The Texas GOP's Nazi problem
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
It's time for all Texans to wake up to what the Texas Republican Party has become.
We don't mean Texas Republicans in general. We mean the party's official fundraising and messaging organization led by ousted state representative Matt Rinaldi.
Rinaldi picked up where his predecessor Allen West left off in leading with nastiness, conspiracy dabbling and an eagerness to impose far-right litmus tests on all Republicans. It's common, in fact, for Texas GOP mailings to focus more on political attacks on fellow Republicans than on policy differences with Democrats.
But if you want to know just how bad things have gotten, you have to look beyond the daily email stream to the recent vote of the state GOP's executive committee.
The Texas Tribune reported Saturday that the committee voted 32-29 to strip a pro-Israel resolution of a clause that would have barred "the party from associating with known Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers."
Think about that for a minute. The state Republican Party refused to officially prohibit associating with Nazis or neo-Nazis or whatever stripe of antisemitic and racist hatemongers who have gone from trolling the internet's underbelly to meeting with state party leaders.
We are talking about Nick Fuentes, who in October visited the offices of Republican strategist Jonathan Stickland's firm Pale Horse Strategies, which describes itself as "the engine that drives the conservative movement."
Rinaldi was at Pale Horse's office for seven hours according to the Tribune's reporting but denies meeting with Fuentes or even knowing Fuentes was in the building. That isn't credible, but such is the state of the party that these sorts of misdirections are stock in trade now.
All of this is wrapped up in the money that supports leading Texas officials, in particular Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Too many voters have either lost interest or willingness to follow the money and its consequences. We are paying for that now.
It is incredibly important for the Texas GOP to officially distance itself from the poisonous hatred that Fuentes and all white supremacists and antisemites represent.
All Texas Republicans need to think about whether this group is really representing them. Have we gone this far that we can't support the sort of common sense and decency this resolution was intended to bolster?
If you are a Republican and this disturbs you as much as it did us, answer the call to hold the party accountable.
Party leaders and voters who reject division and hatred have to speak up, with their bully pulpits and at the polls.

The Texas gop has a "Nazi Problem"! The eyes of the world are upon them...

[deleted]
Let me enlighten you a tad George.
[Deleted] Antisemitic assholes = Nazi's = the new democrat party. Type far right 10 more times it doesn't change the actual facts that democrats model all the behavior of Nazi's. except keeping the trains running on time, they suck at that.
Bing chat is essentially just a faster way to get search results.
Continue on with your denial of reality, no less is expected.
The usual Pronouncement with no substantive information to validate your adolescence name calling.
No, Democrats condemn all Nazis and any Nazi defenders in Texas!
Please provide a link where the Texas Democratic Party has done so.
Just saying it is so doesn't cut it.
[Deleted]
Not one of those is from Texas, so one can only assume it doesn't exist, so we are desperately deflecting from the fact that democrats now embrace all things Nazi.... the only alternative is a lack the comprehension to understand what question was asked, and the proper way to answer it.
Plus it is kind of telling that democrats are so fucking stupid that they have to pass a resolution condemning Nazis, normal people already understand that without someone telling them to.
[Deleted]
“Plus it is kind of telling that democrats are so fucking stupid that…”
…that what?
I’m a democrat…tell me how ‘fucking stupid’ I am. Enlighten me. Please.
If you need to pass a resolution telling you that Nazi's are [bad,deleted.] Here is another one for you. All people are equal, people of color don't need your help based solely on skin color, stop insulting them and proving your racism saying they do.
“If you need to pass a resolution…”
I am not advocating anything of the sort. And of course I believe all people are equal. So again, how, as a democrat, does that make me so ‘fucking stupid’? Hope that helps whittle it down for you.
Since your original comment cherry picked part of a sentence, let me put the whole thing in for you.
Hope this helps clarify it for you, but history says probably not.
“Hope this helps clarify it for you…”
No clarification necessary, george.
I may be a ‘fucking stupid’ democrat, [Deleted]
[Deleted]
That is not so.
The modern Nazi's are on campus protesting.
It appears that there are approx. 105 Nazi supporters in the current democrat congress.
Correct. The anti-Semites of today have a new name but it is the same thing. The difference is that the haters once had blond hair and blue eyes [Deleted] That makes all the difference for many democrats.
What you posted is crap, a deflection from the issue at hand, NOT REGARDING TEXAS DEMOCRATS BUT TEXAS REPUBLICANS!
