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.

So there's definitely a Zionist wing of the party. What's gonna happen when they come into contact with the Nazi wing of the party?

A lot of the support of Israel is not because they like Jews but rather because many evangelicals believe supporting them will hasten the apocalypse.

A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted in United States found that 80% of evangelical Christians believed that the creation of Israel in 1948 was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that would bring about Christ's return and more than 50% of Evangelical Christians believed that they support Israel because it is important for fulfilling the prophecy.

Also, shipping the Jews off to Israel means they're away from here. Zionism could be restated as "Jewish removal."

Exactly. They don’t like when some of us say that Jews belong in our communities alongside us non-Jews. When we encourage people to celebrate their presence as an important part of our community and culture

Goddamn we are a bonkers species. Really gives credence to the idea of memetic evolution, at least to me

This is the increasingly stupid part. The fuck are they gonna do when Christ gets back? He's a straight up communist, they have no use for him. Hmm... I wonder.

They imagine him as supply side Jesus, and they don't really care about accuracy. Evangelical leaders say they are rejecting the teachings of Jesus from the source material, calling it, "weak," and, "liberal."

It seems like a lot of Nazis tend to make common cause with Zionists. Remember that the first plan the Nazis had was to deport all the Jews, so having them all in one place is fine by them.

Ethno-nationalists gonna ethno-nationalist

A lot of racists don't think they're racist because they don't hate "others", they just think they belong in their own place. They're angry that the "others" are where they are.

They're still raging pieces of shit. I'm just sharing some of their thoughts. Being a white drunk in Texas gives me the opportunity to hear all kinds of dumb shit.

Relevant username, and can confirm.

[–] fluxion 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They all set aside their differences and appreciate their true goals of enriching themselves through being fascist bootlickers

The Zionist wing of the Republican party doesn't care at all about Jews. They're Christian fundamentalists who believe that the Jews need to control the holy land so that Jesus can come back and end the world. They only want the Jews in Israel long enough to fulfill that purpose, then they want them to be wiped out and go to hell.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

They’re the same wing. They believe that the current Jewish state isn’t Jewish enough and that the true Judaism is actually Christianity.

I wish I was kidding, but I actually know people that fall into this camp.

[–] Ensign_Crab 5 points 6 months ago

They bond over their shared love of genocide.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

They did nazi this coming.

[–] Linkerbaan 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Zionists tell Jews to get out of America and go fight brown people in the middle east.

Being a Nazi and trying to get Jews to emigrate go hand in hand.

One 1937 Nazi plan was to send all the Jews to Madagascar.

Yeah that worked great with Liberia.
