(21,711 posts)Hungary's fascist and kleptomaniacal Miklos Horthy dictatorship was perhaps Hitler's closest ally - more so even than Mussolini.
Once the war ended, a vertiable exodus of Hungarian Nazis and collaborators ensued - many of them ending up in South America, Britain, Portugal, and - thanks to Prescott Bush - southern California.

(21,711 posts)As bad as German Nazi escapees were, the über-fascist Croatian Ustae regime were a close second.
They were particularly sadistic, and in relation to their relatively small numbers committed far more atrocities than the Nazis did.
Like the Nazis, many found refuge in not only Argentina, Chile, and Brazil (which like Croatia are majority-Catholic countries); but also in Southern California - particularly in Orange and northern San Diego counties.

(21,711 posts)Most Italian fascists were given a kind of undeclared amnesty after World War II - i.e. renounce Mussolini and refrain from interfering, and all is forgiven.
There were, however, a rash of vendetta killings against former fascists - mostly by southern Italians against whom Mussolini had been particularly vicious.
Few things as fierce as Calabrese vendetta, let me tell you.

Embattled Presidential Deputy Assistant Sebastian Gorka has resigned from his post in the White House, The Federalist reported.
In his resignation letter, Gorka cites forces at odds with the Make America Great Again dream as the reasoning behind his exit.
[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are for now ascendant within the White House, Gorkas resignation reads. As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the Peoples House.
Gorka has been linked to racist anti-Semitic groups in his home country of Hungary, causing much of the media and Internet backlash against him.
Read more of Gorkas resignation letter below and at The Federalist.

(11,949 posts)They are despondent and some are actually giving up on Trump. If Miller goes he will lose more of them. But like true ideologues there are those still defending Trump and insisting that it is all some kind of devious plan. Basically, they are all fucking idiots.
We know it all about their racism but it is fun to see them despondent and fighting among themselves.
We on the left get some of our brethren who come up with bat shit crazy conspiracy theories at times, but these nuts live and relish in them continually.
Have a nice evening.

After this parade of truly bad hombres, I'd suggest knocking down the whole building because the metaphorical stench is permeating every stone and every piece of furniture.
