  3. His people love Nazis *and* russia, *and* trump? These people have an eBay bought twenty dollar ninja blender in their ten dollar brains.

  5. I did not see that coming, and, frankly, I find their language to be hollow/caustic.

  6. One question that has to be asked as Republicans keep worshipping the brutal fascist dictator Putin:

    how can you be so anti-China and pro-Russia, since Russia is a vassal state of China? How can you think Putin is strong when he has to ask China for permission before he does anything?

  7. I’m old enough to remember when being a Nazi was a deal breaker instead of a prerequisite.

  9. They’re Nazis without anything that made National *Socialists* appealing. Hitler’s war on immigrants and foreigners started and ended with Jews for a reason, because prominent Jews occupied positions of power within banks destroying any ability for a functional Wiemar Republic. Trump doesn’t have such an enemy besides mexicans and the catholic church, which doesn’t work when half his base is also catholic and wants a permissive immigration policy (at least in regards to themselves). Hitler supported this with a true national revitalization plan that would simply nationalize anything that didn’t cooperate, incorperate it into a new government department, and conscript laborers to preform the work. This was how many railways, subways, power lines, all autobahns and airports were built then. It’s also how the holocaust started .. which was an engineering program that required significant competence and skill to do. Trump has none of this and couldn’t even handle a basic National Guard deployment to Texas.

    They’re still dangerous regardless, but it’ll be in a different way. Hitler didn’t want to destroy the government, he wanted to be the government and create national unity. Populist Republicans want to destroy the government, and isolate themselves into their castles where they can sell their children into slavery and rebuild feudalism. This is the opposite of what Hitler wanted, perverse as it is. Nazis were also much cooler, whereas Republicans are known to be old boomers that, taken holistically, represent the senile aristocracy that the NASDP replaced.

  10. >We see nurtured in his campaign an incipient proto-fascism, a nativist anti-immigrant Know Nothing-ism, a disrespect for the judiciary. The prospect of women losing authority over their own bodies, African Americans again asked to go to the back of the line, voter suppression gleefully promoted, jingoistic saber rattling. A total lack of historical awareness. A political paranoia that, predictably, points fingers, always making the other wrong…
    We know from our history books that these are the diseases of ancient and now fallen empires.

  11. Heinous in WWII and still heinous. What a crappy thing to be clinging to.

  12. When tRump has Steven Miller and Roger Stone in his ear. These are some of the people manipulating tRump because he’s such a simpleton.

  13. [Great Replacement](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Great_Replacement) and [Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Anti-racist_is_a_code_word_for_anti-white) are two neo-nazi conspiracies that have quietly been mainstreamed on the right.

    >Mr. Trump tweeted a video on Oct. 18 that purported to be of someone connected to Mr. Soros handing out cash to the migrants — one of several insinuations and attacks on Mr. Soros by Republican leaders and candidates this fall. Then, on Oct. 22, a pipe bomb was found at Mr. Soros’s house; the police have charged a Trump supporter, Cesar Sayoc, with mailing the bombs to Mr. Soros and other Democrats whom the president frequently criticizes.

    >Robert Bowers, who was arrested in the assault on the Pittsburgh synagogue, also pushed online conspiracy theories about the migrant caravan, in addition to anti-Semitic diatribes.

  16. And the left allow the antisemitism to fester and colleges and universities. The left are as awful as Trump

  18. “If Republicans become convinced that they have become Nazis, they will not abandon Nazism, they will abandon democracy”

  19. He might reconsider this campaign strategy as there are still really old American veterans that fought in Germany and do not take kindly to this bullshit campaign banter. They’re old enough that they don’t have much time to lose if they get a life sentence.

  21. Ffs, the GOP has been using racist dog whistles since I was able to vote in 1998… and before then, I just wasn’t paying any mind to politics before I could vote.

  22. I voted for trump in 2016, 2020, and will again in 2024. Genuinely cant wait for him to win for the 3rd time in a row.

  23. Hopefully the Mango Mussolini of Mar-A-Lardo goes to prison.

  24. I’m an average person when it comes to Nazi history. Like if I hear a Nazi slogan I would be like ‘I’m pretty sure that’s a Nazi slogan’ but couldn’t tell you any of them from memory. I doubt I’ve ever used a combination of words that came off as sounding like a Nazi slogan. Rare chance you will ever see 88 and 14 together in any combination in anything I do.

    So I got to wonder how these people keep *accidently* using Nazi stuff in everything they do.

  26. Don’t understand why Latinos vote for him. They will all be shipped out, citizenship or not, if he wins.

  30. Article starts off repeating the “fine people” hoax. No need to continue reading.

  32. It’s not a secret. Their voters don’t care.

  33. Project 2025 is their entire agenda. Trump has acknowledged it and this is the playbook. Please read up on it.

  34. Ultra-lefties at college doing it too. We need an extreme moderate candidate.

  36. Republicans are the unified Reich, the official American Nazi party.
