Pat Buchanan was born in segregated Washington DC in 1938. He wants to know if the country he grew up in really resembled Nazi Germany. The answer is ‘no,’ but it did resemble South Africa during the apartheid era. One of the ways we know that the country has truly changed for the better is that Pat Buchanan’s worldview is no longer seen as socially acceptable and he is now unemployable on cable television. This is primarily because of his views on race, but it’s also becoming true that his views on homosexuality are verboten. He certainly senses this, which is why he’s basically admitting that he’d be more comfortable in Putin’s Russia than he is in his palatial Virginia estate. I suppose he has some kind of beef with the Pope, too, since Francis I doesn’t seem to share Buchanan’s attitude about gay people.
Also, he’s not very fond of Jews. I think this is why he’s always writing books and articles that mention Nazis.
