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!

What she means is that the GOP is facing the challenges that the Nazi party did in their time. Primarily, how do we convince the public to let us exterminate the undesirables?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

Nazi bitch complains about a Nazi problem?

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

That's like saying a beehive has a bee infestation.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

She hasn't figured anything out, she's aslo a nazi, but is trying to jump ship before it sinks all the way. Trust me there's going to be a LOT of people who were against this the 'whole time' suddenly popping up as the collapse intensifies.

[–] HaraldvonBlauzahn@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago

Am German. Can confirm.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 19 points 12 hours ago

Loomer figured it out? Loomer?! This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts.

Women on the right are always so shocked to find it's full of misogynists even when they play by the rules.

They won't ever respect a woman. No matter how hard she brown noses.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Don't take it the wrong way, guys.

She's probably saying this with pride.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Thanks jigsaw we will take that into consideration

[–] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I did nazi that coming....

Anne Frankly I am appalled by you not taking notice earlier.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The moron is way behind the curve. We have known this since Mango Mussolini's first term.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

No, no, it's simpler than that. She's lying about being surprised.

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

This is her maybe getting off the bus, saying "I just thought this was going to the mall..."

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

Remember, rats scatter off a sinking ship

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Maybe they slashed your tires, Laura.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

She's trying to out-pivot MTG. Don't let them get away with it.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah this halloween mask of a person is very well aware of who she's been playing with this whole time, she just thinks now is the time to cut bait on MAGA and set herself up as a new voice.

Just like the 17th century villagers she originally terrorized did, we gotta get the incantations just right for this one to go away.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

the 17th century villagers she originally terrorized

💀

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 43 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)


...She thinks this is a problem only just now.

[–] TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

“So many ‘conservatives’ are just salivating over the thought of being able to break windows and openly Sieg Heil in public,” she claimed. “These people hate Trump because he won’t Sieg Heil with them. He won’t scream Alle Juden Raus! And deep down, they hate him for that.”

She really doesn’t get it. Even trump is smart enough to know even he doesn’t have the latitude to “openly Sieg Heil.” The mask has slipped so far from right wing faces that his dumbest supporters think it’s now fine to openly fly their Nazi colors, but the heritage foundation and the like (kochs, Murdoch, et al) are trying to slam on the brakes and pull them back from the brink. But this is a runaway train and she may be right that we’ll have an open Nazi party in ten years time. But she doesn’t seem to grasp the nuance of what’s happening.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

Yeah only Elon Musk can openly sieg heil ._.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 1 points 2 hours ago

But he's on the spectrum /s

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

He's protected on account of his imaginary wealth. It's all kinds of wrong but it is what it is.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

More rats sensing the ship is about to sink and scurrying off as fast as they can.

In a few years time, depending on what happens in the next year, you might think that the entire MAGA movement was a hallucination, as it will be next to impossible to find a single person who ever defended it, you won't see anyone who admits to ever having a bumper sticker or flag on their lawn, they will have all up and disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Nah. Loomer is a chronic attention seeker. She's just saying anything that will get her name in the headlines one more time.

In a few years time, depending on what happens in the next year, you might think that the entire MAGA movement was a hallucination

They've straight up murdered people en mass. They've "doubled Gitmo" with their concentration camps in Honduras and El Salvador and God only knows where. That's not something you can just undo or walk away from.

If MAGA feels like a hallucination in another few years, it is only because of a massive cover-up by the Still Extremely Fascist media. It will be a prelude to another fascist surge and another wave of totalitarian violence.

We thought the same thing with Bush and the reublicans in his day, and then the Tea party happened. We thought it again with the Tea Party. Then Trump happened. I think the tiki torch guys from Charlottesville are more likely to take over the party than to slink back into the shadows.

Republican politicians aren't leading their base into the crazy, they are holding the crazy back from the rest of us.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

You think this is "holding back"? We have death camps in Florida. We have people, citizens even, getting deported to countries they aren't citizens of, or have never lived in. Fuck, my guy, it sure could get worse, but they're not holding back very much, are they.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Uhhh. No. They think the crazies are useful idiots so they platform them and use them to get more power. Then they only disavow if it becomes politically expedient to do so.

So, not "holding back" so much as "actively garnering support for until it isn't valuable to do so any more"

Hey, guys. I think MAGA might be... bad?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know it's bad when the nazi mouthpiece says there are too many nazis in the nazi party.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago

We need to find the guy responsible!

[–] grue@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago
[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 138 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Finally noticed the skull on her hat, did she?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 36 points 1 day ago

It's peak irony that she would excempt herself from the nazi problem.

But in the end this is still good news - every tiny bit of coherence lost in the MAGA movement. Infighting. Yay!

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago

Is her issue that there's not enough?

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 day ago

I like how she conveniently left out anything related to actual GOP policy and then had to insult Muslims for no reason. Call me crazy, but something tells me they're gonna continue having a Nazi problem.

[–] human@slrpnk.net 19 points 1 day ago

"The GOP has no moral clarity right now"

😂😂😂😂😂

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

LOL, Laura Loomer:

  1. Says it's not about Israel

I'm thinking she is only saying this now because even if she saw all the Nazi shit before ( and seriously, how could you not?) she was willing to overlook all that as long as the GOP was sufficiently loyal to the very worst shit that Israel was up to. Now that there are a few cracks in that front, she's now worried about all the obvious rampant Nazi shit in her party.

It seems like the thing that bothers her is that people won't vote for Nazi's, not that, you know, racism or genocide is a problem.

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 1 points 15 hours ago

God damn I always forget just how ugly she is

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

She's achieving self awareness!

America used to know how to deal with Nazis back in the 1940s...

They've had that problem for at least 50 years. It's just been really fucking obvious for the past 12.
