We've had some far right/Nazi-adjacent local drama here in Salem, OR over the past few days. This post covers it well. https://www.salemkeizer.news/p/kslm-interview-puts-salem-business-in-danger?r=alsf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Basically, the owner of a local children's shop was exposed as being married to a (perhaps former) Nazi, and then claimed that the exposure of that fact drove her out of business. The timing doesn't really line up in terms of the business closure. And while they admitted his Nazi past in an interview with the local right wing AM radio station, they were quite vague and evasive about it, and the friendly interviewer didn't push very hard on it.

FWIW, that former Nazi attends the local far right/Christian Nationalist church here in Salem that has ties to a wide range of far right preachers like Sean Feucht and Artur Pawlowski, as well as Bundy-linked lawyer KrisAnne Hall.

The chair of the Marion County (OR) GOP attends the same church and regularly appears on a radio show with the church's minister. I wrote about these various manifestations of Christian Nationalism in Salem in this post. https://sethcotlar.substack.com/p/salem-hosted-not-one-but-two-christian

The chair of the Marion County GOP is a woodworker and he has made (and sells) a literal graven image of his pastor, which that pastor uses as his FB profile pic. I don't even know where to start unpacking that.
