Trump just doesn't use a Dog whistle and has gently caress all invested in the Republican party. He's just saying what every Republican says behind closed doors, but out in the open because he could give a gently caress who he leaves in his wake and he doesn't care if he totally exposes everything the Republicans actually believe.

CommieGIR posted:Where's our McCarthy "At long last, have you no sense of decency?" moment? Pages ago at this point (thread moves fast when the President shits his Nazi diapers at an unrelated press conference), but I was just thinking this. Part of me feels like we've already had twelve of them, and for some reason, it just didn't take the air out of his tires.

I think it's clear all Republicans are ok with all of this, but only one is batshit crazy and stupid enough to put it on front street.

I mean, Kale is definitely right about Trump's "us vs. them" mentality, and how a lot of what Trump does is informed by his attempts to get his supporters to destroy the people he sees as his "enemies." It's just that he is also a white supremacist and neo-Nazi sympathizer. Both are true, and acting the way Trump has requires both to be true.

The most insane part of this to me is his inability/unwillingness to manage messaging. I'm sure there's a way to word-smith his poo poo-heel position into something that at least wouldn't come accross as siding with the Nazis, (I certainly won't take a crack at it, I don't feel like burning my keyboard afterwards) but he simply cannot be bothered. It just boggles my mind.

Has anyone compiled a list of Twitter/email addresses of the CEOs still on Trump's council? Shouldn't we be spreading those to make sure they know the heat they are facing?

It's not a defense I just think he sees the world entirely in an us vs them zero sum game where the only thing that matters is getting even with his enemies now that he's president.

boner confessor posted:don't buy a gun, they're more dangerous to yourself and your family than they are to others. more than half of all gun deaths in the US are suicides or accidental shootings This is just the worst goddamned advice under the present circumstances. Martial Arts do not make you capable of loving defending yourself against an opponent who is legit trying to kill you. If you are genuinely concerned about yours safety get a gun, take some courses, and practice regularly. Yeah, if we weren't facing a literal Nazi takeover of the country then the odds are that a given individual is more likely to shoot themselves than an aggressor. Let me make this strait to the loving point. poo poo is not normal and the old rules no longer apply. If you are inexperienced with survival situations against pathological individuals then I strongly recommend you that do no inject harmful idiocy like the above post into serious discussions. TLDR: If you don't understand pathological people then right now the best thing you can do is sit down and shut up.

Sessions, for example, is also a colossal racist, but he wouldn't do something like this, because sessions isn't consumed by self-obsession.

It's very good that the veil of "moral equivalency" is forever shattered. There's Nazis on one side and everyone else on the other.

Wait a minute. the nazis "had a permit" and the people who "hate nazis" didn't. Why weren't the nazis relegated to a "Free Speech Zone"? Isn't that how this works? Problem solved.