Given the clear association of Republicans & Nazis, the idea of asking Democrats to denounce Nazi connections is a bullshit redundancy rhetorical ruse right out of the Joseph Goebbels’ playbook of accusing the so-called other side of that which YOU are guilty.
Charlottesvile UNITE THE RIGHT rally, 2017
read what I wrote, THEN attempt to answer.
[Deleted]
I may be a ‘fucking stupid’ democrat, [Deleted]…
…but I know when enough bullshit is enough…my time is going to be much better spent forgetting the idiocy and stupidity and ignorance and fear that pervades this place.
Peace…
It is disheartening how my seeds are relentlessly trolled with such dishonest bullshit. Are there no standards for truth?
Please keep fighting the good fight against "The Dark Side"...
That would be on the republicant side, not the Democrats.
Ain't it something how some are allowed to shit all over your articles? With next to no repercussions or tickets whatsoever.
[That's what happens when nothing is flagged before nasty comments start flying both ways. By the time the mods get here, it's either delete everything, or let both sides keep at it. There are nasty comments from both sides here. We can't just delete comments from one side]
I don't blame you AFK. That's why not that many people choose to stick around any longer.
A lof of decent people are tired of it.
The RWNJs are taking over.
Very sad and shameful.
That's why I don't spend that much time here lately either.

"the democrat party now represents everything the nazi's stood for. buy a mirror democrats before you point your finger at others"
I challenge you to be specific rather than do the characteristically Joseph Goebbels' tactic, namely …
MAGA/NAZIS are the ones bombing synagogues …
Trump had dinner with two avowed antisemites. Let’s call this what it is
Trump goes all in on Nazi rhetoric, and the media gives him another free pass
Why Trump's authoritarian language about 'vermin' matters
I am going to take the Elon Musk approach to your comments, until you can post an original thought and not copy and past from others.
“…until you can post an original thought…”
…funny stuff, by george…
Cop out with no viable attempt at discussion or rebuttal.
Since the actual authors aren't here, nobody to debate. unless you want to try a original thought without having to copy and paste someone elses opinion or idea. do you have an opinion on the liberal left embracing hamas? or why do democrats think people of color are inferior?
Every time i try to educate you run away, do you want to deny that Obama turned children over to child sex traffickers again?
Obama administration placed children with human traffickers, report says - The Washington Post
Ya!
LOL, you are so desperate you are criticizing someone for providing proof of what they are saying.
Again; A Joseph Goebbels Nazi strategy of blaming the other side of that which YOU are guilty!
So you admit to what liberals do every day?
Good to know,.
[Deleted]
It’s amazing isn’t it? 10 more democrats voted to support nazism than voted against it today and democrats accuse republicans of being nazi’s, no wonder they are so comfortable quoting Goebbels.
Sigh…I get really tired explaining the simplest of things.
where is his original thought John, can you show me where he posted an original thought and didn’t just copy and paste the opinion of others?
at least you post your own thoughts and try to defend them.
so John, 105 democrats voted for Nazis and and against Israel today, that is more than half of the democrats in the house, why is your party pro-nazi and antisemitic?
Get a grip on yourself, posting a comment that contains five links to mainstream media sites, which is what he did, is not trolling.
So again, i haven't seen a single original thought, simply a parrot of someone else's.
The relationship between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism is a complex and controversial one. While some people argue that anti-Zionism is a form of anti-Semitism, others argue that the two are distinct and should not be conflated.
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) , anti-Zionism can be considered anti-Semitic if it invokes anti-Jewish tropes, is used to disenfranchise, demonize, disparage, or punish all Jews and/or those who feel a connection to Israel, exploits Jewish trauma by invoking the Holocaust in order to position Jews as akin to Nazis, or renders Jews less worthy of nationhood and self-determination than other peoples 1 .
However, some people argue that anti-Zionism is not inherently anti-Semitic, and that it is possible to criticize the policies of the Israeli government without being anti-Jewish 2 . It is important to note that the terms “Zionism” and “anti-Zionism” refer to political ideologies, while “anti-Semitism” refers to hostility and prejudice directed against Jewish people 3 .
In summary, while some people consider anti-Zionism to be equivalent to anti-Semitism, others argue that the two are distinct and should not be conflated. The topic is a sensitive one, and it is important to approach it with care and sensitivity.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
105 Democrats did not vote for Nazis. Cut out the crap.
The party of Hitler lives.
