At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening a group of Nazis, who openly identified as national socialists, mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed race science and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

CPAC is definitely a Nazi bar.

A few years back they made the stage in the shape of an odal rune. They’re not even trying very hard to hide it anymore.

They did the same to the bent cross. There’s one on the Baha’i House of Worship in Wilmette, IL. It’s there because the house of worship was designed and dedicated in 1912, so yeah WWI hadn’t quite kicked off at the time

Can we take that rune back? I’m pretty big on family, although the patriotism bit I could probably do without

I’m out of the loop, what does that symbol mean? Not sure how I would look it up without a name or something.

This headline is misleading. It should read CPAC is a nazi organization. Something about dining with nazis.

Are you telling me the group that used a nazi symbol as the shape of their stage is now openly affiliating themselves with nazis?

Quelle surprise!

This year, however, some attendees and former attendees have expressed frustration with the conference’s stronger association with Trump and his wing of the party.

If I was frustrated that Nazis are co-opting my political party, I’m kicking them out or leaving the party that welcomes them.

Anything less, you’re part of a Nazi movement.

Weirdly enough Hitler somewhat co-opted the NAZI party. Riping out any real socialism. Not how that matters here…

Goebels was actually quite put out by Hitler not meeting his socialist dreams, but all was forgiven when he got to propagate massive antisemitism instead

I’m pretty sure Röhm was much more of a socialist.

Goebels was a sycophantic piss baby.

Just because it needs to be pointed out every time. If they were frustrated by fascists/Nazis co-opting the party. They’re 100 years too late.

The father and grandfather of 2 American presidents was implicated. As well as the head of JP Morgan at the time. No one was punished, or called out even. And the history of the incident has largely been completely scrubbed out of existence.

According to Katz, “Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the business plot.”

It’s ok, Prescott wasn’t plotting to overthrow the US with those fringe Nazis, he was too busy working with the real Nazis!
