Just in your face Nazi and they don't care if we know it...


Graphic mine

On the left is a logo on a T Shirt in the Trump campaign store. On the right is the logo of Nazi Germany. Anyone who buys a T shirt with such a blatant Nazi symbol on it is telling the rest of us that they are Nazi's and that they don't care who knows it. Blatant in your face fuckery from these far right nazi be nazi campaign.

And they're serious, or at least serious enough to use it as an excuse to kill when the call comes. They call us both socialists and fascists and don't care about definitions, just that we're evil.

Btw, an enduring joke (might as well laugh) has been what (among other things), most noisy anti-socialism RWers and noisy pro-socialism LWers have in common: That almost none of them know what socialism really is. That knowledge doesn't suit the passionate narratives of either group.

I know. But our grandparents shrank the extremism that grows in bad times back to normal by creating good times. And we will too.

They think of them as super soldiers and especially seem to put the SS on a platform, focusing strictly on war making abilities and ignoring the atrocities. I wonder what those guys’ grandparents would think of them idealizing nazis.

They're selling a Trump-logo baseball for $88, and a hoodie sweatshirt with Trump 2020 on the front for $88. For those not familiar with Nazi symbols, "88" is a white supremacist numerical code for “Heil Hitler.” Probably just a coincidence.
