You know, it's interesting, when I saw the thread title, I was expecting it to be about the exclusion of the Log Cabin republicans...
I am saddened to hear there is a group of people calling themselves Republicans when they are clearly hated by the Republican party.

Man who to beat up on, the gays or the mildest of gun laws. Looks like the TX GOP still prefers the gays.

Their opposition to either is disgusting but I guess they can only bash one thing/group at a time.

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema know what it is like to call themselves Democract and are clearly hatred by the Democract party.
Granted, not aware of overt death threats towards them. OTOH, one must assume there were... as just about any public figure receives them.
Yes I know and appreciate the differences, but I also reckon they're smaller than you'd like to admit.

Like so many other interest groups in that party of theirs, they'll fight among themselves until it's time to vote. That's when they will close ranks against a wholly contrived common enemy that their leaders have conveniently excluded themselves from. These very same leaders of theirs are projecting onto the Democrats what they themselves are doing to their members, of which is to strip them of their rights and liberties that give them the ability to hold these very same leaders accountable for the crimes they perpetrating against the nation.

These Repub party leaders, every one of whom are corrupt beyond the pale, have every intention of violating and outright rejecting any and all laws of the land that obstructs their efforts to stand up a fascist autocratic form of gov't. here at home AND they've convinced their working class party members that it's existentially critical to do just that by exploiting single issue hot topics that work to prioritize the emotions of their voters over their common sense and grip on reality.

I hate to say this but liberals need to be getting armed if we don't want to end up like the Tutsi. It's only a matter of time before the right wing demagogues give the signal and don't think for a second their fascist base will hold back.

I've been saying this for a couple years now. I'd have bought a gun if I didn't suffer from depression and might use it the wrong way. It's not safe for me to have a gun in my home.

Something something about supporting the leopards and having your face chewed off.

I guess all the righties on this forum have the OP on ignore because I haven’t seen a single one of them chime in yet.

That’s one way to maintain and reinforce your bubble though, isn’t it.

I heard the new NRINO party narrowed flag choices down to two.

It’s always been funny to me how much of their depictions of Trump are as some super muscled guy considering he’s morbidly obese.

Yes, well the killing of Rohm probably had more to do with getting the SA in line than with homosexuality.

People also forget that Gregor Strasser was killed that day. He had been the leader of the pro-socialist branch of the Nazis. He likely was killed at the behest of industrialists whom Hitler needed for his rearmament plan. Modern conservatives who try to argue that the Nazis were a socialist party because of provisions in their original platform don't seem to know of anything that actually happened after that platform was introduced in 1920.


Yeah, exactly. The homophobia was not really an inviolable principle, rather just a useful weapon, that could be used against fellow Nazis when there were other political reasons to get rid of them.

The Strasser brothers represented the residue "workerist" anti-capitalist bit of Nazism, that was in the way when Hitler needed the support of industrialists and conservative establishment figures. Their fate should really be a lesson to the 'populist' right in general, when they take at face value the claims of their leaders to care about the working class.

Though "Strasserism" still exists as an explicit strand of the far-right.

They're on a collision course and I can't wait for the impact. The only things that would prevent it at this point are indictments or arterial plaque. Both of which would also be amusing.
I don't think DeSantis has the pull to get votes like Trump could, so I don't think GOP will make him the candidate (unfortunately for Dems).

I'm rooting for that plaque tbh.

Did you miss Jackasslass trying to both sides it? I'm assuming that's what he's doing since that's what he always does. But someone that can actually read his worthless shit posts will have to confirm.

Definitely BothSidesing it. His post was basically 'Some weirdo probably sent Manchin a death threat as well, so Samesies.'
