Republicans are definitely not beating the allegations that they are the party of racists. I mean, that’s common knowledge now.

Don’t call them Nazis though. They pretend to get all worked up about that.

Are they being imprisoned? One has the right to make the gestures, they do not reserve the right to be free of consequences of making said gestures. I don’t get why that is such a hard concept for them to understand.

Is this the point where we as a society recognise the paradox of tolerance (when it comes to free speech)? I think we’re stuck in a big way.

Silly University, it’s only anti-semitism if it’s in defense of Muslims. Otherwise, it’s free speech. /s

The Republican Party does not have an ever-growing neo-Nazi faction. They are just becoming increasingly comfortable going mask off. The rot was always there. At least since the Southern Strategy worked back during the civil rights era.

Current Republican white nationalists are the children and grandchildren of the same people who needed separate water fountains and public bathrooms.

Oh sorry – that was the “my heart goes out to you” gesture, totally NOT a sieg heil

Calling it a ‘faction’ is certainly charitable.
That ‘faction’ just happens to include every remaining member of the cult.

No, the Republican party does not “Have an ever-growing neo-Nazi faction.” The republican party *is* an ever-growing neo-nazi party.

The current Republican Party is a neo-Nazi Party. They have a few factions that are more Nazi or less Nazi, but at this point the average elected Republican is a neo-Nazi.

I dont think it ahould be illegal, but I do think that you should be allowed to kick them straight in the balls – at least 7 times – without consequence if they perform it.

the loony MAGAs are being replaced with flatout Nazi fucks. Lunatics like MTG & such were not leaving out of some moral choice.

Once Trump is gone and JD Vance gets trounced in 28, this will be the leading faction in the Republican party. They’re going to say Trump and Vance softened too much. Pulling out of Minneapolis was viewed as weakness, these guys wanted trump to bomb it.

Nazis are evil because they committed genocide.
Israel is currently commiting a genocide, what does that make them?

I’m confused it’s not illegal to be a Nazi. If you don’t like how people react to you being a Nazi then that’s a you problem.

George Bush’s grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

Pro-Palestine sentiment is Antisemitism that must be stopped. Nazi salutes are free speech. People are dumb enough to believe both of these things and keep voting red. I hate this country.

The Republicans have had a nazi link since at least the 1930’s.

>However, the chapter is being represented in court by Anthony Sabatini, who claims that the university is targeting the chapter for hosting longshot Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback on March 11, [*The New Republic* reported](https://newrepublic.com/post/207877/college-republicans-sues-university-florida-nazi-salute).
>Fishback, who opposes LGBTQ+ rights, has referred to his Black political opponent, U.S. Rep. Byron Daniels (R-FL), as a “slave” and claimed he wants to turn Florida into a “ghetto.” Fishback has also praised fans of white supremacist influencer [Nick Fuentes](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/11/tucker-carlson-says-he-can-coddle-neo-on-his-show-because-youre-not-the-boss-of-him/) as “incredibly informed and insightful and very patriotic.”

It’s not growing republicans are neo Nazis
I’m confused. I thought they were trying to crack down on antisemitism.
They already have that right. The 1st amendment gives it to them. The government can’t charge them for it.
What they want is protections from social repercussions when they do it.
Don’t worry guys, Trump is going to swoop in and put an end to their anti-Semitism any minute now…
Musk U.
Good. It’ll go well with future elections to make Republicans feel safe enough to actually walk around doing Nazi salutes on stage at RNCs and shit.
When your enemy is making mistakes you don’t stop them. Let em show themselves to the world
wtf
The neo-Nazi Party has an ever-shrinking Republican faction.
