The GOP grappled with how best to deal with the Osama elimination in a way that would, somehow, make Obama seem either not responsible for it or having been forced to do it by others. This backfired as nobody cared about the spin and were just reminded that Obama had killed the boogeyman the right had been shrieking about for a decade by that point.

This may be referring to the incident referenced here:


In said incident, two marines were beaten by Antifa activists after they responded in the affirmative to being asked if they were 'proud', which they thought was a reference to 'the few, the proud, the Marines'. The Antifa activists were actually referring to the alt-right organization Proud Boys and viciously beat them.

This is, of course, exactly what the alt-right wants. They want their opponents to become paranoid and violent. Alt-right dogwhistles don't just create plausible deniability on their part; they also result in paranoia and misunderstandings that make their opponents look crazy and fascist.

What's with the proliferation of straight up nazi cartoons lately? Stonetoss, this pumpkin face one, superhappyfuntime or whatever it's called, another one I can't remember where the art is kinda like the vegan comic...I feel like I've seen a lot of white supremacist dressed up with cutesy art around lately.

Yes, because if you agree the sky is blue then Putin is controlling your mind and it's only a matter of time before you begin to believe utterly insane and laughable things like "endless war is bad", "overthrowing South American democracies is wrong and harmful even to US national security", "the surveillance state and carceral state shouldn't exist", and "America's lip service to human rights abroad is a lie", truly deranged stuff.

If a Russian tells you the sky is blue, you say "No sir I am an American and if my country says the sky is red white and blue with stripes and stars then I'll defend my American sky to the death!"

Someone last year was considering compiling them. Redpanels and Stonetoss are definitely the same guy, the rest are insane troglodytes trying to secretly spread their messages with varying levels of subtlety and almost universally no success.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

It's a group, and although I can't prove it without digging up and actually joining whatever discord/gab setup they're using, I'm pretty confident they are or were coordinating. They continuously promote each other and each have separately staked out social media spaces, all of which were created during the same period. As you say, only the redpanels/stonetoss artist (and the hehefunny guy, imo) have had any success getting crossover.

edit: ugh, some very simple googling found another in their orbit that's even more pornographic and pointlessly miserable than the others. This ain't a hole worth throwing myself down.

I'm trying to put together a group project aimed at explaining these guys - methods, strategy, goals - but have a bit of a shortage of volunteers willing to shift through propaganda.

Steel tariffs are driving cars prices up.

Trump insists that new trade deals with Mexico (which manufactures cars) will provide the revenue by which Mexico is “paying” for the wall.

Trump is a complete idiot who doesn’t understand that rising costs in trade deals and tariffs are actually paid for by consumers.

Ramirez occasionally lambasts Trump for being an idiot non-Republican on trade/economic issues.
