In 2012, when black people in Coatesville voted for Tim Hennessey in
his north Chester County KKK district which then included Coatesville, they didn't understand Republicans had
gone all out Nazi.
While Tuskegee Airman Red Tails were killing Nazis in the
skies over Germany, back home racism was split about evenly among whites of
both parties.
And there were Republicans back home who adored Adolph Hitler:
“The British and the Jewish races, for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in the war. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government.”. – Charles Lindbergh
Until the 1960s Democrats needed votes from segregationists
in the Deep South to win national elections.
Then Martin Luther King Jr. made a deal with President
Johnson, Democrats abandoned segregationist Democrats, and Richard Nixon put
his "Southern Strategy" in effect.
When Democrats gave us a black president the Republican
Party went all out Nazi.
But most people couldn't understand that.
Now thanks to Donald Trump we know Republican is just a code
word for Nazi.
