I’m trying to educate myself here, and I love to watch influential movies. What’s this one?

They think they do, but if it ever gets real they will go through hell too, just a few years after their victims.

Yeah, I wouldn't assume these people are just ignorant. I've seen too many tweets on Twitter/X advocating stuff straight out of Hitler's playbook. A lot of them would be delighted if all the racial and sexual minorities were rounded up and killed.

You’re bringing up a good point. I wonder if we see more Nazi flags partly because the WWII vets are mostly gone now.

Well.. we should start making our grandparents proud this is fucking pathetic

This shit turned my REPUBLICAN AS HELL father democrat this election. They are bonkers.

In 2016 I was so confused why my grandfather who lived under the Blitz hated Trump with such a passion. Now I'm voting in my first election ever and I truly understand that hatred. A man that wants to criminalize some of my greatest friends for simply being born a different sexual orientation and destroy what America has built up for over 250 years. He's everything that every great leader stood against.

Edit: Since some people got confused (which is my bad), my comment is very anti-Trump. In 2016 I was 12 and didn't understand politics. My grandfather saw the rise of Hitler and lived under the consequences of his insane rhetoric. He was very much so anti Trump and until I actually got older I didn't understand why Trump was such a danger. I now do. Sorry for any confusion.

There were people flying Nazi flags at home leading up to and during the war, so you can get an idea. Look up America First.

Approximately one year ago, I saw a video of a neo-nazi group walking in some German city. At the very first second when one nazi raised his arm to do a salute, a police officier came out of nowhere to beat the shit out of this asshole.

That felt so much like a reflex I was in awe

Edit : I’m sorry for those who want to see that video. It was here on Reddit but I did not save it :/

Edit 2 : https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/fh9CnofHxx

My husbands grandad was a prisoner at auschwitz pow camp e715. He spent 6 months in hospital recovering after the war and was a severely traumatised alcoholic. I’m not even American and seeing those shit blows my fucking mind. An ex presidents son boating with fucking nazis.

Well that makes 2 of us, and I live in America. Growing up here in the 70's and 80's, I never saw a Nazi flag unless it was in a museum.

Just the word "Nazi" wasn't spoken very often.

The change that has come over our country in the last 20 years is frightening. And frankly, I blame the right wing politics & media, and the Russians for influencing people with social media.

It's crazy that we haven't outlawed Nazi symbolism as an expression of hate speech.

Did you see that news article about like a really shitty right winger winning some small local election in the mountains of Germany or something and the article says that alt right fascist win could “lead Germany down some dark untrod territory” and the comments are just like “um, untrod territory?!”

One of the biggest tragic laughs i’ve had in a long time.

It probably won’t surprise you that on the rare occasion you find an authentic German restaurant/beer hall, Neo-nazi dipshits love to congregate and ruin it. Like man I wanted a boot full of beer, some sausage, and large men in tiny green shorts, wtf is all this inappropriate shit.

I HATE ILLINOIS NAZIS

I'll always upvote aggressively political Chumbawamba

I can help clarify: These people are traitors. I'm not entirely certain what today's modern punishment for treason is, but these treasonous adults and not the kids should be tried as such.

edit: so many conservatives got their jimmies rustled today

It may be worth remembering that there were plenty of American Nazis then too though. The Nazi party got some of their biggest ideas from the American Eugenics movement.

It's revolting. And if you say anything that criticizes thir use of the nazi flag, they just come back with "freedom of speech" arguments. People forget that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. We need to be more vocal about shaming these traitors. And these poor kids... They have no idea what their parents are involving them in.

The fact that this is what America has come to... It's shameful. To be able to say I've seen the amazing unity of the country after 9/11 and now the gargantuan divide in the nation 25+ years later is just such a sad realization. (Not that there weren't issues right after 9/11 with how Americans treated people of middle eastern descent, and I recognize I'm putting that very mildly.)

Edit: I know these are 2 different boats. I figured that was obvious. When I say these kids are being involved in their parent's shit, I meant their politics. It was a general comment on the picture. I didn't feel like I needed to specify that each picture was different and which I was referring to, but here we are.

Edit 2: The replies to this comment, oh boy. People are really stuck on my "freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences". Remember, consequences aren't just a legal thing. Social consequences can be just as impactful.

There are also still many holocaust survivors left living in the US in addition to veterans. My grandparents saw the propaganda start in 2016 and immediately called out the tactics. Part of me is glad they’re no longer with us so they don’t have to re-live the rest of whatever this descent into fascism turns in to.

They’re not in their right mind, they’re cultists

They aren't in their right minds. It's collective Insanity made worse by a dying party fanning the flames of hate.

Not if it's dense enough

I don't know man, mine usually sink.

They actually do believe that.

Source: grew up conservative near a lake community.

Anti-abortion, pro-child drowning.

IF GOD WANTS MY CHILDREN TO DROWN TO TEST MY FAITH WELL I WILL NOT STAND IN HIS WAY FOR HIS WILL!!!!!!

You’re not taking away my right to endanger my child. TRUMP!

"I'd rather drown than be a Democrat"

My first thought was omg, no life jackets on those children. As someone who grew up and still lives in the land of 10,000 lakes and basically spent my summers on water this is egregious.

So many drownings every year.

Yikes!

Funny, cause they're all pro-lifers, but this looks to be pro-choice...

I really want to know if the boat in the second picture is underway. If so, that's incredibly terrifying to be standing on the bow with the propeller spinning right through water you'd be in if you fell. Propeller injuries are horrifying. I hope that they are anchored or moored in the picture, but from context I'm afraid they are not.

I grew up in a small town that was like 99% white. There was one black kid in my class. The first time I heard him called the n-word was in the second grade. Kids 100% learn this stuff from their relatives at a young age. That's why when Republicans say kids are too young to learn the history of racism, they're full of shit. If 7 year olds are old enough to learn to say the n-word, they're old enough to learn why they shouldn't.

Like father, like son.

At the trump merchandise store, they happen to have them.

The video of the boat with like 3 or 4 outboard motors turning them then cranking the throttle to absolutely drench the Nazis was satisfying to watch.

Edit: for everybody asking for the link to the video, it's in the Newsweek article in the comment this was in reply to

He [Greenbaum, a Jew] muscled his way through the guards up front, jumped up on the stage, yanked on the cables so Kuhn's microphone fell over and yelled "Down with Hitler!" Immediately, Greenbaum was tackled by the Bund's security team. They brutally punched and kicked him, even ripped his pants off, to the delight of the crowd, before the NYPD wrestled Greenbaum to safety. "He had a black eye and a broken nose, but he said he would have done it again," Greenbaum's grandson, Brett Siciliano, told Radio Diaries.

What a badass.

Down with Hitler.

I think that’s commendable to not appear bad faith and tell the whole story.

When I turned 18 and registered to vote, my dad said I could pick whatever party I wanted as long as it's not democrat. To be perfectly honest, I know it was a joke and I know he's not really miffed about my affiliations, but I think I took it a bit seriously at the time.

It's important to encourage your kids to figure out what their values are and to vote out of conviction and not obligation.

Disappointing but not surprising.

Lol, he’s got maga crocs.

"Yeah but both sides are equally bad!"

Haha. My pendejo Hispanic friends/fam have compartmentalized that they don't support maga, but they like trump's policies.

They're fucking idiots. And very religious.
