Was I the only one chilled to the bone by the Neo-Nazis/white supremacist march in VA ?

Holy shite, what they did was a page right out of 1933 Germany, complete with torches and "Blood and Soil". Just chilled me to the bone. Scared me! We have to put these people back under their rock again, forever. Sadly, there will always be these types in our country, just as they are in Germany still, 71 years later.

1. More chilling is that the GOP has embraced them

Trump emboldened this group and he is their leader, but the whole Republican Party had embraced hate as a party platform. The GOP has got to go, it is evil to the core now.

3. Why are folks shocked, when the White Supremacist in Charge has Neo-Nazis in the WH?

4. if you have any knowledge whatsoever of Nazi history....

and I am a WW2 history buff, that march was a huge slap in the face and wake-up call. I already knew the whole gang was Neo-Nazi, but this really really really got to me for some reason.

5. Why would you need history?

when Trump has been front and center all during the campaign, like did folks really miss the 5yrs+ of his birther racism?

6. We are on the same page....

This was just more extreme and more overt. I have always known they were there. Many voters have no clue, especially the Trump bunch. Or they don't care, or they LIKE it.

9. Agree....

7. Yep. So scary.

8. take away the nazi flags and the uniforms and voila......

Blood and Soil

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_and_Soil

Blood and Soil (German: Blut und Boden) refers to a racist ideology that focuses on ethnicity based on two factors, descent blood (of a folk) and territory. It celebrates the relationship of a people to the land they occupy and cultivate, and it places a high value on the virtues of rural living.



NAZIS.... Hitler/fascist salute, yep, NAZIS
