The Nazification of America

Exactly! The fact that people think they didn’t is a sign they haven’t quite understood the banality of evil. Which is probably a contributing factor to thinking “it can’t happen here”

Kevin Kruse should know better, since he’s like… a historian… yes, an Americanist, but he’s studied the resistance to civil rights in the south. :woman_shrugging:

I have seen more men discuss far-right conspiracy theories in class this semester than in all my past classes combined. They’ve also more aggressively and emotionally challenged what I teach - as opposed to engaging in intellectual debate

I worry far more about them than any peaceful protestor

I noticed recently that the house on Green Bay Road just a little south of the Illinois / Wisconsin border (in other words very firmly in the USA during the time of traitors) is no longer flying one of those stupid joined USA / “confederate” flags anymore and has actually lost all of its former MAGA signs and flags.

This has remained consistent over the last several times I’ve passed by, so either the person who put them up finally pulled his head out of his ass or he died. I honestly don’t care which of these resulted in this outcome.

Fun fact for those who don’t know: Green Bay Road is an original Native trade route that ran from Chicago to Green Bay, and it still follows the original route (mostly), close but not directly alongside Lake Michigan.

I’m starting to wonder if all that Botox and the ridiculous amount of fillers is an attempt to fool facial recognition. She’s an escaped felon from another country who entered illegally.

In those countries, you wouldn’t be around to tweet this bullshit, Laura, because you’d have been shot when you jumped the fence at the California governor’s mansion in 2019.

Wait… what? :thinking: Did I miss some shitty thing she did? There are lots of shitty things she did in her life, to be fair to me.

Yep. She and her fellow neonazi travellers jumped the California Governor’s Mansion fence at night dressed as cartoon Mexicans to protest Newsom’s stance on immigration. They were arrested and charged with trespassing.

Not even Russia does that.

Should I know who Jesse Kelly is?

I think he’s some political pundit. Don’t know much more than that.

His message seems defeatist to me. No good choices? We will inevitably have a wingnut dictator? :thinking:

No. Looking him up, he’s a conservative talk radio host, so just the usual far right sewage creature. I doubt “let Trump act like a dictator or we’ll get a dictator” is really defeatist so much as hopeful for him.