Greg Price on X: "BREAKING: 92 Democrats just voted present on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism. 13 voted against. It ended up passing with 311 votes. https://t.co/Unta8Yg0ZZ" / X (twitter.com)
I just posted an article that explains it far better than your tweet. What are you doing?
Thank You!
Holy shit! THE PEW WEE HERMAN "REBUTTAL"
Weak and so much in the MAGA motif of "I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I"!
So again, i haven't seen a single original thought, simply a parrot of someone else's.
Quite telling coming from someone who never has anything specific to say in defense or opposition to someone's position - but with a never-ending barrage of DISMISSIVE COMMENTS!
Make your case or remain silent!
Their vote is on record John, are you denying how they voted? Antisemitism lives in the new Nazi party of democrats.
Keep hammering it, AMac. Sometimes it takes a little while [Deleted]
Looking in the mirror?
You are aware that 'X' is not a news agency, right?
Nazi's were fascists...
Fascism is, was and always will be a right wing ideology.
Fascism ( / ˈ f æ ʃ ɪ z əm / FASH -iz-əm ) is a far-right , authoritarian , ultranationalist political ideology and movement, [1] [2] [3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy , militarism , forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy , subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. [2] [3]
Fascism rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. [4] [5] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I , before spreading to other European countries , most notably Germany . [4] Fascism also had adherents outside of Europe. [6] Opposed to anarchism , democracy , pluralism , liberalism , socialism , and Marxism , [7] [8] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum . [4] [8] [9]
Fascists saw World War I as a revolution that brought massive changes to the nature of war, society, the state, and technology. The advent of total war and the mass mobilization of society erased the distinction between civilians and combatants. A military citizenship arose in which all citizens were involved with the military in some manner. [10] The war resulted in the rise of a powerful state capable of mobilizing millions of people to serve on the front lines and providing logistics to support them, as well as having unprecedented authority to intervene in the lives of citizens. [10]
Fascism rejects assertions that violence is inherently negative or pointless, instead viewing imperialism , political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation. [11] [12] Fascists often advocate for the establishment of a totalitarian one-party state , [13] [14] and for a dirigiste [15] [16] economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through economic interventionist policies. Fascism's extreme authoritarianism and nationalism often manifest as a belief in racial purity or a master race , usually blended with some variant of racism or discrimination against a demonized " Other ", such as Jews . These ideas have motivated fascist regimes to commit massacres , forced sterilizations , deportations , and genocides . [17] During World War II , the actions of the fascist Axis powers , with their genocidal and imperialist ambitions, caused the death of millions of people.
Since the end of World War II in 1945, few parties have openly described themselves as fascist; the term is more often used pejoratively by political opponents. The descriptions of neo-fascist or post-fascist are sometimes employed to describe contemporary parties with ideologies similar to, or rooted in, 20th-century fascist movements. [4] [18] Some opposition groups have adopted the label anti-fascist or antifa to signify their stance. [19]
Democrats a fascists. Bidens a fascist.
You are aware that you have already lost when you attack the source and not the content right??????
I gave you the book definition of fascism, not my fault you didn't read it....
Here, let me help you...
Fascism ( / ˈ f æ ʃ ɪ z əm / FASH -iz-əm ) is a far-right , authoritarian , ultranationalist political ideology and movement , [1] [2] [3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy , militarism , forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy , subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Nazis, Nazis, Nazis everywhere, oh My!
Seriously do democrats really need to pass a resolution to tell them Nazi's are bad? have they really become that fucking stupid, this goes for republicans too. Nazi's are bad!!! no resolution needed.
Democrats, unlike Trump don’t have dinner with Nazis nor do they have Proud Boys in their base!
Democrats have the klan, and 105 members who just outed themselves as antisemitic nazis. That’s today, antisemitic = Nazi= democrats.
Please verify that allegation; name the 105, verify the kkk allegation. You are merely a pronouncement machine. More Goebbels!
Swing and a miss.
You are in for a long wait.
Apparently, there are over 90 nazi democrats in the house:
im sure the people in hysterics over state representatives in Texas will be doubly hysterical over this
What was the precise wording of the resolution? Who were the no votes? Was there a poison pill provision?
THERE WAS A POISON PILL!
“That is either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,” he said.
“The authors, if they were at all familiar with Jewish history and culture, should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was, and is, expressly not antisemitic,” he said.
Ahead of the vote, Democratic Reps. Jerry Nadler and Daniel Goldman of New York and Jamie Raskin of Maryland urged their colleagues to vote “present” on the GOP resolution, describing it as a partisan attempt to score political points and saying that a bipartisan approach is needed.
