Question

RingOfFire · Accepted Answer

I've lived for 70 years and moved all over the United States many times.

I have never once, not even one time, met ANYONE, least of all conservatives, who even supports much less is a member of any of these so-called "Nazi" or "right wing extremist" groups or known anyone who even knows one of them.

You are talking about a handful of weirdo nut cases in a country of 330 million people whose only value to anyone is for the Democrats to use them to make up a false narrative that there is some kind of organized "right wing extremist" threat (which there is not). They love to manufacture boogeymen to scare people.

Meanwhile, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and dozens of other REAL dangerous and foreign funded left wing groups have been burning down and taking over cities coast to coast, looting and rioting, committing insurrection against government officers and buildings, murdering innocent people and law enforcement officers and causing BILIONS of dollars in damage coast to coast for years and the Democrats and their fake news media are STILL calling them "Mostly peaceful."

Wake up. The Democrats are liars and scammers.

PS: That is a POLICE STATION that is burning in the background of this video.

I have never in my life seen a conservative wave a swastika. Even a few extremist nut jobs I know don’t even do this.

What’s going is what I call the “Westboro church media syndrome”. The westboro church literally only had a 100 members. But be media absolutely fixated on their fringe antics for years to give a bullshit narrative that “this how most conservatives are”. It’s ridiculous.

Not really. The confederate flag is a symbol of states’ rights in the USA. It was first flown by democrats who opposed republican Abraham Lincoln’s perceived overreach as POTUS. States’ rights are not really a left or right issue. Californians think they should be able to do whatever they want without federal oversight. They don’t all fly the flag because they, like many ignorant mostly northerners, assume it means flag bearers want to bring slavery back. That’s not at all true. Although, at the time, criminalizing the slave trade was considered a progressive move sociopolitically. It was the platform shift that associated the flag with conservatives instead of democrats.
Neo-Nazis are entirely an out-group. They don’t support a political party and no parties support them. They don’t vote. They don’t even have a platform that translates to modern politics. Mostly they are segregationists. Similarly to the dixie flag, the Nazi flag was originally flown by leftists. Socialists whose ideology was formed under the “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei” or National Socialist German Workers’ Party. To this day socialism is universally accepted as a leftist ideology, further left even than traditional liberalism.

If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice there’s been another platform shift. The lines between republican and democrat, conservative and progressive, left and right are blurring. That can be a good thing, but it’s probably wasted on the US, particularly the modern left who views everything through their identity politics lenses. As a people, we have a real shot at recognizing that we have more in common than we have that keeps us apart. If we joined together we could actually influence meaningful changes in our legal and political systems. Instead, we let them bait us into fighting with each other so that they never take the full heat of the American wrath.

I answered the flip side of this question about ‘Democrats waving LGBTQ+ / Free Palestine over The American Flag’ which I said Disagree.

So, what is my answer to ‘Republicans waving Nazi / Confederate over The American Flag’? I Disagree.

American is a special term, no matter where you came from, your religion, your skin color, occupation, gender, or region because once you are in the jurisdiction of this beautiful beacon, you are an American.
Anyone and everyone can wave The American Flag proudly, though the other flags hit specific niches of individuals. I believe the majority of Americans, bipartisan and nonpartisan wave the Red, White, and Blue more than any-other flag.

God Bless America 🇺🇸

Keyboardkat · Answer

Define "rightist." If you mean white supremacists, then you're probably correct. However, most conservatives are normal, reasonable people. I, for example, am a conservative. I am NOT a racist, I do not own a gun and never have, I do not drive a pickup truck (least of all with shotgun racks behind the cab), I am not a misogynist (I have three wonderful daughters), and I've never killed anybody. I also happen to be Jewish, so it's not too likely that I'd be waving a Nazi flag!! Lose your stereotypes. People are individuals. They are not the labels you want to pin on them!

OneViewpoint · Answer

The MAGA Reich Wing love to call themselves "patriots" but the truth is they hate their own country and want to destroy it to be replaced by a Fascist White Christian Homeland where Patriarchy is the law of the land. They say they support the Constitution but violate it on a daily basis. Most of them have never read the Constitution and misquote it constantly, either in ignorance or deliberate lies. In reality the Constitution is an annoying piece of toilet paper for them. They fetishize the Confederacy and Nazi Germany. They worship Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban. They lick the boots of the Oligarchs who are butt raping them daily. They are the absolute filth of our society.

Nazis and Confederate Flags?

What people sit around worried about shit like this?

The Nazis were crushed in 1944-45 and the Confederacy ended in 1865.

I am not worried about Nazis and Confederate States. I don't spend time worrying about bogeymen.

lightbulb27 · Answer

never met one so don't know their thinking.  they tend to be more independent minded hillbillies. that would align a bit with both left and right.  if you meet one, interview them.

exitseven · Answer

Democrats created this stereotype because they have no good polices to offer that will solve any of the problems facing Americans today. They actually create problems.

Jersey2 · Answer

Only someone on the Left would believe that, it’s just not true. I have never seen anyone on the Right that I know with any Nazi flag. None one that I know has a rebel flag either although I have seen, rarely though, some on the highway.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Obviously we have our share of neo-nazis here in Germany, but the amount of Swastika flags and Nazi symbols displayed in the United States is mind boggling to me. 😳

Dongie · Answer

I guess I've not been exposed to any nazi flag waving "rightists" since the 90's so I couldn't properly respond about these days. I would imagine all the way far right think that way.
