Look at that graphic. It appears that there’s more diversity in extreme groups than the official (or mainstream?) GOP. Interesting.
Sometimes self-hating people aren’t entirely wrong to hate themselves.
“Nehlen and his ideas have no place in the Republican Party.” State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos ® said, "He says the quiet parts out loud."
"Rick Tyler spawned outrage back in 2016 with his horrible “Make America White Again” billboard, which he hoped would play a major role in his 2016 campaign for Congress.
This week, Tyler held a white supremacist rally at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
Ahead of Tyler’s talk, police helicopters flew overhead as protesters gathered in the heat outside the student union to craft signs and protest his appearance. Dozens of Knox County Sheriff’s Office deputies, Knoxville Police Department officers, UT police officers and Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers lined the fenced-off area around the Alumni Memorial Building, waiting to screen anyone who wanted to go inside.
Nine people showed up to hear him speak while more than one hundred people protested outside the event. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports that “protesters outnumbered attendees more than 10 to one,”
I understand what you’re saying—these people were never big pluralists or anything. But I have to say these days I appreciate even lip service toward the idea of common decency, or the minimal gesture of tossing an openly hateful anti-Semite who doesn’t win anyway out of the party. At least it’s better than an open embrace of the society’s worst scum.
More importantly why is this woman on TV?
“hate” really describes “people who believe in border enforcement, people who believe in national sovereignty.”
It’s obviously time for me to update my OED. That definition isn’t included in my edition.
I’d much rather have the blatant and open racists than the undercover ones like Vos clearly is.
Much easier to fight an enemy who is known and in the open than the one claiming to be your friend.
Racists love other racists.
TPM reached out to multiple network spokespeople with a simple question: Why promote this person? We received no response back.
That’s shocking…
Man, this really shows how far we have fallen…20 years ago you’d hear something like “we have to let them speak because of the 1st Amendment, no matter how much we disagree with their trash”, now we get “we are blocking patriots from speaking”. I think everyone would agree with the first sentiment, under our system it’s the right thing to do…heck, the Blues Brothers got it right 40 years ago. I worry how we got to the point that white supremacy has become open patriotism for a significant fraction of the Republican party.
It’s a big cabin.
IMHO, the opinion of anyone who has dated Dinesh D’Souza should be discounted 1,000%. That fact alone says that that person should be shunned and exiled.
Obviously they just needed an even eight for their basket graphic.
It has many sources…Many explanations. Any social science University curriculum has the particulars.
But here’s the thing:
We can study it. Others seek to use it for their own purposes. And I would wager it has a lot to do with why we have the increasing distance of the 0.001% from the rest of us.
James Woods is more so an instigator. #justsayin
Why? Because she is a bigot too.
On the other hand you could argue she’s suffered enough.
