Context is important. Swastika has been a sacred symbol across cultures before Hitler subsumed it. Neo-Nazis tell you they're a Nazi in more ways than none.
Context: Hegseth and Trump aren't talking about Hindi culture.

BINGO. Mamdani should be what we expect, not the unexpected. Those whose brains have been taken over by accusations of the evils of socialism, here's Truman (1952) talking about Republicans since the 1930's, so BEFORE NEARLY ALL OUR LIFETIMES.

Trump 2.0 has Democrats second guessing themselves to find a sure path to future victory, failing to appreciate there are many roads when the tent is (purportedly) big. Many fear being too far left when that "left" represents core Democrat values. GOP has shifted the center. Viz. Truman 1952.

Another instance of more-is-less Google search. The correct answer is "FFS, Carol Burnett is not dead yet", not, "let me find some random individual sharing their name with a celebrity and offer them as the answer, plus additional results pertaining to them."

Truman noted way back in 1952 that the GOP were labeling *that* “socialism,” and had already been at it for 20 years. Do the math—that’s a ALMOST A CENTURY of the same cry-wolf routine. Time to embrace destiny, not run away.

Why do they all start dressing like historical or fictional Nazis?

Lifelong NYC'er until retirement. If we were in NYC, we'd be voting for Mamdani. It's not about youth. It's about believing in principles and legislation the Democrats once didn't run away from as soon as Republicans branded them "socialism." Truman, 1952. "Socialism!" is getting long in the tooth.

That's the Post and Telegraph building. The Soviets moved #Latvia Radio into the former Riga Commerce Bank building in 1946, commencing operations in 1949. If you look closely, you can see OMON forces' bullet nicks in the facade from 1991 putsch.
Same OMON forces then went on to destabilize Moldova.

Original Marine Air Terminal (for PanAm's flying boats), built 1940, still operational as Terminal A.

If farmers are in any way representative of the rest of the adult U.S. population, 54% read BELOW 6th grade level, 28% read BELOW 3rd grade level meaning they have difficulty with long words, forget understanding policy. Hence the success of GOP lawn signs.

...and dumping feces on protesters. Posted by "King Trump" himself on TruthSocial. Pay attention people. This is not demented, it is allegorical. He is telling us EXACTLY who he is.

And this asshole is our President. (Trump posted this on Truth Social.) No wonder the rest of the planet thinks we've lost our collective minds electing this utter POS.

Apparently trolling the administration oops regime on Twitter-never-X gets your post blocked as a bot. Oh, and if you try to post about it to call out the practice (i.e., not a reply to anything) it blocks your post as a bot as well.
