Those guys were not your "usual" RWNJobs.

They were followers of Lyndon LaRouche.

Quick summary of LaRouche's activities, according to his Wikipedia page (linked below):

LaRouche had started out in the 1950s on the far-left as a Trotskyist, but by the 70s morphed into an extreme right-wingnut with a cult following of a "few thousand" people.

He was convicted of fraud, spent a few years in prison.

He started "political parties," such as the U.S. Labor Party

He ran for president many times.

He had his own "intelligence network."

He assumed room temperature, as Rush Limbo used to say, in 2019, aged 96.

For much, much more about this particular wacko, here's a link to his Wiki page:

When in reality, every single Trumptard is a FUCKING IMBECILE.

You have to be really, really, REALLY STUPID to not know the difference between socialism, communism, and ACTUAL FASCISM.

These people are evil fucking morons. Stupidity beyond belief:

I don't want to destroy society but I like to challenge many accepted mores and habits that are rarely challenged.

These sad fucks who called PBO a nazi have not idea of which they speak. No fucking clue whatsoever. To them 'nazi' is an insult hurled at anyone they disagee with because it's the worst thing possible.

Much like the right's way of denigrating lefties by calling them pedophiles. They manufacture a crime that is beyond the pale; one that cannot be defended in any way and aim it at left wingers. In the middle ages it was heretics and a painful death by burning. That, in effect, is what right wingers would like to do to lefties in these times. Except they would never get away with a public burning, so they need to invent their own right wing hell.

There's nothing they are doing that hasn't been done before by rigid, RW authoritarians, scared that a convivial. informal relationship between their winged minions and the far more accepting lefties, may evenutally produce a degree of agreement and acceptance.

Strangely, I'm not totally opposted to wearing nazi regalia for a denigratory reason, such as a bad taste party or similar. I believe it's symbology should be studied, remembered, analysed for it's graphic properties (red, black, bold lines and shapes) and those lessons applied to stopping those who wish to appeal to the same cruel, exclusionary practices.

Built in the 1920s and the floor in the lobby had swastikas in the corner tiles. The manager had been there for a good long while and I asked her if there was any blowback during World War II and after about the lobby. She said that they covered the floor with a giant carpet during that time but when it got pretty ratty in the 60’s, they pulled it up and just left the tile as it was.

I thought it was a little tacky myself back in the 70s, now I would be really angry.

I have an antique gas heater with a swastika on the gas valve, probably dating back before the first World War.

Presumably it offered a little extra luck that the gas valve wouldn't leak.

These people lack any reason or logic capabilities. They are told what to think by the RW sources that they absorb, whether it's Fox, OAN, AM Radio or whatever the source comes from.




It's called indoctrination. Yes, sometimes the RW sources changes the narrative and so the indoctrinated doesn't notice since they lack these very reason and logic capabilities.