Nadler, Goldman and Raskin on Monday introduced an alternative resolution that condemns antisemitism and calls on executive branch agencies and Congress to implement the Biden administration’s national strategy to counter antisemitism.
In November, the GOP-controlled House passed a bill to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel. Democrats, however, took issue with the bill over the fact that it would enact funding cuts to the Internal Revenue Service and would not include aid to Ukraine .
Senate Republicans, on the other hand, have argued that aid for Ukraine and Israel must be paired with border policy changes, which has created a sticking point in that chamber.
Take a guess. The Hamas cheerleader, the squard member legitimizing rape by Hamas etc...
resolution stating that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism.
Funny how Hallux posted an article today called "how to get away with antisemitism" that pointed out that exact dodge. Bigots claim they are just "anti-zionists" while peddling anti-semitism.
Tis is what Martin Luther King Jr. was referring to when he said , “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism.”
One person who has mastered this maneuver is the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, the man responsible for the most anti-Jewish violence in the world today. In 2021, he posted on social media: “The Zionists have always been a plague, even before establishing the fraudulent Zionist regime. Even then, Zionist capitalists were a plague for the whole world. Now they’re a plague especially for the world of Islam.”
In case the references to rapacious capitalists and comparisons of people to disease didn’t give it away, Khamenei was also not talking about the Amish. He was taking garden-variety anti-Semitism, replacing the word Jews with Zionists , and relying on his audience being too dense or partisan to care."
In November, the GOP-controlled House passed a bill to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel.
Yes, it's sad Democrats put their love of open border over supporting Israel.
Poison pill??
Are you positive about that?
There are 212 Democrats in the House of Representatives. The majority of Democrats voted to condemn anti-Semitism in a bipartisan vote.
Only 92 voted "present"--which is a cowardly, stupid-ass thing to do. I guess anti-Semitism just doesn't matter to them, or some even may support it (Looking at you, The Squad!)
Vote your damn convictions, Democrats, don't hide behind "Present"!
HOW BOUT THAT?!!!!
Otherwise, although you and I never agree, we've been around here for a long time, so, I wish you and yours a merry Christmas, happy new year and good health.
A. Mac
Yeah. Not only positive, but the details are posted herein; [Deleted] or, just the usual deflection resulting from an INCONVENIENT TRUTH!
Don't insult everyone's intelligence by playing these adolescent games. If you cant go point-counter-point, just go.
Likewise.
I cannot believe that we allow people to associate the GOP with Nazis.
Read the article. I cannot believe the gop refuses to disassociate themselves from Nazis. And no, we are not talking about those who are protesting the Israeli invasion of Gaza. Nope, we are talking white supremacists, white nationalists and Ku Klux Klan type racist Nazis!
If people that are members of the GOP who associate with Nazis would only stop.
Another GOEBBELS COMMENT.
The GOP’s Nazi Problem Has Deep Roots
To build their popular front on the right, Republicans are happy to recruit white nationalists.
The GOP’s white nationalist problem extends beyond the Trump/DeSantis race. On Wednesday, Media Matters reported that Matteo Cina, a Fox News staffer and former writer for Texas Governor Gregg Abbott, repeatedly posted anti-Semitic messages on TikTok. One Cina post argued that “it is hard to talk about the Holocaust and rising anti semitism [sic] without discussing Jewish presence in banking.” Arizona Representative Paul Gosar has extensive ties to the racist far right.
On Tuesday, November 22, 2022, former President Donald Trump hosted white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and rapper Ye , formerly known as Kanye West, at his Mar-a-Lago home. Trump’s willingness to associate with figures who have repeatedly spread antisemitic and white supremacist tropes is deeply concerning and has not gone unnoticed by extremists.
Fuentes, a white supremacist and rabid misogynist who attended the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville , has repeatedly spread racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories. Despite his history of antisemitism, he has forged alliances with a variety of far-right figures, including some GOP officials .
Neo-Nazi and Proud Boys groups push Trump campaign poll watching operation online: Reports
Keep posting that "piss in my face and tell me 'it's raining" crap and I'll bury you with verified rebuttal!
They dont know you the way some of the rest of us do.
The States' Rights Democratic Party (whose members are often called the Dixiecrats) was a short-lived segregationist political party in the United States, active primarily in the South. It arose due to a Southern regional split in opposition to the regular Democratic Party.
This argument has been made at least 10,000 times, and its incessant repetition bears no relevance in 2021.
