    Reminder that Jews for Hitler & the Log Cabin Republicans are things that exist or have existed.

      I think I heard about the first one.

      Were they the ones that thought he was joking and voted for him because they thought it would be funny?

          "A possible reason why some German Jews supported Hitler may have been that they thought that his antisemitism was only for “stirring up the masses”.

          The seemingly ironic fact that a Jewish association advocated loyalty to the Nazi programme gave rise to a contemporary joke about Naumann and his followers ending their meeting by giving the Nazi salute and shouting “Down With Us!”

          It must of been that part that I was thinking about.

          I don’t think that’s true. From my understanding Von Naumann was motivated by a sense of nationalism, not privilege.

              Why discount the possibility of them speaking in racist characterisation? The discussion is about Jews for Hitler, hopefully you can see how even delivered metaphorically, it is kinda obvious cartoonish racism.

              Also are you sure you understand the concept you’re trying to peddle?

                Now that you mention it, I suppose that could be. And, no, I’m not sure I understand much of anything.
