oh, you're telling me the far-right authoritarians love Hitler? that's crazy. can't believe they'd do this, it's so uncharacteristic of them...
it's good ammo to throw at people who assume these groups are innocuous though--really reveals the priorities.
Moms for liberty is the group running around sending fake parents to speak at school district meetings to get LGBT content banned from school right? How shocking, never would've guessed people who spend their time doing everything they can to take away minority rights would also like Hitler🙄
Yup, immediately sent this to my sister who didn't know anything about this group and linked a few of their posts/articles in the past asking me about it and if it was true (since I'm pretty sure I'm the only trans person in her life).
I already shut that down a while ago with plenty of other sources but this additional evidence is always good!
Known hate group gets caught quoting hitler. Im shocked. Shocked I say
Ah, Indiana. As if I didn't already have enough reasons to leave this state.
Can we call them Moms for Hitler?
"Sorry, we didn't mean to reveal that we're nazis!"
I am surprised they were cowed into removing it….eventually.

"That was our bad. We actually meant to quote Joseph Goebbels."
They told us beyond a shadow of a doubt who they are.
For some reason, this reminded me of the Twilight Episode "Still Valley" . A confederate army getting the power of the devil, and with it a surefire way to win the war. By the end of it, they burn the book of witchcraft, saying "If the confederacy is to die, let it have died on hallowed ground"
It reminded me of it because this is a good quote, and it's a wise strategy. But at the principle of it... if you're desperate enough that you need to gather the advice of nazi's to win your battles, then you probably didn't deserve to win in the first place. And if you stand with it, it's all you'll be remembered for.
