It depends on your definition of awful. People with opposing opinions, perfectly within their legal bounds? Yes. People violating the rights and safety of others? Absolutely not.

Saying they defeated fascists doesn't imply there are no more fascists left.
I can say I hunted deer, that doesn't mean there are no more deer left in the wild.
By referring to "fascists" (the people) rather than fascism (the ideology) you narrow your description to more accurately present the scope of your statement. The German Nazi party were fascists. They were defeated. We defeated fascists that day. There are more fascists, but that doesn't mean we didn't fight and defeat some number of fascists.
Honestly, more of the world (and especially the US) was strongly opposed to the Nazis during WWII than the population now, because it's been so long. Which makes the fact you gave even more frustrating for me honestly. Because we have the information now. We know. There's no excuse for present day.
Replace the word with "fascists" and it makes so much more logical sense. And this is why wording matters
"If you could stop killing people by the millions in a mass cultural genocide, that would be great. Thx."
These people never seem to realize that even at its most basic level, ensuring equal rights and freedoms requires a level of forfeiting individual freedoms. In order for everyone to have equal right to physical safety, you forego your freedom to punch them in the face without consequence.
These people go to talk about democracy, describe anarchy, then get upset when reality doesn't meet their expectations. Your expectations don't meet reality, bud.

This is a placebo meme.

Studies have shown that placebo memes are still upvoted even when users are aware they're placebo.
