At what time in history? You do understand that they haven't always been the same and that the members of each Party have taken different stances than even their own Party supported depending on many factors, right?
 
Is this another one of those when Dems used to be called Reps and Reps used to be called Dems?

@JMB1911A1 probably found some random asshole’s blog that claims these are the policies of the Nazi party or Confederates or something and wants to say they are the policies of Democrats.
 
Is this what you are attempting to parallel?

What parallels are becoming strikingly similar between the modern Democrats and the German Nazi's?

Answer (1 of 15): For the first time in the history of the United States, the FBI and the Justice Department have been used to keep a particular political party in power. That is exactly what the Gestapo did for Germany’s Nazi Party and what the KGB did for the Soviet Union’s Communist Party. If ...

No, they don’t. Not even close.

It was never shot down.

I have seen Democrat politicians call for many of them. The official Democrat party platform is just their version of taqiyya. Occasionally, they let the mask sleep and we can see the authoritarians that Democrats truly want to be.
