In the 30s, the American Nazi Party called Hitler a genius. Conservative Republicans agreed. When the Germans took the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and France, Republicans said, "Eh, we've no dog in this fight." Today, Republicans, privately and publicly applaud Putin's Hitlerian gambits and fantasize over the size of his Kremlin Kock. Out in the hinterland, all over America, Trump flags fly, and "blue line" bumper stickers cue far-right, racist messages to other Republican mouth-breathers. What does today's GOP stand for? Same as it ever was.
