(36,640 posts)Trump "emboldened" the Nazis
America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.
Yet here they are marching to "take back America".
When did the Nazis have America?
" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."
He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "

In 2016, then-candidate Donald Trump in an interview with Jake Tapper refused to disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who had publicly endorsed his campaign. (Trump later improbably claimed his refusal to disavow Duke was due to a faulty earpiece.) As president, Trump famously insisted there were very fine people on both sides in the 2017 clash between protesters and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. And during his 2020 debate with Joe Biden, Trump repeatedly avoided condemning the white supremacist group Proud Boys, instead telling them to stand back and stand by.,,,,,
On Monday, CNN reported that DeSantis lashed out at those who called on him to condemn Nazi demonstrations that had taken place over the weekend near Orlando, accusing his political opponents of trying to smear me as if I had something to do with it. He insisted he would not be playing their game......
At a time of rising antisemitism and just weeks after another terrorist attack on a synagogue in Texas, DeSantiss reaction is stunning but not surprising. At its most basic level, the MAGA movement has always been about white supremacy. Its members have induced hysteria that foreigners and non-White Americans are taking over the country and marginalizing White Americans. This sentiment was central to Trumps anti-immigrant rhetoric, his sympathy for white militia groups and his fearmongering about Black people moving to White suburbs. It is what drives the efforts to suppress voting.
I agree with Rubin that the MAGA views on white supremacy explains why the MAGA idiots are upset about President Biden wanting to nominate an African American female to replace Justice Breyer.
