that's all i came to say really
Now we can play mad libs!
But on the topic of that first blank being "international relations," ripping up the Iran Deal and strangling the WTO by blocking all appointments to their appeals board so that other countries can't appeal our new trade sanctions is a sure way to go. Annoying Orange is making it very clear that the US shows about the same level of respect towards international organizations, institutions, and treaties as Germany did in the 1930s. How does anybody expect other countries to trust the US if we can't abide by a treaty signed just a few years prior? If we make active efforts to weaken international institutions? If we launch trade wars against our closest allies? If we blatantly ignore the consensus of UN resolutions and positions just to appeal to domestic voters?
Donald Annoying Orange ran on the idea that he would make the rest of the world respect the US again. Instead, he's made the world despise us.

Besides, these things are automated, as Darryl alluded to; Google isn't actively plotting to take them down. Instead, it's likely that there were a lot of searches for "california gop national socialist" or there were a lot of articles linking the two, and thus the automated keyword system associated them. It seems that Google is able to manually override this, but otherwise it's not in their control.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
"In March, former American national socialist Party leader Arthur Jones ran unopposed in the GOP primary for Illinois’ Third U.S. Congressional District, and will represent the party in November’s general election."
His plans (emphasis mine):
"I propose a government that makes counter-semitism central to all aims of the state. A government:
1) Of a People, for that people, free from jews
2) That cannot revoke the right to bear arms, such that this people can remain free from jews
3) that forbids all immigration except of biological kin, where no person of jewish origin may live, vacation, or traverse"
Perhaps it's wise not to read too far into this, but it seems that the California GOP is aware of this individual (running unopposed in their name!), and after reading their Constitution and doing some other research, it is entirely within their right to expel him. It seems they would rather run a Neo-national socialist than nobody - and maybe that says something.
