GOP Politicians, Commentators Mainstreaming Nazi Ideology

Some Republicans Sound a lot like 1930s German Fascists

In the early years of the Obama presidency, I penned a column stating the Republican Party would eventually split. The sane, more moderate Republicans would realize that with the country’s changing demographics they would have to tone down the white supremacy and start appealing to minority voters.

I also suggested a faction of the party would break away and form an explicitly white nationalist party. I said this because I had been reading stories about CPAC, an annual political convention for conservatives. Some of the white nationalists and neo-confederates in attendance were demanding the GOP become the “white party.”

However, for a while the GOP tried to embrace inclusivity. At the 2012 Republican National Convention, Sen. Lindsay Graham stated the party could no longer win national elections because “The demographics race we’re losing badly … [Republicans are] not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”
