How JD Vance And A Virulent Neo-Nazi Group Inflamed Tensions Over Migrants In Springfield

I’ll never forget something my grandfather told me when I was 7.

“You know I was in world war 2? You know how I did that? Because I Liked to kill those bastards.”

RIP, Zadie

Trump’s rabble-rousing on behalf of American Nazis is a violation of the terms of his pre-trial release in federal court. So he should be locked up pending trial, because …

wait for it ...

it will be good …

Justice …

wait for it ...

it will be sweet …

Matters!

I’m a U of Dayton grad. A couple years ago I found out about a skirmish between UD students, it’s a Catholic school, and the Klan in the early twenties. People from the surrounding neighborhood joined the students to kick some ass and chase the assholes away. Very little help from the Dayton police.
I wonder why.

Bashing foreigners will always appeal to a subset of humanity that would rather nurse its grudges than expand its horizons. I’m glad that targeting Haitians in Ohio is motivating the large Haitian-American population in Florida to get organized to vote–maybe ETTD’s next victim will be Rick Scott’s senatorial career.

Kill Nazis on sight:

You know there was a Machine Gun Kelly. His name was Kelly. He was an American GI and machine gunner who bragged about loving to kill Germans and killed a busload with a machine gun.

The ultimate Nazi killing machine was Audie Murphy. Think about it, he was 20 when the war ended.

I don’t know how this surprises me at this point, but how does TCF keep finding people that are worse than before. Like Stephen Miller wasn’t bad enough, let’ find a Stephen Miller with eyeliner and a nicer suit.

Gen Flynn not out on the fringe far enough? Here comes Laura Loomer to the team.

At this point I await the Hypno-Toad and Kang and Kodos to arrive in the campaign somehow.

Thank you for this comment. I think the story should be reframed as “lazy white Christians complain about economic revitalization they refuse to take part in.”

So so tired of him. I just want him to die. Make his death a national holiday.

Such false and hateful lies can only be characterized as incitement.

But to what avail?

Thank goodness John Roberts has assured us that racism is over, otherwise this would all be very worrisome.

Vance also wants to keep it in a state of turmoil. As a senator for that state, he must know that the Haitians are not undocumented–they’ve got legal status. But he just doesn’t care. It’s all about stirring up as much trouble as possible.

They also have to hear plant managers say “Yeah, these immigrants are great workers who don’t come in drunk or high.” That must sting. (Referencing that PBS news story that I’m too lazy to look up.)

Trump’s movement is filled with violent extremists and radicals. They have a demonstrated willingness and eagerness to commit acts of violence against their perceived partisan enemies (mostly Democrats, but also any obstacles to Trump’s will). “Stand back and stand by.” Trump is not simply incautious in his remarks about this fact. He actually mobilizes that propensity for violence as a political tool. It’s already distorting and degenerating American civic life. And he’s not even back in power yet. Josh Marshall.

Did you ever think you would live in a country where one political party would incite violence to win an election or where voting would be an act of genuine courage.

I admit, I’ve been laughing a lot of the memes. Even here, this morning, in comments to the Morning Memo. But no longer. Bomb threats, people afraid to leave home or let their kids go to school–I can’t find it funny anymore. This time, mocking these weirdos for their crazy talk isn’t shutting them down. It seems to be encouraging them.

Someone, most likely an immigrant, is likely to get hurt. Also after that stupid Christopher Rufo offered money for proof of Haitians eating pets, animals are likely to get hurt.

These people are deeply disturbed and they have never read a history book in their lives. I do feel sorry for them, but the instigators of this crap should be prosecuted.
