Patriot Front Nazis Stymied By New York City Subway Turnstiles

Over the weekend, the Patriot Front Nazi cosplayers went to New York City to stage a march. About what, I have no idea. Possibly they just went to till the soil for Donald Trump's daydream of winning in New York, but honestly, who really knows what these nazis with their khaki pants and matching scarves really think they're doing? Maybe they don't think much at all.

When I visited New York last year, I tapped my Apple watch and the turnstile let me right in. It was so easy even a Nazi could do it. Or maybe not.

At any rate, they went to the Big Apple to take a bite out of it, and got hung up at the subway turnstiles.

Tell me that scene didn't remind of this one, from Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles:

Twitter was appropriately mocking.

Now, one of the things I hear a lot on social media is how these guys are Feds. If they were Feds, they'd be smart enough not to walk through a turnstile without paying and manage to do it without making such a scene people actually had time to record a full minute of them being utter fools. Some of the deniers insist that because they're not all fat and sloppy they can't be real Nazis, without understanding that this group prides itself on uniformity.

No, these are the cosplaying Nazis who love to march around and pretend they matter.
