21. You know what? that makes sense

however, the Trump supporters also put people of color into that same grouping.

In 1932 and 1933 there were Jews (Max Naumann) who supported Hitler. This was after the printing and distribution of Mein Kampf. I'm sure that made sense to them at the time, but it certainly didn't turn out to be a very good decision in the long run.

The Association of German National Jews (German: Verband nationaldeutscher Juden) was a German Jewish organization during the Weimar Republic and the early years of Nazi Germany that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler.

It primarily attracted members from the anticommunist middle class, small business owners, self-employed professionals such as physicians and lawyers, national conservatives, and nationalist World War I veterans, many of whom believed that Nazi antisemitism was only a rhetorical tool used to "stir up the masses."[1][2][3]

In 1935, the organization was outlawed, and its founder and leader Max Naumann was imprisoned by the Gestapo.[4] Most other members and their families were murdered in the Holocaust.
