Look our politicians may refer to themselves as nazis on porn forums,
we may use nazi symbology at our national conference,
our campaign rhetoric may mirror nazi rhetoric exactly,
our leader may have publicly praised hitler,
our policies may be carbon copies of nazi policies,
we may count literal nazis as some of our most fervent supporters,
our leader may have praised a public nazi march,
our leader may have hosted and praised literal nazis at his estate,
our leader may curry favor among socialite nazi sympathizers in charge of large swaths of american media,
and we may perform nazi salutes at our leaders inauguration,
but… we are NOT NAZIS 😤 😭 🤡
Fascism is here.
All the signs are present.
Doesn’t matter that it’s America. Fascism can happen anywhere, at any time.
Purchase a firearm. Learn to use it.
They aren’t Nazis, far from it. Using that kind of hyperbolic language and forced equivalence hinders you from understanding how Trumpism/MAGA actually works. Trumpism has some similarities with fascism, but it’s fully its own extremely American populist personality cult.
The ideology and policies of the Nazis were on a whole different level.
Trumpism doesn’t need to be fully fascist, because it managed to gain all branches of government through elections. Trump is actually popular and democratically legitimized.
If your analysis remains at Nazis! you will never understand how to fight them. It has failed as a political tactic for years. They laugh at it, and rightly so.
Nazi/Fascist are interchangeable because the most recent extreme fascist threat on a large-scale was from Nazis. Whether you like it or not, the two terms are interchangeable in our society.
The Trump Party has undeniably embraced fascism. It’s acceptable to call them Nazis. They’re running the same playbook the Nazis were at the beginning. They’re PERFORMING NAZI SALUTES WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL IN FRONT OF THEM AT PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS.
Stop trying to distract.
I feel like this kind of reductive language isn’t helpful. They are nazis in the sense that mstters.
Nazi has for a while been another word for fascist, or at least a particular brand of it. The Republican party as a whole has slowly been moving in this direction my entire life.
Trump being too stupid to play the long game managed to build a cult around him by speed running fascism, but there is nothing he stands for that the Republican party hasn’t had a long hystory of standing for.
People denying the facism is how we got here.
New? Aren’t they the old nazi party too?
Being a Nazi isnt a yes or no thing, it’s a spectrum of how much Nazi we have in us…
- Republicans
They are fascists. They are not nazis. Nazis ate WWII era German fascists that attempted to create the ubermensch and create a 1000 year reich.
Nazis are a different flavor of fascism
If they aren’t Nazis, why are they running the same playbook Nazis did at the beginning and PERFORMING NAZI SALUTES WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL IN FRONT OF THEM AT PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS?
If they don’t want to be Nazis, just regular fascists, maybe they shouldn’t use Nazi salutes.
I agree that they are facists but they seem to have an incredible focus on Hitler and Nazism imported from Nazi Germany.
Which is common among fascists but if they aren’t looking for the 1000 year reich, the genocide of the underclass, and the creation of the master race they are not Nazis.
I’m not seeing any evidence that they don’t want these things.
Y’all are down voting this but it’s correct. What we have is Sparkling Fascism.
Dumbasses can’t pronounce fascism though, so most people stick to calling them Nazis. Not the best shorthand but it is what it is.
Fascism is like cancer of humanity, it has been on remission for a while and now its starting to come back possibly even worse because it couldn’t be eradicated when weakened.
It always holds appeal for some especially people born into wealth that are personally insecure. I suspect that’s why American schools dont really teach kids about the fundamentals of fascist philosophy.
Fate and direction of humanity might depend on how well americans resist now. america has way too much military power and nukes.
Pretty damn sure they’ve always been the American Nazi/Klan party.
New?
Unambiguously
Democrats are Nazis, too. They’re arming literal Nazi military forces, and just armed a genocide for over a year.
It is as communists theorists always predicted would happen. As capitalism falls, the capitalists embrace fascism.
You’re the kind of person that would watch a Republican eat the still-beating heart out of the chest of a child and ask why the Democrats are letting this happen, aren’t you?
Totally. Because as much as the Democrats would pretend to oppose it, they also would vote to fund it.
The “Resistance” Dems funded every one of Trump’s worst policies last time. You think they won’t do it again?
I’m just punching right. Blame the Democrats for standing there.
Might help to focus on the people actually causing the problems. Like the Republicans that currently have a trifecta.
Democrats are also causing the problems. That’s why I attack both Dems and Republicans.
If you look at the congressional vote to lift the ban on arming Nazis, you’ll see it had broad bipartisan support. Both parties are paving the way for fascism. Fight them both.
You’re defending the Republicans. You’re arguing that they aren’t responsible for the shit they’re currently doing because there are no adults in the room to stop them.
The Republicans are adults. They know what they’re doing. Blame them for their choices and their actions.
Nazism is an ideology, not a synonym for being complicit in a genocide.
Yes, Naziism is an ideology… that promotes the ideals of ethnic superiority and killing those deemed less than… such as with a genocide.
Bruh you’re in a taco is a sandwich territory. Good luck with that hill.
You’re in ‘defending Nazis’ territory. Go fuck yourself.
Oh yeah yeah, that’s how that works. Anything I don’t like is a Nazi, eh?
You are literally defending Democrats for allying with Nazis and committing genocide. This isn’t some wildly unrelated topic with a random Nazi accusation thrown in. You came into this defending Naziism.
Fuck off, fascist.
Yep I did all that. Mmm-hmm. Lmao
Get a life, dim bulb.
OK slow poke. You finally got there.
Always has been.
I think you’re forgetting the Southern Strategy.
The minds behind the Southern Strategy are the same who helped move conservative Democrat voters over to the Republicans during the 60s and solidified the voters into one of two camps: fascists and the rest. The fascists then used “law and order” and “prosperity over liberty” policy proposals to focus the party. Once Reagan took over and gave the overt cause of “make money at all costs”, it was the carcinogen that fueled antidemocratic ideologues. Imagine there are only a handful of media outlets and Rush Limbaugh is on half of them. It’s been a nightmare plunging into chaos since the early 90s.
Then add to it the expansion of the internet and the expectation of everything being free, making advertising revenue become the primary motivator for news companies rather than providing accurate information. Bias has always existed, and headlines have always included hyperbole, but the transition to internet advertising revenue meant insanity is what brought revenue, not reality.
Also we put the money guys in charge of companies when previously you kept the finance side away from the journalists so ypu gave the best news.
I just miss when all Limbauh would manage is an eyeroll film legitimate media.
That’s simply institutional racism which isn’t fascist per se and can be found in many nations.
Thank you for documenting the downfall.
Yeah, and what can we do about it?
