You're speculating about something we can't know about. IF he were a Republican opposing civil rights and voting rights laws, sure, he would have been viewed with 'jaundice' by Dems.

What we know for certain is that Trump has shown 'moral relativism' equating Nazis with their opposition.

As far as I'm concerned that's 'equivalent' to chastising the 101st Airborne, the 'opposition', for 'dropping in on' the Krauts, unannounced, in the middle of the night, before the Normandy landings.

What is inarguable is that the GOP formulated the Southern Strategy that played to the worst among the GOP base with 'dog whistle' racist politics. Look it up, I'm tired of copy and pasting it.

Trump made a fool out of himself and disgraced his office yesterday. Period. His new chief of staff knows it. You can look at the pictures of him again.

You want to compare the 'tabs'? How conservative of you.

It was fucking Nazis you bonehead, there IS no comparison. And there's no 'lets face it' about what happened.

Maybe I'm missing something. Are you sympathetic to the 'cause' of the blood and soil anti-Semitic fucks about whom Trump cravenly equivocated about?

Really? Autocrats and kings could not use their navies for a low cost blockade and supply operation to help break up a country for later, easier, spoils?
