    The Conservative party has always been a den of cousin fucking racists. I’m saying conservative because I’m tired of these fucks saying “dur hur hur the Democrats were the slave owners.”

    The future? This is where they have been at for quite some time. They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for over a decade now. They might have been somewhat muted during the years before Taco came along, and since the Southern Strategy…that’s why they bitch so much about “political correctness” and “wokeness”.

    They want to go full 1950s-era unchained in their racism. And some are even worse - they want 1930s level Germany…

    No one I know is surprised by this news article. My only reaction is that it’s hard to believe that such young men posted such despicable content, and they aren’t higher up in the MAGA/GOP food chain.

    But, tell us all again how the “radical left” is the problem with the current state of political discourse?

      Was going to say, the time to worry if right wing American discourse would lead to literal full and complete Nazism was, depending on your personal taste and historical acumen, no later than the eighties. But you could go back as far as you like. Even to before Nazis existed, really. America has been evil so long that Hitler was apparently surprised we didn’t side with him. Guess he wasn’t wrong, just early.

        Hitler sent envoys to the US to study Jim Crow laws. The anti-Jewish laws of the Third Reich were inspired by and heavily based on Jim Crow laws.

        Except…the Nazis thought Jim Crow was too severe. Seriously. Under Jim Crow you were considered Black if you had “oone drop” of Black blood. In other words, if any ancestor of yours was Black, no matter how far back that may go, you were Black.

        In Nazi Germany, you were considered Jewish if one of your grandparents was Jewish.

        How racist do you have to be for the literal Nazis to go “wow! That’s a bit racist!”

        American companies were too busy profiteering from both sides to side with either at the start. They only joined the allies because the Japanese had already partnered up with the Nazis because the US was boycotting them for expanding into the Pacific, which what the US wanted to do.
