So Ryan's main point with this vid of I understand correctly is that there was some marginal voter flip-flopping between Nazi and Communist parties in 1930s Germany - and that this goes to show the two ideologies are not necessarily diametrically opposed. In a broader sense, that the left/right divide is kind of fake and the Nazis being "far right" and the Communists "far left" is oversimplifying the issue. This lends support to his "cult-like" model of politics that he thinks better describes the phenomenon.

I think this is largely unsurprising to us - but still an interesting vid, glad he's back at it again.

The 2 ideologies and the character of its proponents are diametrically opposed. However just because someone votes for one these parties when they were relevant in Germany would not make them a passionate ideological supporter of the cause. Therefore most of those who would switch were never truly "communists" or "nazis" in the first place, just casual voters switching sides.

That's my take as well. I know AH mentioned the "No true Scotsman" fallacy but I think it's applicable in this instance as changing your vote is an exact demonstration that you don't agree with that party.
