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!

They all want to be Nazis, but not called Nazis. Elon, Trump, the AfD...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

The Nazi doesn't like being called a Nazi, that's too bad Nazi.

I too am outraged that it's being framed as a "claim" rather than a "fact".

“...I’m a Nazi”

-Elon Musk

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago

In his interview with Lara Trump, Musk said he thinks some people want him dead.

Hey Elon, it's me, some people.

since I’m a little difficult to kill

Leave your human meat shield home next time you speak in public.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Elon, I’m not claiming that you are a nazi. I’m starting the fact that you are a nazi.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

Hey, Elon, you're a Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

“You grew up in South Africa,” Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law and Fox News host, said in the new interview. “You lived during a period of Apartheid. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of horrific things. So to be called a Nazi by people, to be made out to be this monster, that must be really hard for you.”

motherf*cker, you and your ilk were the oppressors. everything pre and post indicates that it was perfectly fine with you and yours. "white" washing at its finest. now, gtfo!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

Like telling a Nazi concentration camp officer he had it hard bc he lived during the HOLOCAUST

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Quit paying any attention to what he says. If you have been the victim of a narcissist you know that they can never admit fault. Ever! What he says doesn't matter. Just keep slamming his every word and deed and stop using his products. He isn't the only one. We are in this mess because of mentally unbalanced people just like him. It has nothing to do with them being rich and out of touch with reality. Its because they are born mentally incapable of decency. You can't get good numbers on how many narcissist exist. After all they are the least likely to ever get any form of therapy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they weren’t rich, they’d just be crazy people, with no national impact.

Wealth is power. The only way to effect change is to seriously threaten wealth.

If we could somehow cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 95% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.

It’s just the perennial Problem of Evil, but with modern psychological terminology.

Same shit, different day.

Weird thing for a Nazi to say.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

A fascist supporter of Trumpism and the Apartheid regime is close enough to Nazism as it needs to be. I don't think it's outrageous at all. Also bro did a Nazi salute on live TV.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"I'm not a Nazi!," cries the guy openly supporting national socialists in Germany, publicly making Nazi puns on Twitter, and throwing Nazi salutes on stage during the presidential inauguration...

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don’t forget unbanning tons of Nazis on twitter in the name of “free speech” while silencing their critics.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Almost as if being dishonest was a trait of totalitarian fucktards, huh?

Why are we still treating them with good faith in anything?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

If the armband fits...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Things a Nazi say.
