If you hold any position of leadership in the republican party it's on you to affirmatively prove that your brain isn't oozing with nazi filth

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Liberals just heard of Groypers like 2 weeks ago. We were on the meme wars front lines ridiculing them relentlessly half a decade ago

One of the things that our political class refuses to admit even though it's obviously true is that Twitter is very obviously radicalizing many American elites into full-bore white supremacy

"The richest man in the world and the owner of the most influential social media site in US politics is a nazi who openly supports and amplifies other nazis" would, on its face, seem to be rather newsworthy!

Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

Sorry that soldiers flying that flag destroyed the Nazis; responsible for 2 out of 3 nazi casualties, thereby winning the war and liberating from fascism. That must make you so gosh darn foot-stomping mad!

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal

The structural disadvantage people have against billionaires is that destroying journalistic organizations is a rounding error on their wealth, and destroying it is plan B and preferable to letting it do actual journalism.

When I was in school, my English teacher told me that I would never be a published author. Well, 25 years later, and after dozens of drafts, re-writes, and rejection letters from publishing houses, I'm happy to announce that that teacher has finally died.

Replies are turned off so I’ll reply here: I offered multiple examples of what the democrats could have done instead of nothing to stymie fascist takeover in the thread. OP chooses to always quote reply “to annoy me” so it’s almost impossible to follow the conversation in context.

I just wanna see what he legitimately thinks. I want to be certain this is what he’s actually offering.

I’ve been arguing with a bunch of liberals and what has become clear is that they *genuinely* think “win every election forever” is the best strategy to stop fascism.
