Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The only good ~~Republican~~ Nazi is a dead one
I just saw someone again with that "Republicans are not conservatives" thing, but seriously, what's the real difference? Most conservatives at least tolerate Nazis in their midst, and usually at least agree with most of their stance on things like culture and race. The Republican party is the party for conservatives. And neither conservatives nor Republicans (if we are going to try to distinguish the two) don't seem to do any systemic policing of the Nazi shit in their ranks. If anything, they encourage it.
When someone does this "but Republicans are not really conservative", I don't even know what they mean at this point. The natural endpoint for conservatism is the same as what the Nazi Party arrived at. It's about the vibes and the emotional tendencies and the mental illness that right wing authoritarianism (RWA) leads to.
Despite the claims by conservatives about others - meaning liberals - being emotional, it's really them that are all about the vibes and the emotions. When cons talk about emotions, they are only referring to people showing empathy, but they leave out an entire range of emotions and vibes that the conservatives steep themselves in every day as a matter of course.
Conservatives ~90 years ago at Madison Square Garden
Say what you want but the world needs a sense of pageantry.
This is a photo of a NazI rally, so their pageantry was disgusting even if it was well known.
Trump tried to do that here:
It's the difference between the philosophy of conservatism and its practitioners. I can kinda sympathize, seeing as every mention of socialism somehow becomes a riot against the ussr.
This is the logic I apply to the Free Palestine movement. There are anti-semites within that group, and they are tolerated by others in the movement. Therefore the Free Palestine movement is an anti-semitic movement.
But for some odd reason I don't think I'll get as many upvotes as you've gotten.
Anti-semites within the movement are regularly dogpiled all the time. What you call anti-semitic is not anti-semitic, it's anti-zionist.
You, as a zionist, are the anti-semite. And yes, anti-semetic Jewish people exist.
Also... hate against Palestinians is anti-semitism.
I compared Netenyahu to Hitler and you defended him. fuck off and die bitch, no one wants you here.

For context
I recall giving you this link before:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law
But then maybe that was someone else. All of you hateful people sound the same.
Nonono, you don't understand. Hitler killed all the undesirables he was able to like this, but Netanyahu killed all the undesirables he was able to like this, duh!
In your heads y'all are thinking "ooo I know I'll say Israel is Nazi, it's genius, totally gottem!"
Meanwhile in reality you show yourselves to be incapable of any kind of critical thinking. And completely unoriginal. Do you really think repeating the same inane troll over and over again is causing people to rage out or whatever fantasy is going on in your adolescent brains?
At least come up with something original LOL.
Weirder are the pro-Israel gang, who months before the last big kick-off were whining about Jewish space lasers.
What are you talking about? That's the crowd that still hates Jews and are peeling off more and more "leftists" into their right wing movement.
Have you ever heard of Candace Owens? A lot of the "leftist" "anti-Israel" crowd are flocking to her now.
Nationalists and socialists finding common ground over their hatred of Jews. Where have we heard this one before?
How do you feel about your failed movement being the gateway to fascist anti-semiitsm? Do you just not care as long as people hate "Israel" as much as you do?
