Newt Gingrich: I would ignore supreme court as president

[sofa king]

29. Oh, just like the Nazis?

What an amazing and completely unique coincidence, to be listed alongside the other unique and totally coincidental similarities that Republicans and Nazis have, including:

* nationalism/jingoism;
* support for the rich over the poor and corporations over people;
* use of free air travel through those corporations;
* warmongering and starting wars on false pretenses;
* stealing oil;
* using terrorism to consolidate power and justify the curtailing of civil rights;
* disingenuous diplomacy;
* intimidation at the polls and election theft;
* hostility to social out-groups;
* high rates of homophobia and repressed homosexuality;
* use of the yellow press to project disinformation;
* a preference for warping history to fit one's needs rather than learning from it;
* torture;
* false imprisonment;
* lapel pins;
* Henry Ford and Prescott Bush.

It's lucky for the Republicans that these coincidental similarities don't suggest that modern-day American Republicans are the spiritual and political inheritors of the Nazis. Because if people figured that out, they might never get elected again.

(In the case of Newt's predecessors, the Nazis slid around the German courts by building their own court system within the Nazi Party, and steering all cases through those kangaroo courts instead of real ones. But Newt knows that; that's why he suggested this.)
