A video which features Ron DeSantis that includes a symbol often associated with neo-Nazi groups has been met with outrage after it was allegedly retweeted by his campaign team.
Why is there even outrage at this point? It’s not a secret these people are Nazis. They’ve barely hidden it. Thankfully, DeSantis has no chance at all.
Don’t get complacent. That was the word about Trump until he won in ‘16.
I was worried about DeSantis at first, but he’s a value brand Trump. He doesn’t get people riled up like Trump does. I’m still worried about Trump though. I drink think he could win again but I didn’t think he’d win in 2016
I don’t think the corporate sponsors of the gop will allow DeSantis. Trump was VERY good for business, DeSantis has shown that he is a threat and can’t play nice.
DeSantis doesn’t get the right riled up, but he is effective in ruining everything intentionally like McConnell. He won’t get the Republicsn nomination till Trump dies, but he will probably be the successor.
He’s effective at ruining everything in Florida, where he has Reublican supermajorities in the legislature to back him up. I’m not convinced he’s actually an effective politician like McConnell.
Holy crap. In other countries people would be arrested for using fascist and nazi imagery. What kind of hell hole is the US becoming?
The proverbial chickens are coming home to roost
Becoming? The only reason why Nazi ideology didn’t take off in America in the 1930s was because American conservatives wanted a home-grown fascism, not that imported shit.
Even so, there was that massive Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden that everyone forgets about. Allen Dulles, who went on to become the head of the CIA when it was formed, is said to have shed real tears when America declared war on Germany.
It was also an American Neo-Nazi who created Holocaust Denialism.
America First was only one such group, the German Abwehr was very active in America.
Father Coughlin had a radio audience of tens of millions and literally read Goebbels’ propaganda over the air. He had his own militia group.
The Silver Legion was another one.
A man named Leon Lewis formed a civilian spy ring that was tracking Nazis in Los Angeles. One of its members even warned congress of a planned attack on the Hercules Powder plant a year before it was blown up (cause still officially unknown).
I think Pearl Harbor is the main reason this stuff was stopped.

Somehow, we’ve fully confused facts for opinions, and now you’re just allowed to say whatever hateful nonsense you want because pearl-clutching centrists don’t believe anyone can make restrictions on speech that couldn’t be abused.
Our first amendment to our constitution gives us protections not to be arrested for unsavory speech. It’s a knife that cuts in every direction. Trump couldn’t just lock up AOC, willynilly, for her trashing of him on the daily.
I guess Rhonda Sandtits is trying really hard to be as equally awful as the orange shitstain that he’s running against
And it’s (thankfully) failing terribly because he has about as much charisma and personality as a potato. Nothing about him seems authentic. It’s like his campaign thought “Hmmm what do Trump supporters like? Nazis and fascism? Yeah let’s run with that.” and it’s clearly not connecting.
It’s like he’s running as a parody of Trump. A cheap generic knockoff. And so far it appears the GOPers want the name brand.
I hate both parties equally, but Republicans are Nazis, fascists, and racist. Democrats are just corporate lobbyists.

Supreme court justices from both parties voted unanimously to kill ethnic reforms. Yea, just the Republicans are corrupt. The house and Senate voted down a ban on stock trading. Yeah, keep up your fangirling for your side.
Ever notice how nothing Democrats do to resist Republican fascism works? That’s by design.
Who won the civil war? Do republicans need to be told again?
Who won the civil war?
The Republicans headed by Abraham Lincoln.
They fought the Democrat southern states who were not happy giving up slavery.
So based on your reply you’re a loser Southern state Democrat who’s still salty about losing your slaves. Something tells me you didn’t vote Biden though… You do realise we know which side is which despite how disingenuous you try to be, you’ll always be a stupid, half-baked, soft in the noggin loser.
You asked which side won and specifically mentioned Republicans. I responded with which side won. Do you deny Republicans won the civil war or did you just not want the answer to the question you asked?
Being intentionally belligerent doesn’t make you intelligent, but the way you avoid my accusation proves it was on point. Typical Conservative, only want to pretend to be a Democrat when it suits you to be disingenuous. What’s wrong, your pathetic Republican party name not worthy of your support? Coward. We both know how you vote.
Misinformation is allowed in this community so that conservatives can pretend that the southern strategy never happened.
Is “wojack” really associated with nazis, or is this another pepe the frog situation?
It was the black sun
That’s the sonnenrad, not the wojack meme.
Yes, I don’t know why the article even mentions the doomer because the neonazi symbol in question is the sonnenrad at the end. It honestly almost comes off as a deliberate misdirection.
I see some people that are suggesting that, while that symbol might be popular with nazies, it is likely too ubiquitous to bo only popular with the nazis. That might be true, but political figures should probably exercise a bit more caution than the average citizen when it comes to these kinds of things, if only for the optics.
On the other hand, it is likely tedious to go through all of the media that passes through a political campaign to ensure that these types of things are caught, even if there are staffers assigned to specifically these types of things.
On the other, other hand, it is probably simpler to just not agree with nazis.
I feel like the symbol is pretty common elsewhere though??
