I mean I kinda get why but it is still wild that a movement identified as Christian White *Nationalist* movement centers around worshipping a leader of a party in other country who was the enemy of US and not that Christian (iirc many of Nazi were consciously non Christian?).
And while Dems affiliated activists often get (pretty valid) criticism of small tentism, it’s just remarkable how intentionally and proudly small tent they are.
like refusing women, any non white ppl, any Jewish or non Christian ig and that’s already removing more than 2/3 of the entire population. Like not even Nazi themselves were that hateful to women (even though they def forced racist pronatalism) and this should say something.
Like if your identity is that you hate 70% of ppl out there, you probably need to rethink about yourself…
I just listened to Eli Lake on his "Breaking History" podcast talking about the Democratic Socialists of America grudgingly accepting the communists into the fold. It is the mirror image of what this post is describing on the right. If you want spooky re-read this after listening to that.
I maintain that one of the main reasons there's been an explosion of outspoken and proud Nazi worshipers is because there's barely any World War II veterans left..
I'm 42, when I was a kid and a young person, the World War II veterans were old, of course, even then, but they were like your friends grandparents, or your grandparents. They were present, and vital, and cogent. And they're almost gone.
It would have been unthinkable when I was a kid to be openly proud of having Nazi tendencies when you also had to share a Thanksgiving dinner with a relative or two who were proud of the fact that they stacked German bodies waist high in France.

Tucker has to do this. Nick is obviously his illegitimate son. Just look at the photo! 🤣

Why would the Leopards leave the tent? It's theirs now.
Is it too much to hope that they burn the GOP house down and force a reasonable party to drag itself out of the ashes?
No, because they’ve also played a role in audience capture at FOX News and the general conservative media network.
