Shut up, cousin-fucker.

Yep, I’ve seen several conservatives at this point trying to normalize nationalism. Their argument generally conflates patriotism and nationalism, then either strongly implies or directly accuses you of hating America if you’re not a nationalist.

Trump and company are, sadly, accurate representives of modern America.

Agreed. All you have to do is look at the committee roster: Gym Jordan, Louie Gohmert. Matt Gaetz. The worst of the worst. Doug Collins isn’t far behind.

This how we got Nazis the last time. People thought those of us warning of the danger were exaggerating.

The short answer to your last two questions is “yes” - the whole point of most hearings is to inform legislative improvement and drafting of future legislation.

Seriously, everybody should read her bio. She became a conservative because she tried to create a website for people to dox their enemies with, ran a Kickstarter campaign for it, got criticized and doxxed herself, then joined up with freaking Milo and Mike Cernovich after they defended her.

I love how the first video is from some right wing news site that claims Owens “shreds” the Democrats, and some GOP stooge talks about safe spaces, but play back her comments and make her listen to them, and all the sudden she doesn’t look so tough.

Owens is a 29 year old college dropout (from URI, of all places). A half dozen years ago she was a secretary at a financial firm. As recently as three or years ago she was firmly anti-GOP and anti-Trump. She’s grifting as fast as she can. She knows fuck-all about political and racial history. And yet here she is…

Yeah, no fucking way am I watching the videos they currently have embedded in this article.

I appreciate the argument upthread that (white) people in this country have to be confronted with the reality that white nationalist domestic terrorism is a problem.

For the GOP to “look” like they care those “others”* are being killed. As well as an attempt to push blame onto Dems.

Economically anxious terrorism. 

It is perfectly possible for any fully grown adult to hold two conflicting—but related—ideas in their head at the same time.

Sanity is not a prerequisite for that ability.

So that the Christchurch shooter could both think of Donald Trump as a “symbol of renewed white identity” and still hate any and all Jewish persons…

Economic anxiety. 

This. That was a curiously bad move. Not only for the clicks it gives them but exposure to their Patreon. I’m hoping Rafi takes out those links ASAP.

The New Zealand shooter said Trump was one of the people that inspired him. How the fuck can someone be left yet support the right? Ohhh... Because the moron didn’t understand the China part. See, China isn’t actually communist, never has been. It’s been a dictatorship, where the leader (see, communism has no leaders,…

(As multiple reportersflagged, a white nationalist YouTube channel was also able to make money off the stream.)

Can we not link to crazy conspiracy theorists’ youtube channels? Anyone viewing the videos you’ve been embedded is giving clicks to crazy people.
