Google lists California GOP ideology as "Nazism"

Less than a week before the California primary, Google listed “Nazism” as the ideology of the California Republican Party.

In the “knowledge panel” that provides easy access to information next to search results, Google was showing “Nazism” as an “ideology” of the party as of Thursday morning. The word “Nazism” was hyperlinked to a secondary page that shows “Nazism” alongside other “ideologies” of California Republicans like “Conservatism,” "Market liberalism,” “Fiscal conservatism,” and “Green conservatism."

When you have liberal privilege, you can say or do almost anything to advance the agenda.

It does make sense in a strange way. California Democrats are Communists. In their world view, the opposite of communism is fascism, so the California Democrats' political opposition must be related to Nazism (Nationalsozialismus in the original Greman.)

Google is run by people. People are subject to political leanings. Since the company is in Komifornia, it's not really all that surprising. But I use them many times each day. And I"m not really happy about this revelation.

If you Google it today they have removed the "Idealism" part for the Republicans. If you Google California Democratic Party they list the Ideology as

Ideology: Social liberalism, Modern liberalism in the United States, Progressivism in the United States

So I guess the Nazi comment was removed.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the Nazi philosophy socialism or in Google talk social liberalism.
Isn't the entire Democratic party now a socialist party?

The 'Nazi' party of Germany in the 1930's was trying to appeal to the bulk of the population, hence the name;
Nazional (nationalism)
Sozialist (socialism)
Deutchland (regionalism)(Aryanism)
Arbeiter (worker, in the blue-collar rather than the communism sense)(i.e., german 'rednecks')
Partei

That's a pretty broad propaganda sweep..........
The socialism, by today's standards, is largely economic in intent; in Nazi Germany it was mostly lip service to attract a population segment. 1930's Nazism was primarily nationalistic, militaristic, and totalitarian, in nature.
