    HERE ARE THEIR NOMINEES


    Here are examples from the Republican side of the aisle:

    · In California, John Fitzgerald, a proud Holocaust denier, captured 23 percent of the vote in the “open primary” in a California congressional district northeast of San Francisco. This made him the official GOP candidate and, initially, won him the automatic endorsement of the State Republican Party

    · In Illinois, Arthur Jones, who boasts that he was once head of the American Nazi Party, ran unopposed and won a GOP congressional primary in a district including parts of the city of Chicago, defending the position that: “To me the Holocaust is what I said it is: It’s an international extortion racket.”

    · In Wisconsin, in retiring U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan’s district, Holocaust denier Paul Nehlen vaulted to the front of would-be successors. Before Twitter suspended his account, Nehlen photoshopped an image of Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s biracial American bride with the face of Cheddar Man, the dark-skinned man supposed to be the first modern Briton.

    Its not like you can stop anyone from running under your parties label you know.

    That doesn't mean you support them.

    In fact, the GOP has pulled support from all of those people if you bothered to fact check any of them.

    I suppose that doesn't fit your narrative though does it?

    Fair enough, you will note, however, that none of them ran as Democrats

    I guess none of them got the memo that Nazis are leftists now

    The longest serving senator in US history was a democrat until he retired in 2010.

    He was a former Grand Dragon in the KKK.

    David Duke started out running as a democrat.

    So....you were saying?

    No GOP candidate that has been tied to Nazis or KKK has won a federal election since 1920. Guess the electorate never got the memo they are supposed to be racist who vote for racist.

    About the ONLY thing I really agree with David Irving on is that the Jews were just convenient enemies for Hitler and the Nazis. one of the several groups he wanted to kill and just the particular ones most prominent at the time. With Trump it's Muslims and Hispanics.

    The Nazis were more about liquidation of their enemies than just being anti-semitic.

    You appear to think not having open borders and not wanting terrorists is like Hitler.

    Hitler chose the Jews cause they were meek and also the top demographic he could steal the money from. They were very affluent in Germany and Hitler was a socialist looking to redistribute the wealth towards the majority white Arians. Trump going after refugee muslims and dirt poor Hispanics is a dumb comparison cause they aren't anywhere near what the Jews were. If trump was "literally hitler", he'd go after Asian and Indian Americans since they are the top demographics in the US as far as income and wealth is concerned.

    And you're ALL still Nazis, because you have some in your party. I just got this memo here that says I should never even backhandedly say anything good about a rightist and I will surely hang that on my wall.

    I don't just think that, it's so. Hitler used xenophobia and fear as his main appeals

    I'll well, lets get specific really. Nazi as in the right is a socialist party? Or Nazi as in there are some who profess to be and republican but shunned by the rest of the party? Don't think the parties can revoke membership since there are really no dues to be a registered anything.

    No, he used envy and greed to push redistribution of wealth first. He used identity politics and propaganda to make people feel they were cheated of their opportunity to gain wealth cause of the evil 1% (jews) were hoarding it all.

    He's still using xenophobia and fear as his main appeals. The actual identity of the "enemy" doesn't matter, (and saying it does is, in fact, racist/ethnicist itself) The idea is to appropriate power, being able to loot your enemy is just icing on the cake.

    The Jews were mainly small shopkeepers and professionals, (one of Hitler's codewords for them in speeches was "pawnbrokers" whom many people had lost precious mementos to in the hyperinflation). Hitler allied with the Big Business owners one of whom famously remarked, "We can handle this Hitler fellow"

    Let me know when Trump wants to build a wall on the Canadian border, and when any substantial number of terrorists come from the predominantly Muslim nations Trump now has travel bans on

    I expect silly posts like yours. Are you talking about the nations on the list Congress made that was added to by the Obama admin?

    Nazi's were socialist as much as the Democratic Republic of North Korea is a Democratic Republic and this endless quibbling over names is a known propaganda tactic of totalitarians on both the right and the left. The people in the original question were Holocaust Deniers and those are known as FUNCTIONALLY Nazis, recognized and outlawed as such in Germany.

    So is the left. So does all politicians. Most leftist are talking about straight white males as the reason for the worlds problems.

    And Asians are just hard working individuals in America. The size of the business they ran doesn't matter when they are all profiting vs a small fraction of the Arians scraping by.

    Sure, Hitlers own words called them socialist. Its just like the Spencers group, they want socialism too. Just because they want socialism only for whites doesn't make it any less socialistic. Hitler wanted to spread the wealth from Jews to arians. That's why he confiscated their businesses.
