GOP. Rep Keith Self quotes Goebbels

Why isn't this a big deal?

“A direct quote from Joseph Goebbels [the Nazi propaganda minister]: ‘It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion,’ and I think that may be what we’re discussing here,"

He also attacked those who think Thoughts and Prayers are not enough to counter mass shooting. Have not seen the Goebbels quote.

I figured that for a long time, America's Nazis were going to keep distancing themselves from the original Nazis. Ya know, continue with the narrative that the Nazis were actually on the Left because they had "big government," silly lies like that. Even the AfD distances themselves from the NSDAP, they pretend the Nazis were Communists.
But it looks like the Right has become so extreme, that now Republicans are able to go mask-off. They can just be like, do you guys know who Joseph Goebbels was? He was a top Nazi. Yeah, we want to do what he did.

No, he's not doing it nearly as well as many of his colleagues, but he's very comfortably set for life, if not in the top 1%, then easily in the top 10%, maybe even the top 5%.

He used to grouse about the "millionaires and billionaires," until some reporter pointed out that Bernie himself was a millionaire.

After that, he only groused about "the billionaire class," which conveniently excluded his Senate colleagues who might only be worth a few hundred million. 🤣

Why cut them? To move investments out of tax shelters and stimulate the economy. It was KENNEDY and JOHNSON who did this.

But you said nobody was paying those taxes anyway. So which is it?

So here's the problem. They've engaged in so much Nazi-like behavior that their own base tunes it out, and anyone pointing it out is viewed as annoying and a snowflake. This is intentional. They have figured out that if they bombard us with enough Nazi quotes and sentiments, the left will be viewed as deranged alarmists when we keep pointing it out. That is the plan. The next step of the plan is to implement actual legislature based on Nazi Germany, and they are counting on the first part of their plan working so well that no one will believe us.

You have oligarchs who run the media and the weapons industry, who also serve in your government. The situation is fascism. The population is responsible.

So, yet another Nazi fan in the GOP?

Why do the Republicans have so many elected officials and candidates who love quoting Nazis?
