The Nazis at least cared for their country overall. They are worse than nazis, they have no principles whatsoever, no excuse.

Nazis did/do not, in fact, care for their country. Unless you count falling for capitalist/anticommunist propaganda and thinking killing minorities instead of organizing against capitalists will fix anything as caring.

They at least had some welfare. Now, I don't like nazis at all, but I still feel that calling conservatives ONLY nazis, does not do them justice. Nazis where the closest we got to pure evil, and conservatives are PURE evil!

You’ll still see them doing it because that’s pandering to people for sales. They’ve removed it from the places that they were forced to adhere to it.

Aren't they still forced? The order is only for federal entities.

Centuries of struggle to improve human rights, painstakingly, little bit by little bit. It takes a couple of days to wipe it away. Sickening.
