In today's episode of Republican Nazis hiding in plain sight, we meet preacher David Brock, 22 year old Reagan delegate to the 1980 GOP convention who a year later founded a self-described "neo-fascist" organization called "The New Order Legion" in SE Portland.

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

It's not new. Trans people have been around as long as there have been people. And the revolutionary institute that performed the first known gender affirming surgeries, founded by a gay Jewish doctor, was among the Nazis' first targets. Learn more from @bschillace.brandyschillace.com:

In the late 1990s, the gun industry launched a secret project.
To elect firearm-friendly politicians, manufacturers gave political operatives sensitive, intimate information on their customers without their consent.
