Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

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!

I know we were all really enjoying bashing leftists for being anti-semitic when they have the nerve to protest the Palestinian Genocide but The Republican Party is genuinely extremely anti-semitic and becoming more so at a terrifying velocity.

It should scare everyone how openly the Republican Party is flirting with true genuine anti-semitism, whether you are jewish or not, this is a matter of accelerating dehumanization and skapegoating.

I also want to take this time to tell centrists who sat by and watched this happen while hyperfocusing only at screaming at leftists to shut up, stop being anti-semitic and take the conversation elsewhere, fuck you.

Also...

I was, like many people then, a resolute ticket-splitter, voting often for local Democrats but always for Republican presidents, because I believed the national GOP was a moderate institution. Ronald Reagan, for example, disappointed the far right and his evangelical base by reducing nuclear weapons, leaving abortion rights largely untouched, and granting mass amnesty to undocumented immigrants (something I objected to at the time).

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Trust me, the GOP doesn't think it's a problem.

Fruit of the Bircher seed.

They have to go somewhere ... and "conservative" just means white or wannabe white.

They are one and the same. All the people who fought the Nazis in WW2 are mostly dead now so bringing back old Nazi slogans isn’t surprising to me.

The neo-Nazi shit withing the Government of Putin was simmering until Nov 2024. The fucked up Unite the Right Asswipes in Charlottesville, VA proved it.

The answer will SHOCK you!

It's a bit more like the Nazi's got a marketing makeover.
