How Trump Brought Nazis Into Republican Politics

[Carnal_Flower]

I totally agree.

They keep saying Rethuglican Senators are "caving to the base," but the fact is the Trump base is a #loser. They are losing the suburbs, moderates and independents, and women, yet they still persist in clinging to Trump's fascist coattails.

I can't see any other reason than they want to go full Nazi. its still a #loser, but it's what they want. Whitey Uber Alles!

“They can do QAnon, or they can do college-educated voters. They cannot do both.”

Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney.

Yet most Republicans appear more comfortable losing college educated voters than they are telling QAnon or the Proud Boys to fuck off.

The Republican Party is morphing into a quasi-authoritarian party—one that’s becoming more willing to undermine democratic norms to maintain power. Its long-term evolution toward any-means-necessary militance is likely to only intensify as the nation’s growing racial and religious diversity, which triggers so many in the party’s base, unspools through the 2020s.

And as the Republicans lose the swing states and college educated voters, they're going to become much more vigorous in their courting of QAnon and the Proud Boys and the neo-Nazis. They're going to embrace extremism much more tightly as they drive responsible adults out of the Republican Party.

Nobody who blindly supports trump can be labelled as being sane. I think most of america sees this now after he tried to stop the electoral vote.

"Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate". The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki."

So.....where is the Nazism???

So you can't actually point to any Nazism....got it.

Lindsey Graham is worried that if Donald Trump isn't a guiding force in the Republican Party that the Republicans will lose the support of QAnon, the Proud Boys, the KKK, the neo-Nazis, the Wolverine Watchmen, and other right-wing extremist groups.

Maybe I'm old and boring, but I can remember a time when political parties were AGAINST the idea of being supported by hate groups and domestic terrorists!

After the January 6th insurrection, an estimated 300,000 voters left the Republican Party.

Extremists like Donald Trump and Lindsey Graham are driving ordinary Americans away from the Republican Party.

Heidi Ushinski says that her decision to leave the Republican Party was an easy one, as the Republican Party "has just lost its mind”.

As moderates, suburbanites, college educated and rational voters leave the Republican Party, hate groups, right-wing extremists and domestic terrorists may soon be the only voters the Republicans have left.

Once Authoritarian regimes cross a racial line, they become Fascist. Where did Trump file his legal complaints? Counties with cities. Cities that are 80% black. Not one complaint was filed in a county predominantly white. Not one.

Anyone supporting a Republican is a Fascist by definition...because the Party IS Fascist. It really is this simple.

 

[bellisarius]

Good Lord, you people are morons.

 

[icanhelp1]

Good Lord, you people are morons.

Fascist by definition? ignorant assholes have absolutely no clue as to the definition of fascism or Nazism, you’re right, they are fucking morons!

^^ Needs to look up the definition of fascism.....and feel dumb.

They do seem to think the definition of fascism and Nazism = any people who disagree with leftist or question the Democrat/MSM narrative.

 

[Dribble]

Three Fascists. No matter how they argue...they are each a traitor to this country

 

[bellisarius]

You leftist POS ramble on with your oh so erudite theories on this and that and Trump. You concoct these pronunciations based on a series logical thought processes that make a pretzel feel shamed and inadequate. But most importantly you make these pronouncements in total disregard of the established historical record. Pronouncements based on things that may or may not have been said as opposed to what was actually done.

You're fucking morons. Total out of touch with reality fucking morons.

I'll make some pronouncements of my own here.

1. The Biden administration will be the worst thing that ever happened for the American black community since the Wilson administration.

2. The Biden administration will be the worst thing that ever happened to the American middle class..............EVER.

The funniest thing is their insistence that someone meet EVERY SINGLE CRITERIA before they can pejoratively be called a fascist.

Even some of the worlds preeminent authorities on fascism have finally accepted that Trump is a fascist. And while respected academics are required to Cleave to very specific criteria before declaring someone a fascist, public commentators are under no such restrictions and can call it like they see it.

Creeping Charlie, ineedhelp1, etc's, "demands" that others adhere to the strict definition of certain words and phrases are simply feeble attempts to control the narrative. You know; just like good little fascists are wont to do.

This how you lead a Fascist Party:

1. Create a crisis
2. Use mass media to project your own solution.
3. Use inflammatory language in mass rallies
4. Blame immigrants
5. Encourage racist rhetoric
6. Demonize opponents
7. Declare an emergency
8. Appoint loyalist judges
9. Undermine elections
10. Popularize the term 'Lying Press'.
11. Make the rule of law irrelevant
12. Accuse the opposition of doing what you just did.
13. Repeat lies endlessly until nobody bothers to contest them and they become fact.
14. Approve acts of violence against opponents
15. Encourage supporters to invade and damage the principal government building
16. Incite mob to kill political opponents (including those who had previously been supporters)
17. Abandon mob to their fate
18. Rule by Executive Order
19. Delegate powers to senior staff placed in conflicting positions
20. Retire to leisure facility and take little interest in actual government.
21. Marry a model
22. When the going gets tough, hide in a bunker.

As a person with a history degree, if I had read this prior to the events of 2016-2021, I would assume you were referring to the Third Reich here in this post. And I'm being honest here, not partisan- I am a student in European History. Because this is exactly what the Third Reich did. And when you use this criteria and apply it to the previous presidential administration, the parallels are eerie.

What criteria is missing? Inherent racism was the hardest to prove, yet we knew it. This is the third example of specific racism. But for the true definition of "fascism " to be met, it had to be tied to something like "throwing legitimate votes away in an attempt to invalidate a legitimate election". Thank you Republicans for proving what we have been saying.

Hard to lead a party that doesn't exist. There are 2 major parties and 4 minor parties, none of which are a fascist. Hit the books dipshit!

Or counting illegitimate votes, failing to purge voters rolls to gain an advantage but that's not fascism or racism, it's called cheatism!

Every single criteria for fascism could be met and BoBo would still find a way to move the goalposts....

....that's what he does.

 

[OldJourno]

Yup...and more and more of 'em are "coming out of the Nazi closet" and fully embracing their white identity politics publlicly.

Oh look, Rob is backing up his thoughtful analysis with a cartoon!
Maybe next he can give us some real figures about how many more are really "coming out of the Nazi closet." I suspect Rob's information is actually "coming straight out of his ass."

It's almost a DNC playbook.

Nope....I just reject the "progressive" leftist idea of "criteria for fascism" (disagreeing with progressives) altogether.

Now cry some more about how having borders and immigration laws is totally the same thing as Nazism, making US Customs the equivalent of the gestapo.

Don't forget to clutch your pearls and scream "WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN???!!!" for dramatic effect.
