To those on the Right. What are your thoughts on the AfD (the political party Elon spoke at last week)?

I saw several news articles about Elon speaking at what was sometimes both referred to as a "neo-Nazi rally", and other times, an "alt-right rally."

When I looked up the platform of the party, and it really doesn't sound much different from the positions of the far-right (not "alt-right") candidates we have in the states. On some points. they even seem more liberal than our conservative climate has been over the past 20 years. For example, they support civil unions for gay people which was not even popular among mainstream conservative voices in the US before the gay marriage was legalized. Otherwise, the issues that they push for are things that seem mirror that of our own mainstream conservative party.

Do you feel like aligning them with neo-Nazis and the alt-right is a fair characterization for them? If so, 1) where do you find major breaks from their platform and mainstream Conservative platforms in the US and 2) what it is about that that specifically makes it justifiable to align them with a neo-Nazi or "alt right" movement?
