*I* want to believe, among other things, that Nancy Mace — who is neither stupid nor a true believer — is ruefully considering the life choices that led to her publicly quizzing a McCarthy-style ‘whistleblower’ about ‘biologics’.
He won't.

It's not a "cautionary tale." They're Nazis. They want us to know they're Nazis.
It doesn't matter if they lose a gig here or there. They expect down the road to take over regardless of voter intent, and then reap all the rewards. https://t.co/g9gZoO9WnE

On the other hand, National Review has to flip the “Days since one of ours got caught being a Nazi or White Nationalist” sign back to zero.

I wonder what @nytimes now thinks about publishing Nate Hochman's long op-ed about the "pervasive" agreement with right-wing culture warriors forced into it by the left (screenshots 1&2) and making him a main source for a news feature (3&4).
Still proud that they did, I'd guess. pic.twitter.com/3B0O9mJwY8— Nicholas Grossman (@NGrossman81) July 26, 2023

That Xeet with Senator Batboy gave me a chuckle. But, seriously, we have entire industries dealing with “non-human bodies”. They didn’t come from other planets.
With nuts like these it’s amazing our “intelligence” agencies manage to get anything right.

I can’t say I’m all that surprised at the young Republicans embracing Nazism. Can anyone say that, really?

Nazis gonna Nazi. There are the Nazis who do evil shit and there are the Nazis who pretend not to see the evil shit that their fellow Nazis are doing, proving conclusively that there is no such thing as ‘good’ Germans, only criminals who enable each other and somehow always get away with the evil that they do.

Hochman is absolutely typical (well-heeled, well-educated ordinary Republican completely comfortable and embedded in fascist racist anti-Semitic circles) of what I see at the uni where I used to teach. They have allies (just a few but untouchable) among the faculty.

That’s basically the editorial position of the NYTimes. They missed the fascist threat because they were battling the Oberlin student council.

Because they’re elected politicians who have to be nice in front of the normies and the ‘independents’ who are secretly rethinking their consistent support of the Republican party.
We don’t hate everyone who ever voted GOP! Just the unhinged fascists and crazy people among them! Vote Dem, this November, as the ‘smart’ alternative!
Baud
@Anne Laurie:
Correct. Our people want to believe that the Republicans in their social circles are still decent people, and it’s those other Republicans who are nuts.
Soprano2
@Kay: I did a double take when I saw that. Conservatives have an outsized idea of how much power college students have, I think because they believe it should be “none”. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that they totally missed how many Republicans are openly fascist now. And of course, a Jewish person can have fascist beliefs. Using Nazi as shorthand for fascist isn’t great. There were fascists in Italy and Spain who were in power, too. I think of Stephen Miller as the Gaius Balthasar (sp?) of the Republican Party – he thinks he’s one of them because he’s a Jew who helps them, so he’ll be spared. He’s not the only one.
Kathleen
@Baud: OT and dead thread but I just saw the Fascist Enabling Quislings at the Today Show lead story was Hunter Biden. There are not enough words that can adequately express my hatred and loathing of the mainstream media. Henceforth as far as I’m concerned they’re all FEQ’s.
Soprano2
@Anyway: Because he’s trying to appeal to conservatives who aren’t fascists.
Kay
@Soprano2:
Nate Hochman himself writes the same thing, in the screenshotted excerpt from his NYTimes tenure.
I can always tell a conservative who grew up in and resides in a blue state/city and has little or no contact with actual rank and file Republicans by how they believe every public school in the United States is a hotbed of Marxist thought. Who do they think works in schools and serves on school boards in the vast swathes of the country that are Right wing? Right wingers. That’s why the schools lean Right.
But if you grew up in DC or NY or LA and never left I guess you wouldn’t know that.
His was probably the 500th editorial scolding young liberals the NYTimes has run in the past 5 years. They LOVE that subject. It is their very favorite thing.