Yes, in the mid-19th century, the majority of southerners were Democrats, and the majority of slave-owners were Democrats. And, more to the point, the Democratic Party of that day supported the chattel slave system, and fought a civil war that killed more than 800,000 Americans to protect the right to own slaves, and keep that slave system in tact.
That was in 1860. Over the course of the ensuing 160 years, the positions of the Democratic and Republicans have changed unalterably, and comparing to Democratic Party of today with the Democratic Party of 1860 is a grossly inaccurate undertaking.
That's where a lot of them can be found.
I think Chuck Schumer told us where they were:
"Notably, Schumer cautioned in his speech that “many” of the people expressing antisemitism in America were “people that most liberal Jewish Americans felt previously were their ideological fellow travelers.” After referring to protests against violence directed toward Black, Hispanic, and Asian people, as well as members of the LGBTQ community, Schumer said that “in the eyes of some, that principle does not extend to the Jewish people.”
Schumer warns ‘antisemites are taking advantage’ of pro-Palestinian effort - The Washington Post
Exactly where they can be found is exactly where I stated.
The Hamas killers and rapists are essentially the Nazis of today. Same hatreds, same terrorism, same tactics.
And yet the Democrat party has been slow to condemn them. Why?
Instead, we get some insane blather and bullshit by unhinged progressives about some Texas GOP members.
Nazis today are the same goddamn Nazi trash they always were!
These are the Nazis the gop in Texas refuse to disassociate with!
Please present evidence that the Texas GOP Is associated with Nazis.
If you are going to claim something, be able to back it up.
There is a sociological phenomenon that, when given impetus and rationale, results in what is known as an ephemeral group.
An ephemeral group is a coalition that comes into existence for just enough time to pursue an opportunity and then dissolves . Ephemeral groups can be formed within a larger organization or from a set of individuals with little previous knowledge of one another.
America faces a threat that has been both declared and defined, namely, Donald Trump's proclamation of a re-election outcome whereby he literally can execute whoever he perceives to be his political enemies, and, which gives him endless power within his dictatorship!
Millions of American who are paying attention to this declaration, ARE FRIGHTENED, having no doubts the Trump will, if given the chance, DO EXACTLY WHAT HE HAS SAID HE WOULD DO.
This COLLECTIVE FEAR, currently experienced by " a set of individuals with little previous knowledge of one another" - IN MY OPINION WILL, DRIVEN BY REAL FEAR, BECOME AN "EPHEMERAL GROUP" - a coalition whose sole purpose is to do whatever is necessary to prevent a GESTAPO-LIKE entity before it comes for any so-called "political enemies".
NOTE: WARSAW GHETTO UPRISING
On April 19, 1943, the Warsaw ghetto uprising began after German troops and police entered the ghetto to deport its surviving inhabitants. Jewish insurgents inside the ghetto resisted these efforts. This was the largest uprising by Jews during World War II and the first significant urban revolt against German occupation in Europe. By May 16, 1943, the Germans had crushed the uprising and deported surviving ghetto residents to concentration camps and killing centers.
This prototype, should it rise like a phoenix from the ashes of history, IMO, would not be contained in a ghetto where its would-be executioners had containment ability; more likely, an "uprising" would come as did the TENTH PLAGUE over Egypt in the story of the Jewish Holiday, Passover … out of nowhere and out of everywhere … out of the dark of night and the shadows of the day.
In the words of Martin Niemoller, a German theologian and Lutheran pastor during the Holocaust …
“Those That Fail To Learn From History Are Doomed To Repeat It.” _ Winston Churchill.
Where was Gov. Abbott when Holocaust denial became an issue in Carroll ISD?
Abbott was silent last week when a school administrator in Carroll ISD, overreacting to the new, so-called “critical race theory” law that Abbott promoted and signed, told teachers to put books with “opposing” views of the Holocaust – books by Holocaust deniers, in other words — in their classroom libraries.
YOU will move the goalposts like you always do despite the reality that I give you the time, effort and respect to respond to those disingenuous moves. You demand "proof" while never providing any appropriate responses when it's given.
They always try to dog liberals about something or other their leaders did, or did not, say about some person or issue. But never speak up about their own.
Abbott is a joke.
That picture was from a rally in Orlando, Florida.
It's amazing, 105 democrats vote the NAZI party line and democrats desperately try to deflect.
LIES.
Please stop lying about this.

Does this guy have a job?
That's JBB's comment. He didn't say this photo was from a rally in Texas now did he?
