THE DEM DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON
The Federalist giving quite a lot of page space to "we should abandon conservatism and become out and out fascists"

https://thefederalist.com/2022/10/20/we-need-to-stop-calling-ourselves-conservatives/

quote:

To stop Big Tech, for example, will require using antitrust powers to break up the largest Silicon Valley firms. To stop universities from spreading poisonous ideologies will require state legislatures to starve them of public funds. To stop the disintegration of the family might require reversing the travesty of no-fault divorce, combined with generous subsidies for families with small children. Conservatives need not shy away from making these arguments because they betray some cherished libertarian fantasy about free markets and small government.

quote:

In other contexts, wielding government power will mean a dramatic expansion of the criminal code.

quote:

On the transgender question, conservatives will have to repudiate utterly the cowardly position of people like David French, in whose malformed worldview Drag Queen Story Hour at a taxpayer-funded library is a “blessing of liberty.” Conservatives need to get comfortable saying in reply to people like French that Drag Queen Story Hour should be outlawed; that parents who take their kids to drag shows should be arrested and charged with child abuse; that doctors who perform so-called “gender-affirming” interventions should be thrown in prison and have their medical licenses revoked; and that teachers who expose their students to sexually explicit material should not just be fired but be criminally prosecuted.

To those who worry that power corrupts, and that once the right seizes power it too will be corrupted, they certainly have a point. If conservatives manage to save the country and rebuild our institutions, will they ever relinquish power and go the way of Cincinnatus? It is a fair question, and we should attend to it with care after we have won the war.

PeterWeller posted:

Tucker Carlson was attacking MSNBC for "planning an anti-white genocide."

He said the cause of the Rwandan genocide was a radio station airing constant attacks on the Tutsis, attacks such as "They have way too much power. They're too privileged. They're greedy. They're bigoted. They're racists. They're dangerous." This caused the Hutu to get mad at the Tutsis and blame them for all the problems in society and then they acted on their violent urges.

Since MSNBC is saying the exact same thing about Republicans, clearly they are trying to recreate the Rwandan genocide in the US with whites as the victims.

Because the right wing is definitely not portraying an ethnic group as dangerous violent criminals who are causing rising crime and bringing tons of drugs into our country, not at all, how silly of you to even suggest that.

The Republican mainstream is hilariously disconnected from reality. My CHUD relatives have gotten progressively more insane as the party lurches into QAnon territory and it is… pretty hosed up honestly. Like, I feel like they are pretty typical rural white idiots (college educated even, so probably a cut above), so as they are getting onboard with “Dems literally r drinking baby blood” I’m getting scared. Not really looking forward to sharing a country with these maniacs.

Ironically after getting fired from CBS, Logan was then fired from Fox for calling Fauci a nazi.

Fox is willing to keep Tucker on for saying the same exact things that they've fired several women for saying. Diamond & Silk got fired, not for promoting covid conspiracy theories and claiming that the government was inflating the numbers, but for doing so while black:
