At some point, MAGA Republicans really need to ask themselves why they have such yuge neo-Nazi fanbases. MAGA has proven itself to be a MAGA-net for Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members and other assorted white supremacists, and its supposedly non-racist members barely even question it. Instead, many of them claim, with no evidence, of course, that government operatives are posing as white supremacist groups and infiltrating their rallies, protests and campaign events, but it never seems to occur to them how much they sound like KKKindred spirits when they speak about immigrants in the most racist, xenophobic and dehumanizing ways possible, shout “DEI hire” at every Black person in a position of influence or power, and defend the same Confederate flags white supremacists love waving around. Even their beloved great replacement theory is a product of white supremacist theology.
After all, Klan members aren’t showing up to Democratic campaign stops and running for various offices as registered Democrats. Nazis aren’t marching and demonstrating in support of Democratic leaders while waving around bigoted banners that easily reflect Democratic policies. Democrats aren’t declining to seek reelection because they received negative attention after defending the KKK. White nationalist terrorists aren’t getting arrested and turning out to be Kamala Harris supporters once their social media content is investigated. These are uniquely Republican problems.
Anyway, on Sunday, Eric and Lara Trump ran into more Republican problems when neo-Nazi Trump supporters joined their boat parade celebrating their father and father-in-law, Donald Trump, flying swastika flags and banners with modified Nazi slogans while shouting racial slurs and antisemitic epithets.
From MTN:
The group wore skull masks, a favorite of Neo-Nazi to hide their identities. The back of the boat had flag poles flying both swastika and Trump flags. The group’s Trump flags read, “Make America White Again.”
The group yelled out “white power,” “make America white again,” and “heil Trump,” and adaptation of the Nazi phrase “heil Hitler.” The group can also be heard yelling the n-word and mentioning “Jews.”
One member on the boat held up a Mike Lindell My Pillow sign with his controversial $14.88 pricing. 1488 is a white supremacist code that combines a “14 words” statement about securing a white future and “88” which stands for “heil Hitler.”
The image of Lindell was also altered to add an SS Gestapo image onto his lapel. One of the people in the boat was wearing a “Moms for Liberty” shirt.
Notably, neither Eric nor Lara has denounced the Nazis in their company, which, again, they probably felt comfortable joining because their Hitler-esque MAGA messiah is out here claiming Black and Hispanic migrants have “bad genes” that predispose them to commit murder. They’re probably hoping they won’t have to say anything about their discount Gestapo friends because Marjorie Taylor Greene will soon expose them as the feds. (Sure, they were feds — if “fed” is short for “fed-up white people,” or an acronym for “Frustrated European Descendants,” or “Fearmongering Earwax-eating Dumba**es.”)
There’s no conspiracy theory to be formed here that sounds more plausible than the truth: MAGA Republicans attract white supremacists because they share an ideology. It’s really that simple.
