Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Finally noticed the skull on her hat, did she?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 25 points 11 hours ago

It's peak irony that she would excempt herself from the nazi problem.

But in the end this is still good news - every tiny bit of coherence lost in the MAGA movement. Infighting. Yay!

I like how she conveniently left out anything related to actual GOP policy and then had to insult Muslims for no reason. Call me crazy, but something tells me they're gonna continue having a Nazi problem.

More rats sensing the ship is about to sink and scurrying off as fast as they can.

In a few years time, depending on what happens in the next year, you might think that the entire MAGA movement was a hallucination, as it will be next to impossible to find a single person who ever defended it, you won't see anyone who admits to ever having a bumper sticker or flag on their lawn, they will have all up and disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Nah. Loomer is a chronic attention seeker. She's just saying anything that will get her name in the headlines one more time.

They've straight up murdered people en mass. They've "doubled Gitmo" with their concentration camps in Honduras and El Salvador and God only knows where. That's not something you can just undo or walk away from.

If MAGA feels like a hallucination in another few years, it is only because of a massive cover-up by the Still Extremely Fascist media. It will be a prelude to another fascist surge and another wave of totalitarian violence.

I don't disagree with any of what you said, I am saying that they will absolutely try to walk away from it, from the ignorant base to the cowardly, evil grifters, pundits and politicians. And largely, it will work. Because American attention spans are shot from being overworked, overstimulated and under-nurished. This country elected Trump twice after some of the highest voter turnouts in history despite his first term being some of the lowest approval ratings of all presidents. That's not a sign of a healthy population.

There is a systemic problem in American society, and while a lot of it is manufactured and deliberately imposed on us, we can all do a lot more to combat it. It requires a lot more involvement and a lot more effort to remind people of atrocities and problems of the past that we're risking repeating over and over.

And I don't mean online either. We have to get a lot more active in the physical world. Talk to people, volunteer, do phone-banking for actual leaders in your community who represent you. We're all stuck on social media sites like this one, screaming into the void and thinking something will change or someone is coming.

Nobody is coming.

OMG! No she didn't!!! Has she grown a sliver of self-awareness? Who put a mirror before her? This could be a break-through!

[–] notsure@fedia.io 8 points 14 hours ago

...the brain needs frontal lobe development to achieve self-awareness, she is just reactionary...

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

I'm sure the Epstein files vote is a coincidence. She's just suddenly changed her mind for no reason.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 28 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You know it's bad when the nazi mouthpiece says there are too many nazis in the nazi party.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 hours ago

We need to find the guy responsible!

...She thinks this is a problem only just now.

[–] SpicyTaint@lemmy.world 25 points 14 hours ago
[–] Embargo@lemmy.zip 23 points 13 hours ago

Just wait until this fucking idiot discovers that when they say "globalists" they mean "Jews".

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 20 points 6 hours ago

Is her issue that there's not enough?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 19 points 15 hours ago

Omg Laura ~~Looser~~ ~~Boomer~~ Loomer !! 🤣🤣🤣(I swear what a weird autocorrect, I never use that term, especially spelled that way, wtf?) is a Nazi problem who thinks the only thing Nazi about the party refers to Jewishness.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 18 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

Isn't she sleeping with the fuhrer?

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 6 points 7 hours ago

It sure seemed like it during the campaign.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 hours ago

She wishes. She just a bit too old though.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 hours ago

The Dear Leader probably hasn't been able to get wood since Y2K.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

No, he was fuckin a late 20s assistant in his first term. Allegedly.

[–] human@slrpnk.net 18 points 7 hours ago

"The GOP has no moral clarity right now"

😂😂😂😂😂

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

She's achieving self awareness!

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 14 points 13 hours ago

No shit, Sherlock.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

LOL, Laura Loomer:

  1. Says it's not about Israel

I'm thinking she is only saying this now because even if she saw all the Nazi shit before ( and seriously, how could you not?) she was willing to overlook all that as long as the GOP was sufficiently loyal to the very worst shit that Israel was up to. Now that there are a few cracks in that front, she's now worried about all the obvious rampant Nazi shit in her party.

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 13 points 8 hours ago

They've had that problem for at least 50 years. It's just been really fucking obvious for the past 12.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

America used to know how to deal with Nazis back in the 1940s...

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 12 points 14 hours ago

The GOP also has a Jigsaw problem.

...tee hee...

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 10 points 13 hours ago

Next thing you know, they declare ANTIFA a terrorist group.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago
[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 7 points 5 hours ago

Yeah no shit the GOP is nazi

[–] notsure@fedia.io 7 points 14 hours ago

...looked in the mirror and didn't like what she saw?...

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 hours ago

Sat what you will about Laura Loomer but she is an expert in the obvious.

[–] shane@feddit.nl 6 points 4 hours ago

It seems like the thing that bothers her is that people won't vote for Nazi's, not that, you know, racism or genocide is a problem.

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 43 minutes ago

Hey, guys. I think MAGA might be... bad?

The walking plastic surgery malpractice lawsuit is right about something for once