@sdhays:

@Anne Laurie:
Not to mention the media, which would go all-in against Biden if he made it sound like all Rethuglicans were evil. (Yeah, I know how they are now, but they at least have to have some reserve about how they try to undermine him now.)
You remember how they jumped on Hillary’s ‘deplorables’ comment, even though she had said that it didn’t apply to the majority of Republicans. Biden made sure the distinction was right up front there in the label.
Matt McIrvin
@Soprano2: If you’re tossing around the Sonnenrad symbol you are literally a Nazi, not just a fascist. Or you’re trying to attract overt Nazis, and to my mind that’s being a Nazi–caution in labeling is working against us here.
These people are being way too cute, trying to have it both ways–using overt neo-Nazi appeals and then claiming people are imagining things or that it was somehow ironic.
Geminid
@Anne Laurie: I think people are missing a point here: “MAGA” is being used to stigmatize, not distinguish. Biden and Jeffries are painting their political opposition with the broad “MAGA” brush, not being lenient towards some Republicans.
marklar
Never really heard of the guy….Just googled his being lauded in the media.
Saw a link for a Washington Post article titled “A fine essay by Nate Hochman in the New York Times makes a compelling argument and should not be missed.”
The kicker? Written by Spew Spewitt….surprise surprise.
Meyerman
My two sons, 19 and 20, watched the sonnenrad video. Their immediate take was that it was produced as satire and could not have been produced by someone who actually supported DeSantis because the Nazi imagery was too obvious. Of course, they have grown up in Massachusetts, so they don’t come across that many young right wingers.
Soprano2
@Matt McIrvin: It can be both, that there are people who are actual Nazis and those who are fascist sympathizers. You don’t have to be a Nazi to be a fascist.

It’s also for the benefit of independents who sometimes vote for republicans. We need their votes enough that we still have to pretend they’re very serious people rather than feckless weathervanes.

@trnc: To riff off Adlai Stevenson, “we need a majority.”
Geminid
@AnonPhenom: Biden and Jeffries are telling non-MAGA elected Republican officials that when they stand in the way of progress that they will be called “MAGA Republicans” whether they like it or not.
Mitch McConnell is one of many Republican Senators who despise Trump. Reps. Dan Newhouse (WA) and David Valadeo (CA) voted to impeach the guy. But as long as they block Biden’s agenda, or vote for radical House bills, they will be painted with the same “MAGA Republican” brush as their colleagues.
I think people are overthinking this messaging question. There is a kind of hyper-tribalism here that I also see applied to the “bipartisanship” messaging question.
Yutsano
@Geminid: Dan Newhouse is a quisling who will follow party leadership wherever it goes. I still have no idea where the impeachment vote came from other than he knew it wouldn’t cost him in the next election. And he was right. Don’t expect any independence from him. He just hides his MAGA side for the cameras.
Barry
@Lacuna Synecdoche: “I really hope someone at NYT is asking Dean Bacquet, “How did we not know this guy is a NAZI?””
Remember, the NYT has been caught several times deliberately interviewing known GOP party activists and presenting them as ordinary people.
This is just the next step.

Does anyone have a link from a knowledgeable trustworthy source about what this UFO business all about and if any of this is true? I’m too busy and exhausted from work to listen to the hearings or even read through and sort out all the stuff being written about it. I’d like to have a clear picture of what is going on. Thanks in advance.
Geminid
@Yutsano: I don’t expect any independence from Newhouse. All the more reason to tar him with the “MAGA Republican” brush, even though he voted to impeach. Same with Valdeo. Calling out MAGA Republicans does not validate the others, it implicates them.
Geminid
@Yutsano: I think Newhouse might have run some risk with his impeachment vote. There was no telling how fierce the backlash would be. It knocked out Jaime Herera Butler to the west of him.
But the difference there might be that Newhouse was a man and Butler a woman.

@Kay: To be fair, they missed the threat the first time around also.
