Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Oh, you liberals, calling everyone who does Nazi salutes, or wears Nazi tattoos, or calls for Nazi genocides, or constantly advocates Nazism, a Nazi. It's so tiresome!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Nazi.

Also, I'm a progressive, thanks. I know you fuckers, (both liberals and conservatives) have forgotten that we exist, but there are way more than two parties despite the failure of FPTP.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That video was perfect. And yes, conservatives and liberals alike tend to disregard the left, but they've lived under decades of propaganda and an electoral system specifically intended to entrench power within a very narrow political range.

Goddamnit, here we go again.

What is it with the right-wing fascination with Jews?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

You could ask the same question about POC, women, gays, trans, non-xtians, immigrants, liberals....

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They have a lot of existing support for antisemitism, it's been established over centuries, most people who hate Jewish people nowadays have no idea why. Fascists and assholes just want any excuse to have an enemy to hate.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm certain there were Jews who voted for the fucking Nazis in 1932 and now we have history repeating itself in the US of A. WTF!

The organization primarily attracted members from the anticommunist middle class, small business owners, self-employed professionals such as physicians and lawyers, national conservatives, and nationalist World War I veterans, many of whom believed that Nazi antisemitism was only a rhetorical tool used to "stir up the masses."

Oof

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, sounds very familiar doesn't it?

"He doesn't really mean it" How many times have we all heard something like that, often followed with a pivot to talking about Gaza (for some on the left) or tax cuts/"great at business" (for the right).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_collaboration_with_Nazi_Germany

I don't imagine this is in any way a comprehensive list, but these people were definitely Jews, and collaborating with The Third Reich. I would suspect they all voted along party lines to prove their "loyalty." The same as today.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yowza. After the ADL defended musks blatant and obvious nazi salutes, how are they gonna sugar coat this?

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The ADL tomorrow:

Well, akshually, the final solution is just an idea and that's probably not what the actual Nazi meant by his direct reference to actual Nazi terminology, and we support antisemitism in all its democratic forms.

But please leave Jared alone, because trump said it was mean.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So when do the adults in the room start the checks and balances?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

They all got primaried or assassinated for being "too radical left wing," the same as they eventually did to Bernie Sanders, Martin Luther King Jr, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

It was always going to go in this direction. Whether it’s the “final solution” for Jews, Muslims, LGBTQ, trans or Latin people - it was always going this way. Fascist are gonna fash.

Meanwhile, dipshits fall for the same bunch investigating "antisemitism" at campuses. What a fucking load that is.

[–] RandamuMaki@mstdn.social 19 points 1 week ago

@Redditsux It's the same fascism as before.

[–] belastend@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 week ago

This is the same guy who shouted out a news station for hosting a certain contest: "If you can prove 6 million jews died, we will give you 6 million dollars."

[–] 8000gnat@reddthat.com 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

my parents listen to this guy

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can call him a nazi scumbag here. Only certain federations are pro-nazi scum.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

Oh I wasn't trying to hide much of anything, I was going for a cheerleader style chant.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m sure trump will be all over this, like he was with Columbia.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 1 week ago

He'll invite him to Mar-a-Lago for dinner.

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 15 points 1 week ago

The right hand hates the Jews openly while the left hand is deporting people protesting Jews.

What a big tent they have built for themselves.

[–] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

How about the final solution to the nazi TV pundit problem? 🤔

Maybe there's a place we can send them all.

[–] Late2TheParty@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Oh, this guy is a BIG OLE idiot. Gotcha.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

You know, I've developed a twitch in my left eye the last week or so, and I feel like every day, I see more reasons why that might be.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Well he seems like a kind and personable fellow.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I'm supposing they'll have to wait until donvict passes away or is Amendment 25'ed before they'd be able to deport his daughter and son-in-law? Maybe that's why he's talking about 2 years out?

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

“No, no, I was talking about remodeling to add a little space to my lebensraum— I mean, living room.”

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

But, uh, the nazis stuff is fake, amirite?

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think we should deport me to the Amalfi Coast or the Cayman Islands. I’m a snake handler who works with voodoo priestesses. I’ll convert to Judaism if they’re willing to deport me to a tropical paradise where all news and social media sites are inaccessible except one day a week.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do they have volunteer positions in Antarctica? I’ll clean the beakers and be nice to penguins.
