Now let's look at some things that sound more like Republicans:
−
*4. ''Only members of the nation may be citizens of the State. Only those of German blood, whatever be their creed, may be members of the nation. Accordingly, no Jew may be a member of the nation.''  (The "state" meant the Nazi government.  The "nation" was a quasi-racial term that roughly translates as "us common folks", that is, people of German ancestry.  Remember that in the 1920's  People did migrate nearly as much as they do today, so one's "national ancestry" was usually a meaningful notion.)  [This doesn't sound as though the Nazis were tolerant of what we now call "illegal immigrants".]

*24. ''We demand freedom for all religious denominations in the State, provided they do not threaten its existence [and] not offend the moral feelings of the German race.''  [Prohibit things that offend moral/religious feelings of Christians?  Like homosexual weddings?  And wedding cakes?]
