Goose step her ass out of Congress and into jail.

Nazis (and all other white supremacist orgs) are literal terrorists and would support fascism in government. That alone should be enough shut down any support for or from them in politics.

Punching a nazi is just preemptive self defense.

Punch a Nazi - every time, and keep punching.

As an American and New Yorker I can tell you that the German American Bund did not just magically disappear when the Nazis became enemies in WWII. They went into hiding and have been multiplying in the woodwork. Nazis are inherently intolerant, so they do not meet the social contract of mutual tolerance. Toss out all Nazis.
ErniesWidow
My husband was always flummoxed that Japanese Americans were put into American Camps, and Germans Nazis were running allover New York City.

Nazi's do not abide by the social Tolerance Contract so we do not have to be tolerant of them. the Contract replaces the Tolerance Paradox that allows the Intolerant to destroy the Tolerant.

Tolerating intolerance invites oppression.

I love how she literally had to say at the start "I don't actually want you to answer me though because then I'll be wrong"
Dinwiddie
I think she meant to be offering the option for the chair or anyone else present to answer her disingenuous question.
georgedragonslayer
The actual Nazis put in laws that made what they did (genocide) legal. So, technically true. But wow, does that take some mental gymnastics and straight up denial.
jj86
Just because Jeffrey Dahmer killed and ate a couple people in the past doesn't mean he's going to do it again. We should give him a chance.
SomeDetroitGuy
When the only defense of your actions is "Well, it's not illegal" then you fucking know it's completely immoral.
Orangeracecar
Yup, the standard requested is whether something is punishable by law. Not whether something is just, moral, or wise.
WillLickNudibranchsForBUzz
Two different things, unfortunately. And in this short clip, taken out of context, it could serm she is advocating for making nazism illegal. Only the comments let me know otherwise.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
Yikes America. Yikes.
MAN9000
It's not just America. Canada, England, Australia and much of Europe is struggling with Nazis and many other countries are struggling with authoritarian dictatorships.

I concur. Fucking Yikes

We, the reasonable majority, held in a stranglehold by these Nazi fucks, beg for help
BenderSaysNeat
I would argue that the very existence of Nazis is an infringement on everyone else's rights.
killbillsexwife
Like unfettered gun ownership
MCNewYorkLives
It infringes on my right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, especially since it's technically illegal to beat the Nazi (which would fill me with tons of happiness)
SupernaturalReactions
Adhering to, or simply defending, Nazis is an inherently violent act, as Nazism is supportive of wholesale genocide of anyone you deem different than your ideal.
As a result, an violent act upon a Nazi is never unprovoked and us always an act of either self-defense or the defense of others.
It is always ethically right to punch a Nazi.
DAAHOOVAA
It should be noted that the Nazi's did change existing laws and wrote new ones to make the horrible things they did 'legal'. Watch "Conspiracy" on MAX. Bone-chilling stuff.
DougTheLlama
I thought that was going to be her point. Then she went to "how do they infringe people's rights" and I got that bile in my mouth feeling
Burke616
Worth noting that slavery as practiced in the United States was entirely legal. "Legal" does not mean "morally right."
browsererror
It was really the strongest example of Lawful Evil we have in the last century and yet people still defend it.

Some congressmen and senators defended Nazis in the late 30s too. They insisted at the time there was no harm in what they did.

Ultra podcast from Rachel Maddow if you want an audio series about how the 30s were. Well researched and presented, though kinda depressing
ErniesWidow
I be Rachel Maddow was a fabulous teacher. I would have liked to have taken one of her classes.
maxthemagician
No she's right. If you have no moral values, the nazis did absolutely nothing wrong.
breadedfishstrip
Confusing legality with morality is absolutely a conservative trait
MapleSyrupMafia
If you make the rules, a lot of things can be "legal", just not moral.
thundercactus
They didn't do anything illegal at all! Because once they took absolute government power, they made every heinous thing they did legal. /s
psmith00
that's not sarcasm. that's what every despot and dictator does. the change the laws to make what they do legal. even Trump was caught saying that first you take the guns then you do the paperwork.
thundercactus
Better safe than assumed to be in support of Nazi's, I say lol
Fyreworx
Cool so she supports nazis. That's all you need to know.
ThereAreSomeWhoCallMe
Didn’t the ACLU also famously support the right to protest/march, even for neonazis?
ArthurT
"Marching ... with Guns." That is all I need to know. They are prorating an armed insurrection against the U.S. as a foreign power. They are trying to skirt a law, that they them selves would suppress.
notyoubizness
That phrase, "that's all you need to know", is horrific. It shuts down conversation, attempts to stop further learning, and frankly tries to gatekeep knowledge. Every time I hear it I get suspicious that what I'm reading isn't the whole story. That is how Republicans work. Not us.
DeathLemons
Its a pretty simple line of questioning do they support nazis? Yes. Ok thats all we ned to know.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
She *is* a nazi.
iveson
We need to know a lot more than that. People are going from “I’m not a Nazi” to “If doing this makes me a Nazi, then I’m a Nazi” to “Yes I’m 100% a Nazi”. How do we stop this shit? Genuine question because name calling and shaming is having the opposite effect.
pupquine
These f*ckers are everywhere nowadays. We are nearing the next Big Sh*t.
Eldis
They're basically getting brainwashed into a fascist cult by massive propaganda campaigns. Deprogramming all the hate shoved directly through their smart phone screens is difficult, or impossible. What we need is as massive a counter intelligence operation, dismantling the lies and calling out what's happening with proper information travel.
IntelligentLake
Best way, vote against the nazi party and be prepared to fight if they try to take over (they might use different names like 'republican')
iveson
Agreed on the first, the second kinda throws democracy out with the bath water. 49% of voters, ±2%, need to be convinced otherwise. How do we do that?
IntelligentLake
Remind them that it wasn't just Jews that were killed by Nazis, but everybody who was different, which very likely includes them. So they should vote with that in mind.
Aesonique
Hell, they even murdered Nazis that weren't Nazi *enough*. Nobody is safe with them.
