The point in a conversation at which you realize that the person you're talking to is an intractable Nazi (or close enough). Usually encountered during "alternative fact"-laden discussions with supporters of reactionary movements, e.g., Donald J. Trump.
When Mr. Bannon started frothing at the mouth and calling me a "Cultural Marxist", we sorta hit Godwin's Wall, so I sent Mexico the bill and left.

An effect wherein any otherwise logical or reasonable argument becomes invalid simply through the referencing Nazism, the resulting imbroglio and fevered invoking of Godwin's Law thus rendering productive debate impossible.
Person 1: Your political agenda seems to hold many direct similarities to the politics of the Nazi Party in pre-WWII Germany, doesn't that concern you?
Person 2: ZOMG!! Godwin!! You are mean, and crazy!!!
Person 3: Yeah, dude...I agree with you, but you can't call someone a Nazi! WTF?!?

Person 2 & 3: You just called people Nazis! GTFO!!
Person 1: Fucking Godwin Effect!

Person 1: Did they seriously have to make the main character gay? This is forced diversity. I'm tired of all the rampant wokeness in modern media.

One of the best high schools in the state of Virginia, both athletically and academically. Those who bash on this school because of the "Hoes" and "Stoners" are only focusing on a minority of the population and have failed to research Godwin's scores and graduation rate. Godwin High School is home to one the most pleasant faculty/staff that you will ever come across. Mr. Nguyen is the face of the Eagles.
ex1: Deep Run Kid: chyeah dude, godwin is rank as hell brahhh
Everyone with a brain: Really, because I'm pretty sure Godwin High School has better scores than you even without the No-Fail Policy
Deep Run Kid: ... faggot
