2. Copperheads.

During the Civil War, abolitionists and their friends knew that some northerners were slavery sympathizers. These people were called copperheads, and I believe they had a custom of sporting a penny with the face (not Lincoln's face at that point) as a sign to each other. Freedom-loving northerners called them copperheads with an intentional double-entendre reference to the poisonous snakes called copperheads.

3. 20% at least.

Most polls show that a majority of Republican partisans believe in the same things the neo-nazis do.
Therefore, the Republican Party is a Nazi Party.

4. unfortunately true

and these racists have no real idea what racism actually is.

and the scary thing is that alot of the "younger generation" of racists are basically recruited the same way isis soldiers are. cults target the weak minded and the impressionable.

How many fascists did Hitler have? Not that many. Not even close. And look at all the trouble for the world he was able to cause.
