Yuuup. I’m waiting for they stop pretending they’re not following the Hitler playbook.
Giving credit to others is not part of their modus operandi.
They’d spin it somehow I guess how they’ve been doing it. You’re probably right. They might not credit the man but they are gladly accepting the playbook.
Pretty sure you could have stopped waiting back when they put up concentration camps
I was listening to NPR this morning and they had a guy from Newyork who was taken to a concentration camp in Louisiana. He wrote a book about it.

And that's taking the connection to Roman Empire out of the equation
The DOD eagle is very close to the shape used, just with a slight swoop to the top of the wings.
Sometimes the wings have been pretty straight.
Both of those were taken from .mil pages. The major difference is in the straight horizontal feathers, which does match the Reichsadler.
It's questionable, but I don't think this is a slam dunk you take to your Fox News parents
If only they'd done any other deliberately Nazi-esque things you could include to prove a pattern of behavior.
Fox News parents are already gone lol
i mean. the fox news parents are already probably nazis anyway.
Or so twisted they'll not be able to get out without professional help. It's pretty culty and people spend their lives getting over that stuff.
There's a pretty common thread of thought that they are ushering in the apocalypse, or in it already or something. That thought process takes a lot of work to prop up and nurture and a lot of that is internal. Who knows what that crash out will look like.
All the Nazi stuff is pretty concerning, but I believe that's more of an issue for military aged men than anyone else and society already has a way to deal with that.
If I had a hindu swastika outside a temple and wanted "do a modern redesign" I'd definitely avoid rotating it by 45 degrees, removing the inner circles, and choosing a red, black, and white color pallet.
If I happen to do that by mistake. I'd definitely absolutely understand when someone pointed out that my "modern design" just suspiciously made it look MORE like a Nazi symbol. Which would clearly be the opposite intention behind a symbol that already has a similar look.
Point being. If we have imagery or symbols from the past that are similar to a white supremacist genocidal state and we were doing a "redesign" there is no possible way a well intention person could accidentally make it "more Nazi looking".
It's on purpose. It's not gonna help your fox news parents. True. But anyone with a brain can understand what is being done here.
Agree. It's even right there on the flag two feet away, which they've been using since 1949.
Isn't this the stage that also says, "WE ARE ALL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS" above the stage and Viktor Orban spoke? Or was that ANOTHER RNC?
The very same one.
Other than the guy standing in front of it, pretty well a duplicate
He had to block the swastika, they're not fully "out" Nazis yet.
The dude with a swastika tattoo who's in charge of a fascist regime's military and just launched the new Reichsministerium für die Kirchliche Angelegenheiten had a logo redesigned to look like the Nazi eagle
...and someone thinks this is a coincidence?
You mean aside from the blatantly obvious Nazi uniforms for Space Force?
And the recent Iowa repubs convention literally show hitler speeches?
Did they rename space farce?
There's no olive branch.
That's sort of disturbing itself given the symbology of an olive branch.
Also, why did they change it from 13 stars (from the original colonies I think) to 5? Nazis are VERY image based people (so much so they would probably get classified as a personality disorder thinking about it, self-harm, cognitive dissonance, splitting) so they mean everything they show.

I'm Irish and I've hated the American war machine my whole life.
I was comparing Bush to Hitler twenty years ago and calling your soldiers Nazis ever since.
Sad to see it come this far, and with such popularity.
The world is truly broken and there are dark, dark times on the horizon.

On purpose Nazi is Hegseth and MAGAs thing though
The US Government has a history of letting fascists in America get away with attempting to take over the country. They wait a few decades and then give it another shot, learning how to do it better each time.
If we don't put these people in prison for serious time, we will have them at it again soon and they'll be even stronger.

Guys, please don't get distracted. Don't spend your energy on the is-it-nazi-or-not game. Focus on affordability, inflation, corruption and security. You have five weeks and you're up against a gang of professional trolls. Don't let them decide what gets discussed.

Long before this he was showing signs.
Hail hydra i guess, issue is only the dumbest heads remain.
People need to wake the fuck up and open their fucking eyes NOW.
They won't. Elon Musk did a sieg heil and no one even blinked. The ADL even defended him.
I will be very enthusiastically elated if that happens

He just needed fElon there in the audience throwing his heart out to him to really sell how un-nazi like he is.
Y'all Nazis don't get to monopolize eagles.
Especially since the Nazis stole our eagle first.
The Romans would like a word.
Don't you mean the Persians, whom the Romans stole it from?
Not sure this is surprising given how ultra-nationalist both the 3rd Reich and Magats are.
We already have camps, if Democrats don't win midterms they will start sending transpeople to them.
