[Rhiannon12866]

Two major Republican Party presidential contenders — Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — were among the headliners at this weekend’s Turning Point USA annual Student Action Summit. And just outside the venue were demonstrators with Nazi flags. What is it about the modern right that might attract those demonstrators? Former GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo weighs in. - Aired on 07/25/2022.

1. I thought Putin was fighting the Nazis in Ukraine

I mean, who's side is Trump on, anyway?

[Rhiannon12866]

2. And we thought what we heard from the Republicans before was disturbing

They've clearly gone completely over the edge! And we know that TFG in particular was never a student, but didn't any of them learn about WWII while in school???

3. WWII Nazis were racist christians, so today's racist christians identify. Shameless. Thus, the flag.

In their minds their white jesus must back their racism and Nazis are their roots. Features of strongman rule.

6. And what they are advocating is the antithesis of actual "Christianity!"

Where did these fascists learn about "Christianity??" I also took required "Bible" classes in school - and learned about Christ's teachings (alongside many Jewish classmates) and this has no resemblance to what we were taught...

7. Exactly. Christianity is their 'cover' and they KNOW it.

They sold their souls (no white people in the Bible, Jesus was a non-white Jew, etc., etc.) and minds for power of christian sharia enforcement, culture war elections. Talk about false prophets. Talk about satanic. Try to put a halt to their breach of the church/state wall and they scream like fake martyrs.
They make the public arena sickening.

And now the SCOTUS.

5. The fascists flock together.

They know and celebrate each others total destructiveness to our American democracy.
