To be honest, this has always kinda been how the conservatives in the US talk when they're by themselves. I grew up in the 70s and heard it quite often from uptight assholes on the right.

It's not anything new, really. It's just that today the communications, instead of being face to face, are online and they leave records of their conversations.

Bigoted jackasses, gonna jackass.

Seconded, my experience as well.

Same and it all begins around middle school when white kids start really being openly racist around their fellow whites like myself.

this is a perfect example of just because it's well known doesn't make it fact.

now that there is evidence, it's a fact.

Republicans are a party of Nazis.

The question remains: What are the real americans going to do about it?

It's not going to get better by itself, and the rest of the world can't just come over and fix it.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 30 points 2 weeks ago

This was news to the people who needed to hear it

It's another notch in the wall. We all wish the wall would come down already... But it will be painfully slow and all encompassing

But every notch does matter

I wish the media outlets would publish pictures of them they didn't pull from Linkedin but actual, social-media pics of these asswipes in their average, every-day, stained house-clothes and hoodies. It may seem superficial but these are the kinds of people who are deeply insecure about themselves and it would do far more damage than exposing their stupid conversations. They're NOT ashamed of what they said, we have to understand that. If anything they are delighting in the attention.

These are just 4chan trolls who ~~matured~~ got older and managed to get a foot in the door of actual political action. While I don't believe they are more serious in their beliefs than any 4chan self-proclaimed nazi, they are definitely going to empower the actual intelligent fascists and monsters who crave power. Showing them as basement trolls and tubby, pathetic social rejects would weaken them in the arena of aesthetic performance and aspirations for leadership in the party.

That's what these pictures are though, they're just in suits. I find the fact that they're all in suits hilarious. Dude is what, 23 and has the same build that 79 year old Trump has.

Yes, as always, the master race: fat, balding, and utterly insignificant without the inbred assurance that their skin color is some kind of achievement.

Fucked that they don't even have to exaggerate. The literal quotes are so absurdly vile that they can't be outdone.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 80 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They’re not joking. They’re literally starting a genocide and a fascist military police state in front of our eyes

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 45 points 2 weeks ago

For a decade, I have been begging anyone who will listen to believe Trump et al. whenever they threaten someone. I swear that the only time Trump tells the truth is when he promises violence, retribution, or lawbreaking.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 63 points 2 weeks ago

"I love Hitler," Republicans, ~~probably~~ actually

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 54 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Are those actual leaked quotes on the right?? Good lord!!

[–] Boppel@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

germans far right is exactly the same. leaked chats showed the most vile disgusting shit. but the sad part is, that you don't even need those leaked chats. official politicians suggested shooting at immigrants, killing opponents and getting rid of our grundgesetz (which resembles your constitution).

but ask "moderate" if we should use our law that allows us to prohibit parties that clearly attack our grundgesetz and they will come up with the law of free speech (which doesn't apply in this case). the irony: the far right already made clear that free speech of the first thing to go when they are in charge.

for gods sake read some karl popper: you can't tolerate the intolerant! free speech can only justify free speech as long as that speech doesn't attack the freedom of others.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

This meme was my first exposure to the leaked texts. I suppose having read the articles about this, I’ll believe anything now.

Sadly it feels as if the US is reliving Germany’s pre-WWII history and it feels like we are all just sleepwalking into the same hell.

Every so often though there’s a little good news. We shall see.

And confirmed: we cannot be tolerant of the intolerant!

Thank you.

I’m stunned.

The right will boys will be boys this shit until the skies fill with the smoke of voters.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (8 children)

I’m stunned.

I'm not. Kids did this shit all the time in middle and high school. These people just never ran into any kind of push back or experienced maturity

I thought the comics was clumsy satire. Turns out it's basically straight infographics at this point.

Great.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 52 points 2 weeks ago

So that's how I find out.

The OG reporting, for others like me.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 48 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But why are the nazis hiding the Epstein files?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

Because the Nazis are also pedophiles.

Please remember, this is the republican party, the party that has fought to lower the age of consent across the nation for decades. This is entirely on brand for what we've seen them fight for in public, and if you're aware of the 50-60 plus pages of Republican sex pests, completely unsurprising.

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 17 points 2 weeks ago

Because they're also in there.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I think the worst part of all of this, for me, is how unfunny it all is. Like goddamn, they are so bad at humor.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

I think the worst part is that the Vice President openly defended them.

Its so weird to me how they can be both Zionist bootlickers and nazis at once, it's impressive

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

It makes more sense when you realise that it’s about oppression, power, and creating scapegoats. Hitler’s closest allies were the not-exactly-Aryan Japanese.

And it’s not like they won’t all turn on each other eventually, anyway. So why not have some strange bedfellows along the way?

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Supporting Zionism while being actively antisemitic is a handy way for Nazis to encourage jewish people to segregate themselves. Zionism presents a potentially attractive place to go, and then aggressive antisemitism gives them a reason to leave. The two are not so radically opposed.

It says so much about the Republican Party that they're defending these limpdick fifth-graders instead of saying: "You know what? We don't like these pathetic little shit-stains either."

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You should also be aware that the group accepts people up to age 40.

So the framing that these are children or teens is also misleading.

Just some 30 year kids. They will say edgy things. I mean, come on guys. … no really, let’s go to ikea and fuck a sofa.

You can't say the N-word.

I'm getting so fucking tired of libs' satisfaction with hypocrisy. We already knew these people were Nazis, they've always fucking been Nazis. They say they aren't because gaslighting is a fascist tactic and open support of Nazism doesn't ring with racist middle class people who only have their internalized values to run on. Whenever chuds are caught lying there's thousands of lib gotcha posts like it's a victory.

[–] Vlado@feddit.org 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

Why do people on Lemmy always find a way to make everything about liberals? That’s what I’m getting tired of. Whenever something happens, people come up saying “well yeah, liberals suck”. How is that better than the thing you’re arguing against? If you’re tired of “satisfaction with hypocrisy” of one group, what is your prefered group doing? Is there someone actually doing something about it? Because I only see people writing stuff on internet forums, regardless of their affiliation.
