He regularly supports antisemitic conspiracy theories (most notably stuff about Soros and the "Great Replacement") on his website while also parroting the bad-faith accusations of antisemitism against pro-Palestinian activists (and he has also made a trip to Israel to rehabilitate his image aided by several pro-Israel figures).

It's amazing how "state's rights" people can almost recognize that the USA, as a settler-colony, requires the use of violence to enforce its borders and laws, but then thinks that magically stops being true when you call it a "state government" instead of a "federal government".

How do Democrats still not understand that giving concessions to the "merits" of fascist rhetoric (like they're doing with trans people as well) will never make people think you're more "reasonable", and will always further normalize hatred? Or do they understand it and that's exactly why they're doing it? They've done it so many times that it has to be a conscious decision at this point, right?

Two months after a prominent conservative activist and fundraiser was caught hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes, leaders of the Republican Party of Texas have voted against barring the party from associating with known Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers.

In a 32-29 vote on Saturday, members of the Texas GOP’s executive committee stripped a pro-Israel resolution of a clause that would have included the ban. In a separate move that stunned some members, roughly half of the board also tried to prevent a record of their vote from being kept.

There is no better representation of US politics right now than being pro-Israel while simultaneously refusing to stop associating with Nazis.

I gotta say, comparing their desire to mindlessly consume without ever having to see anything that doesn't cater to them to the situation of the lotus eaters is pretty funny. What happened to being free-thinking intellectuals who aren't afraid of hurt feelings?

I can barely comprehend the sheer stupidity, xenophobia, and warmongering bloodlust that went into that statement. Maybe it's just a recency bias or because I'm way too tuned in this time, but it feels like the news and every political institution has gone off the rails beyond anything I've seen before. Even more so than they did for the war in Ukraine and the 2020/2016 elections. Was it really this bad in the post-9/11 US as well?

inshallah Tony Evers somehow finds a way to fund trans healthcare for the next 400 years by vetoing individual words on the bill.
