- Nothing outrageous is being proposed.

"Ned Richardson-Little, a historian at the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Potsdam, said that while they were historically different parties, the AfD did share with the Nazis "a focus on recapturing a mythical lost glory of the German nation" while scapegoating minorities and railing against elites.

Germany's weak economy together with anxiety over immigration and war in Europe has tainted voters' view of mainstream parties, helping the AfD's standings in the polls."

Why do people who rail against elites support elites like Musk?

Or Leo Leonard or Peter Theil. Or Donald Trump, whom Musk recently purchased.

Remember what Mussolini said about Fascism.

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power"

Can there be any doubt that Elon is a Nazi? By close extension, can there be any doubt that Donald is a Nazi?

Nazis cannot help but behave in certain ways. There will be a persecution and there will be a repression-and yes, a war-unless those many millions of us who hold Nazis in contempt don't fight these priveledged animals every stap of the way/

And, of course, Trump and Musk are both denying that that party is fascist.
And then they said Hitler was a communist.

Why on earth would the world's richest man lie through his teeth, other than because he has his sights set on looting the American treasury.

And then they said Hitler was a communist.

But the party said socialist!

Trump and Musk cannot think.
