And as much as I don’t want to veer into a political discussion, the time of watching from the sidelines is officially over. I’ll give you one second and one guess as to which party no longer feels the need to hide their horrific, sub-intellectual, xenophobic, antisemitic, homophobic, anti-trans beliefs.
They will whine, cry, and cheat to attain their goals, but in the end, common decency and critical thinking must prevail. We must stop their disgusting rhetoric of hatred now. We MUST vote every single one of them out office before it’s too late. Let’s call them out for their blind allegiance to a wannabe dictator. We must prevent them from passing more laws that restrict our democracy and the freedoms therein. The election is coming - vote them all out!

"I don’t want to veer into a political discussion" - Nah, we're all involved whether we like it or not. The old outdated chestnut of "never discuss politics or religion" left us facing a wave of religious fascism. When you get to the point that some people have to make very sure what state they're in before taking a piss on a roadtrip or face prison time, just existing becomes political.

The USA needs to stop them before they get in power. Nazis with nuclear weapons is not a good idea. Remember, the RoTW sided with Stalin to crush the Nazis and Axis nations, they're that bad.

Good luck America, you're charging full-speed into a Nazi dictatorship run by sociopath fascists with double-digit IQs
GodAintReal
Good luck, rest of the world. One of the global superpowers is charging full-speed into a Nazi dictatorship, has nukes (and a desire to use them), and is about to really start feeling the impact of climate collapse. Trust me, American values at their best are built on a foundation of taking. When we are desperate? Hungry? Cold? Thirsting and running out of hope? We can be the worst animals - and that’s without Christian Nationalists at the helm. The whole world will be a target.

This is what happens when you decide to give Nazis a voice. And allow things like the daughters of the Confederacy to exist.
I think it is about time to teach people that freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence.
Yep.

In times like this, you cannot sit on the sidelines. You have to pick a side. You have to choose democracy or fascism. If you don't decide, you are a fascist. And then you will not get to make any more decisions ever again. They will be made for you. By people like her. Please fucking vote.

Honestly, good luck with that. But remember, they say the quiet bit out loud because they know it will resonate with a big enough demographic of Americans that it won't hurt them that much.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
It'll get some of them excited and acting on their own, which is why hate speech needs to be illegal. I wonder if Americans are starting to see that yet.
Lovingimpaler
By driving away the relatively small margins with the "quiet out loud" bits, the MAGAs dig their own graves politically, since 2018. Their rhetoric will get increasingly extreme as trials and campaigning heat up. There will be convictions. Trump is (thankfully) burning the GOP to the ground and will not stop.
BrockEffingSamson
Or, like...because they believe their own propaganda about how popular their position is, despite the fact that they are a tiny minority who can only win due to cheating, the electoral college, and the fact that they are fanatics who turn up to vote.

In Massachusetts? No, unless it’s for something uncontested that she found an unopposed race to enter in, for railroad commissioner or something useless. If she’s running for house or senate, even at the state level, not federal, she won’t even make the first cut and be the (automatic losing) Republican candidate

She’s clearly very mentally ill, like Kanye. Also had brain cancer, which maybe caused some damage. Either way, her crazy ass needs to be kept MILES away from government buildings.

Been saying it for years, but this is a good time for everyone to think about where the limit is for them before they turn into direct action. And I don't mean just protesting anymore. Is it OK that there are politicians elected who want to eliminate people based on ethnicity or gender? Is it OK if trans people are criminalized, as long as it's not the Jews? Is exiling too much - or would it need to be labor camps?

Eleshar24
This is a good time for everyone to think about where the limit is for US and where WE should start taking direct actions against these people. This lady is basically openly threatening to make a segment of a population illegal and to deport another segment of population.

The problem there is that thanks to the culture war, people who should be practicing their 2nd Amendment right and buying a gun aren't because we've framed it as something only backwards, redneck hicks do.
In other words, that people that are aware of and need to fight this bullshit are not picking up the arms to do so.
stealthredux
No group or class of people can be exiled by way of asking nicely, and monsters like her know this. They relish this, because those that will not go willingly will be forced, and those that cannot be forced, will be killed.
She and christofascists like her are holding a gun to the head of living, breathing Americans, and direct action against them in kind objectively constitutes self defense by the American people, and humanity at large.

