The premise of the question is utter tripe. There is no connection between the two and it is interesting that the questioner proffers no corroboration.
To start, who said this: "I am a socialist, and a very different kind of socialist from your rich friend Count Reventlow." The year was 1930, and the writer was a rising German politician named Adolf Hitler.
In short, presuming that the questioner meant to draw a connection between the nominally right wing views of Republicans and Nazis, the comparison does not bear scrutiny. The Nazis - as the name National Socialist German Workers Party suggests - were a part of the left.
The reason for the bitter antipathy between the Nazis and the Socialists was that the latter defined the motivating force of History - with a capital "H" - as being economics and class war. The Nazis defined the motive force of History as being a clash of the races.
This was an argument within the family, so to speak. Each thinking that they were defining the nature of Truth - with a capital "T" - for socialism and thus each viewing the other within a zero sum game. Only one side of this socialist argument could be right.
Further, American political parties are not ideological parties as you tend to see in Europe. Rather they are lose knit coalitions of regional, religious, ethnic, racial, income and other groups that have come together in part by common interests and in part by historical accident.
In the case of the GOP, it is a coalition made up of classical liberals - which Americans call conservatives - libertarians, small and medium sized business, religious and social traditionalists, lower middle and upper middle income earners, farmers, rural and exurban populations, and historically older voters. It tends to dominate the South, the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountain West and the state of Alaska - though this is starting to change somewhat.
On the Democratic side you get, ethnic and religious minorities, middle and high income wage earners, big business and entertainment industries, urban and inner suburban votes, radical liberals - which Americans call liberals. (Note, the term "radical" here does not mean as Americans use it, i. e. "extremist," but rather as the ancient Greeks used the term, meaning "to the root of.") The regions where it is dominant are northeast, the mid-Atlantic, the Pacific coast and the state of Hawaii. (Though again, this is starting to change and is one of the reasons that Mrs. Clinton was defeated in 2016.)
Thus to characterize Republicans in explicitly ideological terms - let alone to suggest that "all Nazis" are Republicans is to ignore much complexity and conflate many identities. Indeed, for all that, which explicitly Socialist politician caucuses with the Democrats in Congress? See also Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Thus, if we were to follow the logic - if such a sweeping generalization, not to say slander, can be called logic - where would we be more likely to find Nazis? Which party emphasizes race? On which side do we find "political correctness?"
Of course, the point is absurd. Nazis in America are very thin on the ground and - oh by the way, have their own political party. See also the American Nazi Party. This question then suggesting that the questioner is at best ignorant of the pedigree of the ideas he purports to discuss. At worst, content to use slander as a substitute for reasoned argument.
You realize nazi'sm was a socialist political party right, which aligns with. It's short for the nationalist socialist german workers party. The KKK was also a backed by democrats during the civil rights movement. Current democrat members of congress have also made anti-semetic comments like AOC, illhan Omar, and others who have voiced their disdain of Israel.
You also realize that swastika logo in the picture you chose is meant to suggest that the people pushing the jab are the nazi's, but that one flew right over your head, which isn't surprising. Kind of funny you actually think this person is a nazi lol.
There is no correlation between Nazi'ism and conservatism when the ideologies are polar opposites. Nazi's were fascist and expected a strict adherence to what the state wanted. The collective and the nation was more important than the individual. They also used groups like the brown shirts to violently punish people who didn't agree with their ideology. All that sounds very much like today's democrat party to me. Antifa and BLM threatening people eating dinner and running business who refuse to bow down, a believe that individual rights do not take precedence over that of the collective community, a belief in a socialist economic system. The democrat party is pretty much a text book example of Nazi'sm, marxism, and fascsm.
I figured & am not surprised -- && it's one of many things that bother me
I think National Socialist says it all, they were Democrats

Do you know how incredibly easy it was to convert a socialist to fascism in the 30's and vice versa? It's because they're two sides of the same collectivist, totalitarian coin. They're both bastard spawns of Marxism. It simply isn't in the liberal psyche to be afraid that the world is about to be converted into fascism like it is with the socialists.
Just something that I thought you should know.
All Nazi’s can’t be republicans. Nazism is national socialism. Conservatives in America stand against socialism. Nazism is left wing, not right wing. Nazism is just as obsessed with race as leftists are. Republicans would be closer to fascists than Nazis. The Nazis were fascists. They were also Nazis. All that Aryan crap was part of Nazism and not fascism.
Does it bother you all Bolsheviks are Democrats?
Yes it’s a pain in the ass, frankly I hate the fact that they don’t have there own party that no one will vote for, frankly I would like to purge them form the party. The only thing we have in common is we both like Trump. Yes at the beginning Trump wink and nodded to the what I call the alt right. Which I spoke out against it. I don’t think Trump himself is a white supremacist he better at falling the crowd where he’s at.
Democrats are much closer to Nazi ideals and policies than Republicans are. You need to learn actual history instead of just propaganda you see on TV.
One thing morons always do is compare any political side they dislike to the Nazis.
Notice how in her profile image the swastika is made of syringes? That’s because she’s calling the liberals Nazis.
All Nazis are also not republicans. Some like Richard Spencer voted for Biden.
The fact of the matter is there are extremist groups on both sides of the political equation. While it's potentially frightening that these extremists may try to get into power, as long as there are enough people of reasonable sound and mind on both ends of the political scale to prevent it, we got nothing to worry about.
I think it's safe to say that anyone that sees these extremist groups speak or act will see them for what exactly they are, a bunch of f****** idiots.
People on the right know. They’re like this behind closed doors. But what’s funny is when they say the left are communist. Even tho the left isn’t even close to being communist or socialist lol. But you have these people in the millions who are KKK and neo nazis.
Hitler and his cronies offered social welfare programs and safety nets, were anti gun, and were pro union plus they hated religion. Does that sound like Republicans to you?
Are they? The nazis had an intense dialogue with the democrats.
Hitler quite literally copied some of their socialist talking points.
Including ethnic cleansing through abortions and sterilisation.
They're morons then. These groups are just as reliant on collectivism as the far left is. The people who want Trump just want the government out of their lives but I guess that's fascist for some reason.
You stereotyping is shameful. The KKK was founded by Democrats.
I'm Right-Wing Independent and I care more about what ANY of these groups DO and how they BEHAVE, rather than what they CALL themselves.
Also, the Nazi's were Left-Wing homosexuals
Far right find common ground with right wing? Next you'll tell me communists find common ground with socialists
It’s telling that there ain’t a single option for independent.
Actually they aren't many were democrats
but all VIOLENT anarchists and communists are democrats
still going on about Trump? hehe. Boy... you should just get the courage to ask him out since you're thinking about him all day every day.
I would hope it would bother reasonable Republicans.
Does it bother you that all Democrats are Communists?
Does it bother you that all antifa and blm terrorist are democrats?
