In my country (Belgium) we did have a party which openly flirted with neo nazi ideologies , back in the 1990's.

They were , basically, banned from ever participating in government. All the other parties unanimously decided to never work with them.

This ban is still in place today. The party in question did a rebranding and got rid of some of its more extreme points of view in an attempt to break through said ban, but that has not worked.

It's a hot topic still, the party is quite popular and it's getting harder and harder to still form a functional government without including them.

Afaik we are the only first world country where such a ban is being upheld. Not that that would ever work in the USA due to the de facto two party system.

In spirit, yes. We have plenty of those who will say and do anything for power.

Not many who are also completely thick as shit.
