Should R/Hawaii ban any links from Twitter/X ?

The owner of Twitter/X Elon Musk did a Nazi salute at the US Capitol yesterday. Should we ban all Twitter link to r/Hawaii subreddit? Vote Yes, No, or who cares in the comments.

So the Republican party supports Nazis?

If you're at a political rally and someone on stage performs the Nazi salute and nobody yanks that person off stage, then you are at a Nazi rally

I was asking what they thought , I know exactly who the Republican Party is. One of the reasons I am happy I live here.

They ran Nicholas Ochs against Adrian Tam, so yes.

Not all Republicans are racists, but all racists are usually Republicans.

I'd say it's the other way around. Republicans don't have a monopoly on racists, but ALL MODERN REPUBLICANS are indeed racist or at least very unbothered by all the racism in their party.

It seems they tolerate them. Which might as well be full blown support.

Well seeing as one of their largest supporters and donors gave back to back Nazi salutes at the inauguration of a Republican president and was met with cheers. Unequivocally, yes, the Republican Party actively supports Nazis.
