      George HW Bush denounced David Duke as an insincere charlatan with a record of nothing but ugly hate, and then he was defeated in his run for a second term by Clinton, a southern Democrat who ran on racist anti immigrant rhetoric. The Republicans have never backed off fierce anti immigrant rhetoric since.

      Half right is better than full nazi.

      But - hey, okay, fine let the GQP attack nazis for being “national socialists” and let’s see what happens. (Spoiler: they’re not going to do that. And only partly because they don’t know what “national socialism” is)

        “My opponents are Nazis for raising my taxes” is not the critique of Nazism you think it is.

          Oh dear my retort was removed for being uncivil.

          tsk tsk. Ah well. Perhaps one of the pre-built and pre-approved response options will prove illuminating.
