Members of Texas Republican party free to associate with Nazi sympathizers

Only reason I’m not okay with bombing Nazis, is I know some decent people who have the misfortune to live next to one.
Well. Maybe that ninja-blade hellfire. (Does that count as a bomb?)
- That's what we've got that new flying ginsu munition for!
  All the precision bombs lack with infinitely more agony for the unfortunate target of basically being slap chopped at terminal velocity.
- The picture is a Lancaster dropping a "blockbuster" bomb in conjunction with incendiary bomblets.
  Wrecking and torching a city is not OK in my book. But I'm less concerned with the health of individual nazis.

You can judge a person by the company they choose to keep.

What about the company they actively invite and elope with?
- elope with
  Alright, I'm gonna be the one to say it: They fuck 'em, Jerry. They fuck 'em.

Meanwhile in Florida, they're banning even the thought of pro-palestinian speech. Idaho even still has laws on the books that allow the wearing of masks in public racist events because of their wide swath of KKK supporters. The world is a fucked up place.

A couple of months back, we had literal nazis on i4 in Florida - and some of them got arrested -- not for being Nazis. But for NOT GETTING PERMITS to hang signs. The left the rest of the Nazis alone on i4 with signs so long as they weren't being hung on the overpass. This shit went on for weeks. I asked a black detective of the Altamonte Springs PD why tf they weren't getting arrested, and he wouldn't answer me.

why tf they weren’t getting arrested
Because being an asshole isn't illegal in America. And you wouldn't want it to be, either.
- Nazis are not only grumpy assholes, they literally want to kill entire groups of people just because of their skin colour or ethnicity. A democracy can‘t tolerate people like that because they themselves are anti-democratic.
- I mean... There are other models? Being a Nazi publically is illegal in a number of countries. America doesn't have restrictions on hate speech but Canada does. Here's how it works here :
  You are totally allowed to express your opinions in private, to other people directly. If you are at my house and call me a slur - still legal. You are a fucking asshole and I am allowed at any time to tell you to leave for any reason and if you refuse to leave my house you are then commiting a completely different arrestable offence.
  But if you take your paint and decide to mark a big swastika on the side of your house or wave a sign with "we should kill ____ people" (for any of the protected categories of people race/sex/sexuality/religion/gender/mental illness etc. ) on an overpass or assemble in a big group white pointy hoods with the express purpose of working yourself up to a genocide. That is illegal.
  It's the aspect of public expression which makes it illegal.
  Americans tend to think that any checks on their freedom of speech is a sudden descent into 1984 but laws like this have quietly existed on our books for the past 30 years.
- Perhaps being a member of a group that committed a series of genocides, was a military enemy of the and US, and is grounded in nothing but conspiacism and pseudoscience that had to be stopped by the combined military force of half the western world should be illegal.
  The main downside of protecting Nazism is genocide - what's the upside?
  Would you defend the rise of ISIS in the US for the same reasons, and if not, why not?
- However, wearing face coverings in Florida for these purposes, IS: https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2011/876.12
  And it hasn't stopped cops from arresting people for being black, etc in the past.
- Florida has laws on the books prohibiting facial coverings at events like these, they were breaking the law.
  https://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2011/876.12
  As with anything, it's easy to find a law they were breaking and arrest them for THAT instead. They do it for their political opponents, but not Nazis.

If you sympathize with Nazi sympathizers, you're probably a Nazi sympathizer.

They'll say they just sympathize with Nazi sympathizer sympathizers. But then they are sympathizing with Nazi sympathizers. And so they are Nazi sympathizers.

If you willingly sit at a table with eleven nazis, there are a dozen nazis at the table.
- This is why we don't do Thanksgiving with the fam anymore

I mean yeah, of course they're free to associate with themselves‽

Texas is so full of cowards now, even Nazis feel at home

What are the differences in policy prescriptions between your average Texan Republican and your average Nazi?

There's not a punchline here.

Well, Texas Republicans hate women, LGBTQ, immigrants, people that look like immigrants, the young (but already born), the old (they're too expensive to keep alive), the educated, leftists/liberals, people that are any religion but Christianity, the poor, and sometimes Jews.
Nazis hate women, LGBTQ, immigrants, people that look like immigrants, the young (but already born), the old (they're too expensive to keep alive), the educated, leftists/liberals, people that follow any religion but Christianity, the poor, and always Jews.
- It's not as overt as the Nazis yet, but there's no shortage of mainstream Jewish dogwhistles that are targets of hate... Soros, Gates, globalist elites, the world economic forum, cultural Marxists, the WHO, Hollywood, the MSM....

If Republicans could not associate with Nazis anymore, they would loose a lot of friends...

Not that surprising nowadays.

Let’s be real, if they banned these associations they couldn’t even talk to each other!

Of course I know them. They're me.

Or themself. Everybody does it, I'm not crazy + alone or either seperately

Personally I don't think banning associating with any group is a good thing. There lies neo-McCarthyism.

Not remotely the issue here. This isn't about banning, this is about not having or having nazi simps influencing a political party. Huge difference between, "can't be a part of our group if you associate", and, "associating with these People is verboten!"
Much like Folks that fly to Moscow on July 4th so they can bend knee to pootie should not be allowed in Congress. Nazis should not be involved in any Political Party which remains relevant. But here we are.
- The crazy thing is a lot of people forget about that July 4th trip by Republicans to kiss Putin's ass in Moscow. So much insane shit happened during Trump's 4 years, it's all so overwhelming. Plenty of traitors in that administration - well before Jan. 6th too.

  Really? Because the article spells out the problem in the second paragraph.
  In a 32-29 vote, the party’s executive committee decided against excluding from their organization those “known to espouse or tolerate antisemitism, pro-Nazi sympathies or Holocaust denial”. A proposal to ban such individuals was included in a resolution supporting Israel as it wars with Hamas in Gaza.
  Am I an antisemite because I think Israel is off the hook currently? Some people think so. Does it make me a Nazi, or as you say a "nazi simp"? I find that idea laughable, but maybe those same people think so. Maybe you do too. Or maybe someone in power a year from now will think so. I have no desire to participate in the Texas Republican party, nor any Republican party, but 100% any such resolution is going to open the door to weaponize those definitions, and the topic at hand is a current-day example.
  And here's another article to back up my perception of measures such as these:

  And by the way - the downvote button isn't intended as a disagree button. If you think I'm wrong, show me how I am.
