Token Republican minorities realize they are in fact token minorities, apparently having gone their whole lives somehow not realizing the most solid core of the Republican base is... white Christian racists.
This is exploding all through the right wing at the moment.
Ben Shapiro appears to be genuinely baffled that roughly half the Republican base under 30 likes Nick Fuentes more than him...
...he had a live discussion with his own employeees, including Matt Walsh, where Ben says it would be 'an Agatha Christie novel' to figure out if he were assasinated, whether it'd be from a far left or far right person...
... meanwhile Matt Walsh just cannot be arsed to give a fuck either way... because he is white, Christian, racist, and extremely confident in his...I guess just majestically un self aware world view, total fucking dead eyed sociopath, 24/7.
Mark Levin and Lindsey Graham are yelling slurs and profanities at Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, in public speeches at a fairly high level conservative event... evidently somewhere between baffled and terrified that they need to explain that Hitler was bad, Israel can do no wrong, and if you disagree, go fuck yourself.
(EDIT: Meanwhile, Tucker's interview of Nick includes Nick saying... that Mark Levin was the person who introduced him to the concept of white demographic decline as ... immigrants tend to have more kids... and thus Levin is actually the person who started Nick down the path of realizing that we should all just be as cruel as possible to non whites, because white good brown black bad.)
spicier content from a white trash guy who both truly understands and also truly despises white racists
(... also, in case it isn't obvious, 'Fuentes' is a hispanic name. Very literally, it means 'fountain', more contextually, as a name, it is Spanish for something like 'fountain of abundance/life'. His dad is a Mexican American, best I can tell, his grandpa was born in Mexico.)
(So if one wants to play Nick's own game... Nick is really just white-passing, now isn't he?)
(By Nick's own metrics... I'm French, Norweigan, German, Italian. And yes, its northern Italian. Pretty sure I'm more 'white' than he is, by his own metrics.)
(His fucking eyes aren't even blue, hair ain't even blonde. I'm much closer to the look of the aryan ubermensch than he is, but if you ever see me on the streets, it'll be dressed with a black and red emblem, maybe arrows, maybe an angry kitty kat... fuck do i hate nazis)
These fucking actual morons have been lying to themselves their whole lives that a massive chunk of the movements they are a part of, helped to grow and mold... that a huge chunk of their fanbase isn't actually just dumb asshole racist bigots.
They apparently actually do largely believe their own obvious bullshit.
And now, they seem to have only just realized this, at the very moment that the dumb asshole racist bigots may actually outnumber the older school, corpo suck off neocons.
This is uh, strategic level, almost a stupid as the Dems softwalking Trump's prosecution during Biden's admin, and also running cover for and aiding the Israeli genocide, which lead to an actual fascist takeover of the government.
Now, the Republicans have achieved that, we are not even a year in, and, well, we're on schedule for a Night of the Long Knives, an internal party civil war.
JFC, this is all so predictable to anyone with an understanding of politics and history that expands further than the last 40 years of the US... but, hedonistic myopia is apparently just what we do now.
Ben just realized he is part of the baddies.
This is why this will be over in the near future, these shots are tearing themselves to pieces, they can't share power, don't know how to
