They normally keep it undercover though. They love the idea of Israel and Jerusalem but lots of them hate the people that inhabit those places.

Kinda like how they claim to be pro-life while cutting off food assistance and medical care for poor kids, you know?

That's how Dump and his cult 'love' Israel.

historically, and they're definitely not Evangelicals

Those are separate groups and, loathsome as they are, Nazis are still a fringe group with nowhere near the political power of the Christian Right.

With Hitler's approval, Himmler, Rosenberg and Bormann actually wanted to purge Germany of Christianity and replace it with the old Teutonic paganism, which the SS actually did.

That's a minor point, though. I believe the Nazis were very religious in the sense they were led to believe the state is God, and that they had one state, one people and one Fuehrer. This was the so-called 'Fuehrerprinzip,' which, along with the sacred oaths the officer corps was required to swear to Adolf Hitler, I strongly believe constituted a 'religion.'

Not to lecture, but according to at least one professor of religious studies, the Klan, and most white nationalist groups are firmly rooted in Christianity. It isn't the same Christianity, though, as that espoused by the mainstream. But Christianity it is, nevertheless - cherry picked to represent the whites as the victims of genocide and oppression. Basically, these people have declared themselves the victims, which is what blows me away.

It's worth remembering Point 24 of their Programme when discussing their views on religion, particularly "The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not commit itself to any particular denomination." Hitler and Drexler between them do have some authority on the subject of what the Nazis stood for.

But yes, the Fuhrerprinzip is a huge qualifier as anything could change at any moment for any reason.

Converting the Jews to Christianity and the destruction of Israel are two of the things that have to happen to get Jesus to come back and destroy the world. You read correctly: they want Kesus to return to Earth, kill everyone and lay waste to all man’s creations, take the righteous to Heaven, and send all the non-Christians to Hell.

bus for short term gain.

Should we be like Nikki Haley and make a list of foreign leaders, but a list of those who have sucked up to Trump.

One benefit of having a true "establishment" would be if such an entity could send out a general statement to the rest of the world that says, "We may occasionally elect abominable jerks as president but their don't use that as an opportunity to collude with such a jerk to undermine our democracy before we get to throw the the abominable jerk out.

SPOT: "We Just Love Kissing Trumpy's Butt" (Montage of politicians (both real and actors) overly-praising Rump. Includes the catchy tune of the title.) 0:30

SPOT: "Trump Is Better Than Jesus" (Similar to the previous, but with a fundamentalist slant, including references to John Lennon when he made his unfortunate comment.) 0:30

SPOT: "Thank You, President Trump" (Acted, montage of people being evicted from their homes, Rump tossing paper towels to the people of Puerto Rico and delivering Play-Doh to the residents of Louisiana, people dumpster diving intercut with images of large sacks of money being handed out to wealthy people, etc.) 0:30

SPOT: "Trump: Best Leader on Earth" (Clips of other world leaders giving speeches and talks, intercut with clips of Rump taken at his rallies.) 0:30

I recommend Internet distribution. Production costs would be cheaper, and there might be a problem finding a network willing to air them.