"Opposing views"????
Who the hell can have an "opposing view" except a Holocaust denier which is exactly what Abbot is!
Alleged by a master of deflection himself, doing exactly what the Nazi playbook tells the Nazi to do!
Quoting a democrat spokesperson is not helping the cause that democrats aren't nazi's
I can't explain it to you
Which Nazis is it okay to associate with?
apparently rashida tlaib and the other hamas apologists are hunky dory with democrats.
That's such a dishonest smear.
exas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law on June 16 that formally adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, which is widely used by the international community.
House Bill 3257 also created The Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Council. The council will produce biennial studies of antisemitism in Texas, work with schools and institutions of higher education to develop effective methods to combat antisemitism and implement courses of Holocaust and genocide study and awareness in the Lone Star state.
The IHRA’s “Working Definition of Antisemitism” adopted on May 26, 2016, defines antisemitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.”
By formally defining antisemitism in statute, the state of Texas joins 30 countries across the globe in codifying a uniform definition of antisemitism in statute. By creating a council, the state government is concretely directing resources towards combating antisemitism, said Randall Czarlinsky, American Jewish Committee Houston director. Czarlinsky was one of the witnesses who testified to Texas legislators in Austin on behalf of the bill.

Here's another law Abbott championed creating a Holcuast Rememberance Week in Texas schools:

Every time you do it, I will call you out for doing it. It's been SPECIFICALLY EXPLAINED several times in this thread. If you cannot refute it specifically, just remain silent.

Trump campaign defends "vermin" speech amid fascist comparisons
A Trump campaign spokesman defended the former president's use of the word "vermin" to describe his political enemies, calling critics "snowflakes" whose "entire existence will be crushed" if Trump wins in 2024.
Why it matters: Some historians have compared Trump's dehumanizing language — including his claim that undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" — to the rhetoric of fascist dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
As member addressed responded, 7.1.23 will stand.
7.1.25 was removed as taunting..
So you can not come up with any members of the Texas GOP associating with Nazis
Good talk.
I don't think real facts can possibly be as appealing as bashing some Republicans for shit they didn't even do!

George GOEBBELS strikes again!
The Republican Party is dropping its Klan hood
Their platform? White supremacy. Their political and social goals? White supremacy
It’s No Mystery Why Racists Have Fallen in Love With Trump’s Republican Party
The KKK did not choose to support Donald Trump because he was a Republican—but because they agreed with the ideas that he and other far-right politicians spout.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R-TX)
The Great Replacement theory has motivated mass murder both in the United States and around the world . It was forced from the dark corners of white supremacist platforms into the mainstream right by then-leader of the Republican Party, President Donald Trump, and his administration; the highest-rated cable news host, Tucker Carlson; members of the Republican Party’s congressional leadership; a number of the party’s rank and file in Congress; several high-profile Republican candidates for Senate; and the governor and lieutenant governor of Texas, among many others.
All MAGA supporters of the former 'president'. His base.
For 30+ years, in grievance hearings, arbitrations and other adverse actions, I represented workers who were charged with various infractions by their employers; in many cases, management allegations were documented and fair. BUT IN FAR TOO MANY, ALLEGATIONS WERE ARBITRARY, CAPRICIOUS, and, had the ability to maliciously ruin a wage-earner's life.
Given this information, I DON'T APPRECIATE ONE-LINE PRONOUNCEMENTS that DENIGRATE INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD of SPECIFIC VALIDATION.
What I see in this and other threads are ugly pronouncements with no attempts at validation via specifics … it's nothing new.
"Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favorable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favorable to its own side." (Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf)
Got it?
One has to wonder, if republicans are nazis, why are democrats quoting Hitler as a source? is it because they are the new Nazi party? One a Nazi tells you who they are, believe them!
In your obvious failure to grasp the significance of a meme THAT OBVIATES THE RECURRING EXAMPLES of how one USES AN HISTORICALLY RECOGNIZED and WELL DOCUMENTED NAZI PROPAGANDA PLOY, you again, do nothing to viably defend a rhetorical pronouncement.
And your quote of Maya Angelou (without attribution) is not flattering, but trivial.
I tried George; I have many times herein tried to have a true debate with you but, to no avail.
Peace, happy and health holidays and a happy new year.
Honestly, any one who quotes nazi's isn't high on my list for debate. but that's just my opinion.
Peace, happy and health holidays and a happy new year. to you also. And may your family also be blessed with abundance and good tidings.
