From this side of the pond, what the TPGOP is doing is nothing new. The same arguments were used a decade or so ago by the extreme right wing here. And in some instances, still are.
And by extreme right wing, I mean extreme right wing. Parties like the Sweden Democrats, National Democrats, the Swedes’ Party (Svenskarnas Parti), the now defunct Sweden Party and Keep Sweden Swedish (Bevara Sverige Svenskt (BSS)).
Parties and organizations which can trace their lineage back to the Nordic Reichs Party (Nordiska Rikspartiet) of the 70’s and early 80’s, which was openly nazi.

No, it’s them libs that are the nazi’s! National Socialism, you hear it in the name they’re socialist! We’re right wing! Hurr! Durr!

Yeah.
Right.

*smh*
