    Not a Republican, but none of my friends or family who are are anywhere close to nazi. The fringe doesn’t count for the mass majority of the party.

      if you sit down to dinner with eight people, and one of them is a nazi, then you’re having dinner with eight nazis

        Unless none of them are actually Nazis. Just because you title someone something doesn’t make it true.

          If your family supports Protection 2025 (which is what will happen if Republicans win) they effectively are.

            None of my family supports Project 2025, and funny enough, neither does trump. Very tired of all the gaslighting from my own party.

              If they don’t support Project 2025, then they really shouldn’t vote for the party whos trying to enact it.

                Some people are trying to enact it, not “the party”

                  Don’t be surprised then when it turns out “Some People” speak for all of the others.

          I mean if you ignore the actual photo (spoiler: the one in this post) of Republicans literally carrying Nazi flags…

            It’s Nazis carrying a nazi flag. They are the extreme, not the general conservative population

        In a two party system, that kind of thinking doesn’t work unless you actually believe that half of the country are nazis. Also anyone who supports Palestine but is planning to vote for Biden has no room for making that kind of argument.

          You might have had a point before Project 2025 and SCOTUS legalizing dictatorship to protect the brass bullshitter.

        A liberal who saw a way to win through the Republican party?
