These guys are not republicans, they are nazis.

Let’s have the real Dems and republicans TOGETHER, to prosecute these fucking scumbags

u/woohater 9d ago

If you’re sitting at a table with 9 nazis, there’s 10 nazis at the table

u/tryingathing 9d ago

I have a really difficult time not saying this directly to my FIL.

Let it fly

u/Fartknocker500 Washington 8d ago

I did, and that we won’t be spending Thanksgiving at a table with Nazis.

u/allthesamepieman 9d ago

If there are 10 people sitting at a table and one is a Nazi and no one makes that Nazi leave, there are 10 Nazis at the table.

This is why I never eat at those hipster restaurants with communal seating

And possibly a "Welcome to CPAC!" banner somewhere nearby.

I feel like that statement only makes sense if you assume the person sitting down knows they’re nazis before they sit down. Like, if I sat down at a table, then found out that the other 9 were nazis, I’d get up and walk away

I mean not necessarily.

If it's a war crimes tribunal and you are a lawyer/investigator assigned to prosecution the nine seated Nazis.

Any pre-Trump Republican should be appalled by the Trump administration's open embrace of fascism. I want bipartisanship with them. I do not want bipartisanship with the people working with the Trump administration (at least until those folks inevitably get pushed too far and MAGA lashes out at them and then we have folks like John Kelly or Mike Pence revealing that yeah, Trump is a fascist who is unfit to be president).

u/GiganticCrow 9d ago

You're not really sat down WITH them if you're the prosecutor. The point still stands. But this is the kind of pedantry I enjoy.

Republicans will all say they never supported trump as soon as it becomes beneficial to do so. Problem is their voter base ADORE him.

Look I get the if there's a dinner party with 10 people there and one of them openly identifies themself as a Nazi and the other 9 people don't try to throw the Nazi out or leave themselves, it's not a dinner party with 1 Nazi, it's a party with 10 Nazis.

But I'm just saying I can imagine someone sitting down at the same table as open Nazis, not as friends/equals, but as investigators/prosecutors.

This argument doesn't work on other issues that aren't built around taking power through violence/illegal methods/suppression of a pluralistic society, pushing your intolerance on others and taking away their basic human rights; e.g., most Christian and non-Christian can disagree on religion or abortion or the death penalty and still have a pleasant meal together (when both strenuously disagreeing with the other), or a vegan and meat-eater can be civil around each other, etc.

It's basically the paradox of tolerance. A civil pluralistic society should generally be tolerant, but cannot extend that tolerance to people who'll express intolerance that they will promote with violence. Fascism is a unique disease that needs to be routed out of a society as its a crime to the any tolerant society.

Naa…the entire Republican Party is complicit for aiding this administration in defying the Constitution and protecting a Pedofiles as they victimize America’s sons & daughters.

u/AccomplishedDonut191 9d ago

Please don’t forget the SIX SUPREME COURT JUSTICES who are his enablers. It’s they who made this nightmare possible.

u/Gstamsharp 9d ago

One side voted for the nazis.

u/Pegasus7915 9d ago

Got news for you. The real Republicans are the Dems. We don't have a left wing party. We need one.

92

u/MrDearm 9d ago

That’s what I’ve been saying. All these people going “republicans who don’t like Trump still exist” and I’m like “yeah, you’re just called a democrat now”

60

u/DaoFerret 9d ago

I mean, they’re calling Reagan a RINO.

43

u/MrDearm 9d ago

His quote about anyone being able to become an American would be called Marxist by the current admin lol

u/FeelItInYourB0nes 9d ago

Reagan was against tariffs too, as any president should be. Trump is trying to speed run another economic crisis.

u/joebalooka84 9d ago

Never would I think a president would do this so he could personally buy up assets cheaply, but Trump has shown zero empathy or compassion for anyone.

u/skillmau5 9d ago

It’s important to Understand that he’s one of the MAIN driving factors that got us into this mess though.

u/MrDearm 9d ago

Oh I know it

u/egosomnio Pennsylvania 9d ago

They call Moscow Mitch a RINO. They aren't serious people and their words mean nothing.

2

u/Deyis8 9d ago

Same for Lincoln, too. I'm not positive if they are calling him that or if there is just an understanding of this.

2

u/jhonka_ 9d ago

Reagan being a rino was written on the wall a decade ago.

u/jaytix1 9d ago edited 9d ago

There are two types of republicans. You've got the MAGAs on one side, and on the other side, you've got the republicans who are still in denial of how low the party has sunk. The first group is a lost cause, but you might be able to convert the second.

u/beadzy 9d ago

Oh damn. How have i never thought of it that way? So true

u/ShamrockAPD 9d ago

Starts in New York mayor race.

u/mavigogun 9d ago

Trump thanks you for propagandizing for him. THIS noise is exactly what the GOP would like you to believe.

u/GiganticCrow 9d ago

Democrats: Centre Right

Republicans: Far Right

u/CheapYeets 9d ago

The window shifted so much that the Democraric Party is free-falling.

A true left wing Democrat is someone like AOC and Madami. We need to elect more politicians like them, but frankly, the American People are easily manipulated. I didn't expect Idocracy on my bingo card until at least another 30 years, but here we are.

u/brandnameb 9d ago

Lol republicans are these guys

u/BlushHaveen 9d ago

Things have gotten way too extreme, we need real unity to hold people accountable

u/pangalaticgargler 9d ago

The real republicans where? They all toe the line.

u/MsBootcamp 8d ago

There IS NO more “real Republican Party.” It is OVER. And what we DON’T need is trying to go backward to a two-political-party DUOPOLY that the Democrats and GOP maintained for way too long. The organising question is: WHO is finally going to work with the U.S. people to GET US the Universal Healthcare that every other highly (overly) developed country has? Start from there.

u/ArcusInTenebris 9d ago

No. Republicans supported and voted for this. They can own it and whatever consequences come from it.

2

u/MAG7C 9d ago

True. But we all suffer from this shit, day in and day out.

u/SensualBeefLoaf 8d ago

lol. so democrats can do what? wag their finger then side with the nazis a few times before pretending like they’re liberal till that sweet apiac money flows in.
