These people are more satisfied venting their racial hatred and displacing their economic insecurity with a fetish for guns than thinking for themselves instead of identifying with the needs of billionaires and multi millionaires who exploit them. I don't hate these people, but they are dangerous and must be opposed as fiercely as the old segregationists and pro slavery citizens were. Ignorance is as dangerous as overt evil.
Republicans appear normal but embrace policies that would harm themselves and the country. Go to youtube and find clips of all the thousands of Germans saluting and cheering a lunatic like Adolph Hitler and supported murdering six million Jews across Europe. These were also normal appearing people facing hard times economically and feeling deflated over their defeat in World War I, and what they considered humiliating terms of surrender. These were well educated citizens supporting the genocide of Jews who were loyal, legal and successful, German citizens.

Dupes of, miscreants Republicans and card carrying Republicans have been instructed to say Obama's 2009 stimulus was a trillion dollars of spending. In fact, the stimulus was $787 billion of spending and tax cuts. Tax cuts amounted to $288 billion, leaving $499 billion in spending. Can't we all agree $501 billion is a BIG amount? This is proof positive the Republican party is an incarnation of the Nazi party. Adolf Hitler was an expert in the BIG lie. The Republican party and its dupes have been espousing Nazi ideology. What is so hard to understand about that?
Republicans are like the Nazis. They came for the communists and I did not speak out... They came for the socialists and I did not speak out... They came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out... They came for the Jews and I did not speak out... And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. People must remember that Hitler and his National Socialist Party were democratically elected, by Germans who were suffering from a disastrous economy who were vulnerable to Big Lie manipulation. I think the radical GOP is fueled by a dangerous mix of racism, homophobia, hatred for the poor and vulnerable, women's reproductive freedom and war mongering that is to me dangerously close to 1936.
Let's say you were a US Marine on Iwo Jima or Okinawa with the prospect of invading Japan in a few months. Would you want your president to be concerned with freedom in Poland or would you rather have the Red Army pin down several million Japanese soldiers in the Far East? Who knew if the A-bombs would work as well as they did. We could have dropped some, and the Japanese could say, "Is that all you got." Let's not forget that Nazi Germany did not surrender until a Soviet T-34 was on top of Hitler's bunker in Berlin. If you were alive in 1944, who would you have thought were the bigger fanatics, the Germans or the Japanese?
Here's another Neo-Con Republican myth about the Yalta Agreement in 1945. They say, "The USA paid a price for Yalta. Millions in Eastern Europe paid a price for Yalta." FDR went to Yalta in February, 1945 and Truman went to Potsdam in July, 1945 with one goal in mind; it was to get the USSR into the war against Japan as fast as possible.
