A high-tech lynching of an impressionable young Nazi. Can’t believe having his mom call people on his behalf didn’t move any needles.

So now we’ll only have secret Nazis, I guess.
The successful will be those who manage to be Nazis but hide the signs from the public. Because there’s no way any of these people will give up their Naz8/KKK-inspired beliefs and behaviors.

He’s not even a real Nazi. Just has a measly “streak” of Nazism. Senate Rs are losing their nerve. Must be all those threats from the violent terrorists currently burning Portland and Chicago to the ground.

Paul Ingrassia’s mistake was saying the quiet part of the Republican party out loud.
It is one thing for Democrats to call Republicans Nazis, it is a different thing when they call themselves Nazis, unless they are doing the obvious “dog whistle”.

I guess the quiet part needs to at least be whispered.

You hear the door to your apartment break. The next thing you know, an unidentified man with a gun is inside your apartment. You go to call 9-1-1. BANG! You’re dead.
Republicans say government can do this to you and I without cause or consequence.
Note: No apology. Note Also: Still works for the Trump administration. Onward.
