The Republican Party has a neo-Nazi problem.
This is not slander or pejorative or innuendo; it is the plain truth of the matter, a conclusion drawn from simple observation. And the problem has been getting worse.

I remember someone saying during his first term, "Not everyone that voted for trump is a Nazi, but every Nazi voted for trump."
grue@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 1d
That was true in 2016, but not 2020 or especially 2024. In 2024, everyone knew or should've known what they were supporting.

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

I no longer believe that.

In this case, a lot of them actually did explain how bad they wanted to hurt the libs.
You might be right under certain circumstances, but they cop to actual malice in this case.

That's been the case since Nixon unveiled his 'Southern Strategy' in 1968.

Oh please..... They were racist, anti environmental, authoritarian thugs for all of the 60 years I've been alive. This isn't a new thing.
Nixon started a secret war and bombed a neutral country.

There is more than one kind of evil in the world. They've changed which one they are

Lived through both facades and definitely disagree.
It's all the same underneath. Greed, lust and the absence of empathy.

I don't think you could make the argument that they haven't been rapidly devolving, and especially since 2024. The level of evil and corruption is unprecedented.

Devolving? No.

You helped create this situation NYT. I remember a NYT reporter being interviewed on a podcast. The interviewer asked if he would prefer Trump as prez or not because of the views. He responded that he preferred to have Trump. Although I know that that's just one reporter, I know some of their journalists do good work, they still did a lot of harm to this country for money.

I remember them covering for GWB during the lead up to the Iraq war and covering for Reagan during Iran-Contra. They are 110% bootlicking collaborators who will always side with whoever they think is the most powerful.

NYT when Republicans are polling well: "Here's our fifteenth interview with a Trump supporter and why this kind of person truly represents the heartland of Real America. Look at his beautiful family. He's a small business owner, even! What's not to love?"
NTY when Republicans are polling badly: "Here's a photo of a twink in a badly fitted suit and another guy with face tattoos smoking from a crack pipe. Can you believe how nasty these freaks are? Ew! Nobody likes them. Certainly not us."

Man, what an absolute rabbit-hole this turned out to be. This comment from a lobste.rs post seems to have a timeline of the whole ordeal. This seems to be the blog post that kicked everything off. Calling that doxxing strikes me as making a mountain out a molehill. The blog author found some names attached to domain registration (if the registering individual didn't want those public then they should've enable domain privacy), inferred the archive.is site admin's location to maybe Germany, maybe Eastern Europe, maybe Russia (based on publicly accessible forum posts), noted that it's a one-man show that can't possibly cover its own costs and may not exist in the future, and even offered to support the archive.is admin:
And for that the archive.is admin changed their site to hijack visitors into a DDOS botnet against the blog site. That is some crazy work.
silence7@slrpnk.net · 7 pts · 21h
Archive.is came out of gamergate as a tool to enable kicking women out of video game journalism. It's not shocking that the person who controls it behaves badly. They're also by far and away the most reliable way to hand out a paywall bypass. Which completely stinks
Manjushri@piefed.social · 2 pts · 8h
Except that they have been caught altering the content of some pages that they had archived. Those alteration were part of the above linked grudge/DDOS with lobste.rs linked by another user above. Since they did it once, it makes me suspicious of pages loaded from them as I cannot be confident that they wouldn't again change a snap-shot's content.

Also:
Holy shit, kudos to this guy for not doing the brain-dead and completely lazy nonsense of blaming all this horribleness on old people (or "boomers").
People need to wake the fuck up and stop engaging in ageism and thinking "young people will save us". First clue is that is the exact same shit boomers would tell each other when they were adolescents - they invented the "don't trust anyone over 30" horseshit.
Because it's not like the young are somehow magically inoculated against horribly stupid ideas. I'd say on things like vaccines, they may be arguably worse (measurably so) than boomers. And when it comes to understanding just where fascist ideas lead, they may be in the very worst position to resist this sort of thinking...

Who flies the flags?
The Republicans make a lot of noise about being the party of Lincoln but who still flies the traitors flag?
Before the mustache man put too fine a point on things, there was a rising American fascist party. Now hawkish Republicans are the loudest braggers about saving Europe, but who still flies the Nazi flag?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1d
Something of a historical joke that you'll find the Stars and Bars in modern day Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as often as Texas or South Carolina. And the folks waving it? People whose parents were voting for John F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter on the eve of de-industrialization.
There was an entire Nixon-Era Southern Strategy playing out across the Gulf Coast and the upper midwest for the last 60 years. In the modern day, the biggest indication that you're in a Republican enclave has nothing to do with whether your ancestors owned slaves. It's got to do with whether your paycheck hinges on the local mining, refining, and export of oil and natural gas.
From the lobster dens of Maine to the nude beaches of Southern California, the single biggest indicator of your county's electoral valiance is their addiction to fossil fuels.

Is this article from c. 2008? or c. 1974? or c. 1980? or c. 1992?
In all seriousness, this is from Bouie and he's great at pointing at the epic level nonsense about how the right (and their collaborators in the Murc's Law Media) were crying about how they were suffering under some kind of "woke" regime.
I've posted this a few times already, but here it is again. Very worth watching:

I do wonder how long he'll be able to contribute to Murc's Law Media.

And now, a pressing report of most recent, urgent, and incredible news from the laboratories of modern industrial technology, just 150 years too late by the chronometer’s measure!
The steam engine, a fantastical new invention from inventor I.B. Bigginsworth, that mimics the pulling might of two full-grown steeds, makes its debut at the World Faire in Chicago to thunderous, rapturous applause. This marvelous machine is powered by only the pressure of steam generated by the heat of combustible maple wood!
And now, our second story, 150 years past the prime, conservative reactionaries are White supremacists! More news on the shocking discovery to come, as our news hounds on the ground gather more dirty details about this earth-shattering turn of events!
