Nazis mingle openly at CPAC, spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories and finding allies

CPAC is definitely a Nazi bar.
- A few years back they made the stage in the shape of an odal rune. They’re not even trying very hard to hide it anymore.

Oh, you mean this CPAC?
That is not an edited photo.
- Maybe they mean this CPAC

  Wait fuck is that real?

This headline is misleading. It should read CPAC is a nazi organization. Something about dining with nazis.

Are you telling me the group that used a nazi symbol as the shape of their stage is now openly affiliating themselves with nazis?
Quelle surprise!

This year, however, some attendees and former attendees have expressed frustration with the conference’s stronger association with Trump and his wing of the party.
If I was frustrated that Nazis are co-opting my political party, I'm kicking them out or leaving the party that welcomes them.
Anything less, you're part of a Nazi movement.
- Weirdly enough Hitler somewhat co-opted the NAZI party. Riping out any real socialism. Not how that matters here....
  
  Goebels was actually quite put out by Hitler not meeting his socialist dreams, but all was forgiven when he got to propagate massive antisemitism instead
- Just because it needs to be pointed out every time. If they were frustrated by fascists/Nazis co-opting the party. They're 100 years too late.
  The father and grandfather of 2 American presidents was implicated. As well as the head of JP Morgan at the time. No one was punished, or called out even. And the history of the incident has largely been completely scrubbed out of existence.
  
  According to Katz, "Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the business plot."
  It's ok, Prescott wasn't plotting to overthrow the US with those fringe Nazis, he was too busy working with the real Nazis!
- i mean if you look at history, there wete nazi sympathizers and enemies of the nazis.
  A lot of things in this world are grey. this is not one of them.

No that can't be.
Conservatives are always telling us how Nazis were actually left-wing... it's in the name, socialists?!
How quickly they forget, once the racist and antisemitic nonsense circulates.
And if anyone is wondering:
Human rights for Palestinians = not antisemitic
Nazis at CPAC = 100% antisemitic

But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017.
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 so-called “race science” and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
One member of the group, Greg Conte, who attended the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, said that his group showed up to talk to the media. He said that the group was prepared to be ejected if CPAC organizers were tipped off, but that never happened.
Another, Ryan Sanchez, who was previously part of the Nazi “Rise Above Movement,” took photos and videos of himself at the conference with an official badge and touted associations with Fuentes.
Other attendees in Sanchez’s company openly used the N-word.
republiQans: this is you

I heard Paul Gosar shaves his butthole once a year in preparation for this mixer.
- Sounds itchy
  
  What? You don’t condition your butt hair?
  
  The chafe of chafes

How do you spread Nazi rhetoric at CPAC? Sell merch? Because one would think market saturation would already be at 100% for that sort of ideology at an event like that.
- come on now, you can't have enough nazi flags. they find room for it on their jumbo trucks

It’s a gay mixer for young virile Nazi men and politicians

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."
  
  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.
- 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
- They all set aside their differences and appreciate their true goals of enriching themselves through being fascist bootlickers
  
  Absolutely.
- 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.
- 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.
- They bond over their shared love of genocide.
- 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.
- They did nazi this coming.

Does anyone remember this?
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. — who recently went viral for engaging in a contentious exchange with university presidents at a congressional hearing on antisemitism — on Saturday praised the resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill.
"One down. Two to go," Stefanik wrote on X. "This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most ‘prestigious’ higher education institutions in America."
So where the f**k is she now, during CPAC? Is she hiding out or something?

Conservatives and Republicans are synonymous with Russians and Nazis. The CPAC convention is the indisputable proof.

Just republican shit.

So how long until they just go back to being outright silver shirts
- They're there. This is that.
- Hey I just read about those assholes in Rachel Maddow's book!

I mean, that's all CPAC has ever been for.

Wonder how many Nazis Ben Shapiro's going to take selfies with?

Yeah, that's fine. You can't really stop citizens participating in politics just because their political position is prejudice and deranged.
You can only stop their participation when they make violent threats, or otherwise break the law.
Of course I imagine CPAC are a private organisation, so have their own policy/ruling they enforce.
- It's not "fine," because your actions are determined by your beliefs. They're not going to these events simply to share an ideology or philosophy, they're going to gain recruits for an intended purpose.
- You might be able to have any groups found to be affiliated with Nazi beliefs labelled a terrorist organisation, as they're essentially established to spread hate and fear towards Jewish people.
  But without that legal framework adjustment you will probably get arrested if you're caught punching a Nazi.
  So where's the campaign to have these groups defined as terrorist organisations? I would support that.
- But, as you said, it’s a private organization, focused on Conservative Political Action. What’s discussed there should more or less fit the agenda of the Republican Party, I figure if someone goes there and starts preaching socialism they’d get kicked.
  The fact they aren’t kicking Nazis is at the very least admitting they’re not opposed to their ideas, and if we follow the Nazi bar analogy, they agree too.
  
  Agreed, appealing to groups of disgruntled white men along racial and gendered lines is a long standing part of GOP strategy.
  This is not the first time they've been involved with White Nationalist and Supremacist movements. Nor is it accidental.

Omg, who cares about political groups?
- The families of the people killed by them care
- Well, no one ever said geniuses use social media daily.
