A recent neo-Nazi rally in Columbus, Ohio, drew national attention—but it was just one of dozens that increasingly-emboldened white power groups have held this year.

    Wait, I thought Democrats were the real racists? The wingnuts keep telling me that Republicans are the party of Lincoln, yadda yadda.

    Why is it that the Nazis support donvict and his party?

      “Republicans are the party of Lincoln” is the ultimate way to show someone you can, in principle, memorize facts, but critical thinking is not your strong suit.

        this is true, but I also think many of them know the facts and use it to twist the knife - yeah, it’s a bullshit boast, but a plurality of voters aren’t smart enough to get it so fuck you.

        malicious ignorance.

      Lincoln was racist too. (But I hear your point all the same).

      “I can hardly believe that the North and South can live in peace unless we get rid of the Negroes. Certainly they cannot, if we don’t get rid of the Negroes whom we have armed and disciplined and who have fought with us, I believe, to the amount of 150,000 men. I believe it would be better to export them all…”

      He was suggesting, after the war, all black people should be exported out of the country to keep the peace with the south.

      Read Settlers. It was never about doing the right thing, but capitalist interests and fear of slave rebellion that was on Lincoln’s mind.

        Protecting the union was all that mattered.

        That is where D’s have failed and Lincoln succeeded.
