Yes this is the usual rightwing crap and I have had to “snopes” it for some of my deranged redneck relatives before I saw it here.
But what is alarming (and humorously ironic after a couple of stiff drinks) is the growing evidence of massive cognitive dissonance (or rectocranial inversion for the technical term)exhibited by those who pass these on and remain credulous after the debunking.
I just skimmed it this time (and these things keep getting altered and recycled), but the so called “evidence” given all happened during the time frame from Regan to Bush. A line by line analysis would be fun for someone, but I have books to read and computers to fix and staring “teh stupid” in the face is something I try to avoid after all these years.
If you don’t understand that Hitler was a right-wing authoritarian and creationist catholic who was allowed to flourish because he was anti communist (communist = Jew at that time) then your not going to be able to understand the roots of your own movement either.
It is simple demonization and it is not new as a tactic either.
For actual history buffs, here is a place to start matching theory with practice. (Note this is apparently used as a textbook by Frank Luntz)
