usual fantasy context, and into the modern world, where real people, with real views, could be envisioned as the characters being killed throughout the game. In all honesty, outside of a declared war on a foreign nation, I wouldn't wish that on any group of Americans with opposing views. It's just not a line that should be crossed, as far as demonizing our own population, even if subtly. . .

As usual, my personal opinions.

Nelson, nice try but you don’t get points for originality when you channel your inner snowflake and try to project it at others.

Wow. I might actually pick up this game, the first one was interesting.
