From the same party that wants to charge minority children as adults if they misbehave. Actual adults are just kids though.

Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

To be honest, this has always kinda been how the conservatives in the US talk when they're by themselves. I grew up in the 70s and heard it quite often from uptight assholes on the right.

It's not anything new, really. It's just that today the communications, instead of being face to face, are online and they leave records of their conversations.

Bigoted jackasses, gonna jackass.

Seconded, my experience as well.

They’re not joking. They’re literally starting a genocide and a fascist military police state in front of our eyes

For a decade, I have been begging anyone who will listen to believe Trump et al. whenever they threaten someone. I swear that the only time Trump tells the truth is when he promises violence, retribution, or lawbreaking.

I wish the media outlets would publish pictures of them they didn't pull from Linkedin but actual, social-media pics of these asswipes in their average, every-day, stained house-clothes and hoodies. It may seem superficial but these are the kinds of people who are deeply insecure about themselves and it would do far more damage than exposing their stupid conversations. They're NOT ashamed of what they said, we have to understand that. If anything they are delighting in the attention.

These are just 4chan trolls who ~~matured~~ got older and managed to get a foot in the door of actual political action. While I don't believe they are more serious in their beliefs than any 4chan self-proclaimed nazi, they are definitely going to empower the actual intelligent fascists and monsters who crave power. Showing them as basement trolls and tubby, pathetic social rejects would weaken them in the arena of aesthetic performance and aspirations for leadership in the party.

Yes, as always, the master race: fat, balding, and utterly insignificant without the inbred assurance that their skin color is some kind of achievement.

this is a perfect example of just because it's well known doesn't make it fact.

now that there is evidence, it's a fact.

Republicans are a party of Nazis.

What are watermelon people supposed to be?

[–] jdf038@mander.xyz 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Racist term for black Americans

[–] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Huh. Thanks. I have no clue how that even makes abstract sense. (bit I don't think I really care)

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Iirc (don't quote me on this) during reconstruction after the Civil War many black Americans had little land (if any) and watermelon was an easy crop for limited land. Racist white people then associated the fruit with those they hate.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

You got it, but you left out some details. The watermelon was actually a symbol of hope and prosperity for the recently freed slaves. The former slave owners, didnt like it. So, owning the media of the time, they started running ads showing caricatures of black people eating watermelon like animals. It took less then 10 years for the belief to become common that it was always a racist trope.

See also, fried chicken. That one came from Birth of a Nation. Both of these racist stereotypes persist today. I know the black community in America wanted to reclaim the N word, but IMO, they should have reclaimed the Watermelon as the symbol of freedom and perseverance that it once was for that first generation of freed slaves who over came massive hurdles to make a life for themselves.

To give you an idea of just how bad it was, there was a story about a woman who was a nanny for a young boy. When she was freed, and had to leave the boy cried and was utterly distraught that she was leaving. A few years later that young boy met his nanny again. The woman was overjoyed to see him and asked if he'd like to share some watermelon with him. His reply? "I dont eat n***** food.". Thats the power of the media, and then it was only a few newspapers. Just imagine what its doing to us all today.

Black people like watermelon. It's a stereotype

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Don't most people like watermelon?

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

The fried chicken and watermelon thing is the stupidest thing in the world. Everyone loves these things. Every single culture in the entire world has its own fried chicken dish.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago

Honestly I'm not a fan, but in America it is explicitly tied to racism for whatever reason

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 61 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Are those actual leaked quotes on the right?? Good lord!!

Thank you.

I’m stunned.

The right will boys will be boys this shit until the skies fill with the smoke of voters.

I thought the comics was clumsy satire. Turns out it's basically straight infographics at this point.

Great.

I think the worst part of all of this, for me, is how unfunny it all is. Like goddamn, they are so bad at humor.

Fucked that they don't even have to exaggerate. The literal quotes are so absurdly vile that they can't be outdone.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 58 points 4 days ago

So that's how I find out.

The OG reporting, for others like me.

"I love Hitler," Republicans, ~~probably~~ actually

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 42 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Its so weird to me how they can be both Zionist bootlickers and nazis at once, it's impressive

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 31 points 4 days ago

It makes more sense when you realise that it’s about oppression, power, and creating scapegoats. Hitler’s closest allies were the not-exactly-Aryan Japanese.

And it’s not like they won’t all turn on each other eventually, anyway. So why not have some strange bedfellows along the way?

So the party that likes the slavers, the crossed flag, that hates poor's, ... is a Nazi nest...

What are the news again?

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 51 points 4 days ago (2 children)

But why are the nazis hiding the Epstein files?

It says so much about the Republican Party that they're defending these limpdick fifth-graders instead of saying: "You know what? We don't like these pathetic little shit-stains either."

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

You should also be aware that the group accepts people up to age 40.

So the framing that these are children or teens is also misleading.
