Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

They’re not really much debate going on in this community. 95% of all posts are just “lol republican dumb Nazis” and every comment that’s not agreeing is downvoted to hell.
I mean, they typically are dumb nazis.
Perfectly proves my point.
This community is just “if you’re not “vote blue no matter who” you’re a dumb nazi”.
Since I don’t live in the States, I’m not voting blue. But I still think Republicans are dumb nazis.
Am I an outlier, or are objective facts tough for you to swallow?
Maybe you’ll find more friends on Truth Social 👋🏻
You guys keep proving the point, over and over again.
The point, which will always be lost on you, is that we see no reason to engage, or take seriously, an ideology based on lies, hate, and oppression—one that cultivates division, stupidity, and has zero actual redeeming values that do not involve restricting human rights.
Nobody owes your archaic political views a platform. We—and I speak for the proudly 'woke' progressive leftists, who value the rights of others and believe in equality and diversity—are sick of your self-centred psychopathy.
There are plenty of platforms for you to circlejerk with feeble minded xenophobes while sucking off your grifting conservative overlords.
If you can't respect the rights of minorities, the poor, the disenfranchised, then you have no value to me. You're either conning others or being conned. That's the extent of your "values."
You're all just weak, scared little children who have the same capacity for self-reflection as a fucking turnip.
Every argument is disingenuous; every political position is based on bad science and lies. And you still complain like whiney little bitches when you get shunned by the rational free-thinking majority.
Go and wipe that drool off your chin with your Pauline Hanson flag, you mouth-breathing regressive bogan Nazi.
Yes, point proven.
You’ve mistake me for a republican and or a conservative. I’m neither.
I’m against echo chambers and “my side and their views are right by default, all others are wrong” views. That’s what this community seems to be, unquestionably. Look at everything that’s posted - it’s all anti-republican/conservative.
Again - your entire post just proves my point.
I'm a leftist, and I'm "mistaken" for a republican all the time. It's projecting. A lot of what is accused of by my party they are guilty of themselves. They're crazy if they don't think their own rhetoric isn't just as bad or worse than what Republicans currently say.
The brainwashing into being able to dehumanize others is horrific. Yet here we are.
The current "left" seems to be "as soon as you disagree with any of my points, you're a MAGA Trumper Republican Nazi".
You can be trying to fight climate change, want all people to have equal rights, be pushing for a UBI, supporting reparations for indigenous people, but the second you dare say "hey maybe we should just keep the books telling you how to have anal sex away from the 10 year olds?" you're instantly a nazi.
Politics and vitriol aside, well done on winning the Ashes. The fifth test starting tomorrow should be a cracker.
Cheers. Pretty shitty way to win tbh. I hate draws in a sport where a match has gone for 5 bloody days.
Teach me your ways of rhetoric senpai.
What objective facts do you have that most/all Republicans are nazis?
Nazi = Fascist. Trump= Fascist. Trump= Republican. Republicans= Fascist. Republicans = Nazi. We can’t wait for the evidence of mass graves this time.
As though that's far enough to the right for him.
There’s always some right wing snowflake whining yet adding nothing. We’re all doing our part. You’re doing yours. Maybe you can make a joke about identifying as a helicopter now, and you’ll be done for the rest of the year.
You got it.
In most democracies you don't have the toxic two party split ala US. There are intelligent conservaties, but the Republican party is ... kinda wild.
Think the issue is more with republicans than with the community
Again, proving the point.
If Republicans ever quit doin' nazi shit, people will quit pointin' it out.
There's already too many places where disingenuous support for nazi shit is welcome: reddit, facebook, threads, bluesky, truth social, 4chan, twitter, youtube comments, and far too many more.
Not everywhere has to be, and I hope the mods won't be swayed by the constant insufferable whining of people who won't shut up about how unhappy they are that everywhere isn't stormfront.
If people stop moving the goalposts on what "litteral Nazi shit" is, you'd find that most Republicans aren't literal nazis. Are there some? Yes. Do they make up a significant amount? Not eve close.
I'd say cheering when someone suggests eradicating a vulnerable minority is nazi shit. I'd say marching with nazis is nazi shit. I'd say carrying a nazi flag is nazi shit.
Welcoming nazis into your party? That's nazi shit.
Where is this happening? Firstly who is suggesting it, and secondly who is cheering it?
Michael Knowles advanced “eradicating” trans people at CPAC. And the people there cheered.
That’s taken completely out of context and you know it.
It’s not calling for trans people to be eradicated, it’s calling for the current trans ideologies, where if you’re a girl who likes trucks you must be trans and therefore must be rushed on to puberty blockers and get your breast removed, to be eradicated.
No one is calling for trans people to be eradicated as in “killed”. That’s what Nazis did - they literally killed people by the millions.
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”. If we wait for them to explicitly express trans-genocide, it will be too late.
No one is suggesting or calling for a genocide. It’s not happening. It’s not going to happen. You’re just fear mongering to try and paint people you don’t like as Nazis.
I swear some of you want an actual genocide so you can go “see I told you!!!”
I call a spade a spade ♠️. Ask a trans person what they think Knowles meant. You won’t. Because you know what they’d say. And you don’t care , because you assert your ignorance as truth.
Trump got 74 million votes. They’re Nazis. They may not know it or admit it, but they are. If you vote for fascism, you are a fascist. Giving people the benefit of the doubt or a second chance is what caused Trump in the first place. It can happen here.
So everyone that voted for trump is a Nazi? Everyone that voted for trump wants the jews and all non blonde hair blue eyed people to be rounded up and killed?
You guys really are killing the meaning of these words. No party is promoting fascism. One party is promoting silencing their opponents though, which is a big element of fascism. Can you guess which one it is? Hint - not who you want it to be.
Trump being elected was a combination of the democrats being so out of touch with the general population that they thought just paying millionaire celebrities to shill for Clinton would resonate with the average joe. They thought that neglecting half the population would work, while also demonizing them. The fact that trump got elected should tell you that the democrats were half the problem at least, because it got to the point that people would rather a terrible meme worthy business man with the worst wig and fake tan in the world be president than the competition.
The majority of people in here are just so completely clueless on how far gone they are in their bias, it's insane.
This thread has a lively debate. That seems to be contrary to your characterization. I do understand why fascist propaganda and talking points don’t go over well here though. It’s probably upsetting to not get a lot of support.
Not really. It's got a lot of one side screaming that people they have decided are nazis hate being called nazis though.
From where I'm sitting, it looks like Republicans pop in and whine that people keep calling them nazis for doin' nazi shit, and then act even more offended when people elaborate on exactly what sort of nazi shit that Republicans are doing.
Do people just not understand how unpopular opinions work?
I upvoted for controversy.
I brought this exact issue up with the moderators of c/politics and they dont care. In fact one of the moderators (yoBuckStopsHere) is the top poster of all the tabloid articles that have little to nothing to do with politics. Hes trying to curate a community that vilifies one particular party. Its sad.
Yeah this really should be c/democrats, or more specifically c/republicansarenazis
👍
To be fair, the US GOP is dancing closer and closer to fascist nazism day by day
