They already have a Republican candidate, they won’t want your watered down “Republican lite”.

Reposted by Chance the LawyerLane Stellmaker @hipcrimevocab.net · 09/10/2026Hierarchy is what keeps you from being able to exist comfortably and in pluralistic harmony with all the various flows of humanity.

Reposted by Chance the LawyerLane Stellmaker @hipcrimevocab.net · 09/10/2026The nonfascist right has no such vision. They tell you that your place in society is a part of a natural hierarchy ordained by a strangely human god who reflects their prejudices and worldly goals. They defend the status quo because it empowers them and those like them. 1182
Reposted by Chance the LawyerLane Stellmaker @hipcrimevocab.net · 09/10/2026The left offers a competing vision: the world sucks and is unfair but it is that way because your labor is exploited by people who force you to labor for them to purchase what you need to live back from them with a fake medium of exchange they pretend has value. 1203

Reposted by Chance the LawyerBrandon Friedman @brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do. 1140021301
