    I was with you until last half of the last sentence.

    Racist, sure. “proto-nazi”? Who and why? One example would be great, I don’t understand the connection.

      Without having to click links it’s basically this; Hitler had a Hardon for American Exceptionalism and shit, Nazis are based on American ideas just taken to the extreme.

      So hence proto as in precursor to the Nazis.

        Thanks for the description! When I think ‘founding fathers’ I’m thinking of the literal dudes who wrote and signed the US constitution and the Bill of Rights.

        I didn’t see any connections for the term to that time period in American history.

          You mean the guys that literally genocided native peoples? That wrote into the constitution that black people were worth less? That only rich land-owning people should be allowed representation?..
