MAGA brain:

When you’re Trayvon Martin, you’re a dangerous thug who should have known better than to look suspicious (read: Black and wear a hoodie) in a predominately White neighborhood.

When you’re in your 20s and 30s and text slurs and extermination “jokes,” you’re just kids.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

If there are still people in your social circles who derided you for calling these people Nazis when it was already glaringly obvious (decades ago) drop them with prejudice. Especially if you are marginalized in any way.

They are the same people who will give you up to them.

There's a reason my police abolitionism is often expressed as "I don't call the cops because I don't want someone to roll up six hours later and shoot my dog" to folks I'm trying to warm up to the concept.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 1d

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.
www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

One of the most messed up parts of the "nazis are sexy and funny now" GQ article about Nick Fuentes is that it doesn't cite a single source or data point. It's all just vibes. I have no idea how something like this made it past an editorial team unless it was clearly a story they wanted to tell

traced this rumor across TikTok and Tumblr. I watched fancam edits, mapped accounts, and interviewed a dozen people in their twenties and early thirties, both people who’d made posts about Fuentes and those whose fandom was more private.

TikTok is where most outsiders misread the signal. Fuentes is extremely shareable — he basically speaks in soundbites. Every other line is a joke, and many of those jokes land. When they don’t, that in itself can be funny. His thick Chicago accent, his cartoonish tone of voice—the man was made for broadcasting, for better or worse.

It’s true that he has inspired a viral “sound” several times, but on TikTok that doesn’t equate to fandom. A sound is just a short audio clip that users layer under their own videos. It might come from a movie, a podcast, or a livestream; it doesn’t matter who said it. What matters is how easily it can be reused to set a mood or deliver a punchline. Popularity here measures remixability, not admiration. Serial killers, pedophiles caught red-handed, and random bystanders could theoretically all go viral this way. Fuentes happens to clip well.

There is a dedicated and TikTok-native Fuentes fandom, but searching through the misspellings and alternate tags that users reference him with (to avoid the filter TikTok uses to suppress content about him), only a few prolific editors dominate the results. The rest is noise—ephemeral accounts spun up around attention spikes.

The interviews I conducted reflect what the feeds suggested. Several sources said their very online friends, regardless of politics, share Fuentes clips because he’s funny. The same people said no one they know actually watches his multi-hour streams. One woman described him as “weirdly unhateable,” and suggested he’s a bit of a meme—another way of saying the trend is more of a joke than a nascent political shift.

There is, however, a small female fandom orbiting Fuentes, many of whom identify as being on the left. On Tumblr, a community cal…