Boatsntoes
Hahahah
StillWittyMFs
Not really. The Church blamed all Jews as Christ killers for well over a millennia. Not until Vatican II, in the 60s, did that case to be doctrine. We are also supposed to be hated for not accepting him as the messiah, obviously. Hating Jews is about the most common Christian trait I can think of, historically.
spinballwizardmtg
Because Jesus definitely wasn't a jew... smh

No. The Christian right would exile Jesus if they ever met him. They wouldn’t like the brown immigrant who was a proponent of welfare.

I'm not sure about KKK, but it does have a twisted connection to and need for the reigns of power. That was never what the Messiah's teaching was about - if anything it was about sacrificing power for the good of those that are kicked out/marginalized/suffering. It hinges on that sacrifice of power. Modern Evangelicalism with its manifest destiny has it completely backwards.

An *astounding* number of them are only "pro-Israel" b/c they think that Israel existing & rebuilding a Temple/building a 3rd Temple = a precondition &/or herald of End Times/Revelation/Rapture (exact timing/coincidence is debated). source: an ill-conceived period during my teen years during which I dated (what turned out to be a v conservative) preacher's son.

That's just Nazi rhetoric alot of people forget the Nazis were Christians
AgainstMethod
The Nazi party was secular.
Radix865
The party itself was not, they even started making their own religion by taking stuff from nordic and germanic myths but it never really caught on.
It's more that Germany itself was religious and the nazis were not inclined to shake their boat as harshly as the Soviets. Though they did arrest and execute quite a few priests who were sheltering the jewish.
Th3Oddfather
This sorta misses the point. The Nazi movement wasn't a christian ideology, but used christianity to further their goals because Germany was a christian nation. Christian nationalists in the USA seek to impose their form of christianity on a mostly secular public. They're similar because they're authoritarian nationalists more than anything.
TiredOldBroad
The Nazis, including good ol’ Adolf, were pretend Christians. Their endgame was to abolish any religion like the Soviets did. Christianity was used as a tool to dupe the people into being ok with what was happening.
Tumescentpie
There is no such thing as a pretend Christian. It is a cult. You either say you are or say you aren't. And the nazis were very devote Christians. Give me any proof at all that they weren't.

I don’t know why this got downvoted. Adolf was superstitious, not religious. The ubermensch and the idea of Aryan perfection was mostly based around the idea that they were the descendants of Atlanteans. Dude was a nut job. His obsession with the occult should tell you right out the gate that religion isn’t what it was about.
Tumescentpie
Gott mit uns is probably a good starting point. The nazis were religious and Hitler may have been just as Christian as Trump, but there is no test to get in that cult. You just say you are and you are. That is how that works. And Christianity stole from the "occult " whole cloth. Literally no fucking clue what you are talking about other than some indoctrinated view point, my guess is that you are Christian or otherwise impacted by their bullshit.

Weird stretch. I’m not. If you had to call me something, athiest fits best. That being said; have a read. While he was Christian at the outset, by the end he basically said it was bullshit.

indiscriminatedumpvoter
Hot take: Punching Nazis=/=Stopping Nazis. It’s okay to compromise a rule like violence is wrong if you’re using violence to stop violence. But punching a Nazi in the face isn’t stopping a Nazi. It’s radicalizing someone who’s already radicalized. If a moral system justifies awful acts consistently, it can’t be a basis for moral deliberation. (1/2)
indiscriminatedumpvoter
I’m not saying punching a Nazi is awful (get that quota. Punch those jerks), just that it’s important to understand you’re not on a crusade against Nazism. You’re just making us all feel better (which is fine too, I guess). (2/2)
NergalJester
You're absolutely right. Punching them doesn't stop them. Setting them on fire is much more effective.
MyNameIsBadSorry
Correct thats why we punch them with cars and bullets!
damogen
They talk about their ideology and go on marches in order to spread their message and recruit more nazis. Punching them makes them shut up and stay home. So I agree, you won't convert a nazi by punching them, but you will stop them from recruiting new nazis.
indiscriminatedumpvoter
It really doesn’t. It DOES make everyone feel better because we all grew up with the idea that we should bully the bullies, and I’m okay with that. But it does absolutely nothing productive. Violence never does. Even if you manage to “stop them from marching”, they still have Facebook and Twitter. Now they’re going to spread stories about how they’re a victim and radicalize people against the “violence of the left” or some other bullshit. Again; punch away. Just do it with context.
GriffinMann41
Well, I mean if they die they can't exactly be productive nazis anymore so it's still a win-win in my book
