Elections 20 000 Republicans just voted a Nazi through the primaries

[snakedafunky]

Being a german national socialist is not the same as a socialist. The Nazis were rightwing but just threw the word socalist into their party name.

No the Nazi's were definitely socialists. Especially in the beginning when the Strasser brothers had a lot of influence on the economic policy in the early years.
But the Strasser's could probably be considered has hardcore socialists and were later ousted by Hitler.
But the Nazis were socialists. You don't have to be on the left to be a socialist. The far right in Europe today are mostly socialists as well.
Like the Front National or German NPD.

I care about as much as I care about all racists, sexists, degenerates, etc on the "left" that ascend to holding political office in the U.S.

How much is that?

Somehow, someway, it is the fault of the LIBRULS!!!!!!!

This reminds me I read an article about a Georgia town that received a bunch of immigrants from Mexico and Asia and discussing the political atmosphere there.

Some Cuban-American Republican was very popular among Republicans (Majority white of course) and then someone spread a rumor that he was an illegal from Mexico and lost the race

Republicans will vote in a verified Nazi (This isn’t the first time... David Duke ring a bell?) but if someone spreads a rumor that you came here illegally but are otherwise a good citizen... well that’s just way too far

Daisy Duke's brother? That IS cause for concern.

But they both are cool with calling the Parkland kids Nazis.

So, the actual American Nazi Party leader is not a Nazi. But the High School kids from Parkland are Nazis.

Feminists are nazis too.

It needs to be noted that he was running unopposed so nobody needed to vote for him at all. Political statement?

Nazis no longer exist. They were the German party under Adolf Hitler.
Now neo-nazis do exist. But I would say them having no military force or death camps filled with jews makes them significantly different.

But keep destroying the meaning of the word.

 

[EvilRyu]

don't know much about this but how many leftist voted for communist bernie? communism killed more than nazism.

Well, I did Nazi that coming..

Well, they did have some socialist views economically. They also seemed to support larger more controlling government too which would also go against much of conservative philosophy depending on how you define it.


They were just another group of fucked up totalitarians and the end of the day.

You are grasping here. Stalin and Hitler knew they were idealogical incompatible. So much so, Stalin's pact with Hitler was all about trying to stay out of the war as long as possible to give Russia time to modernize their army and let the axis and allies wear themselves out to allow for russia to spread its influence west, which is what happened basically.

Hey @Judge this post is for you:

TS: this guy, Art Jones, is a Nazi.


Illinois Dems:. Art Jones is a Nazi.


Illinois GOP: Art Jones is a Nazi.


Art Jones: Yep. I used to run the American Nazi party. I'm a national socialist. I admire Hitler and think that the Jews are corrupting our government.


@Palis and @Bloodworth : is he really a Nazi though

 

[HomerThompson]

Feminists are nazis too.

They even have their own subgroup.

FEMINAZIS!!!

No, I'm not grasping at anything. What I said is true. And nothing in your post refutes what I said at all. I wasn't trying to connect the Nazis and Stalin either -so I don't even see the point of bringing that up in regards to responding to what I said. The Nazis's and Communists are not the same, and I'm not implying they are.

There are ideals economically and governmentally with the Nazis that are closer to socialist ideals -especially in the way Hitler executed certain aspects of power governing.

Bumping this thread because Art Jones, a self-described neo-nazi, received 55,000 votes in the general.

Really hoping it's just from uneducated voters not knowing this race and voting R down the ticket

It's still a problem in itself, but much less a problem than 50k actual nazi supporters

This guy isn't someone the media calls a nazi just for being against immigration laxness, this guy himself says he is indeed a nazi and denies the holocaust

Lol. This still makes me laugh because it's so typical in here.
