I’m sorry, did a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate just ‘Won’t somebody think of the neo-Nazis?’ during a live TV debate?

The mainstream media is not nearly communicating enough how dire a situation it is politically for the Republican Party that in mid-October a sitting GOP president is campaigning in Alaska and Texas.

The elites lost their minds because they were faced with the reality that we see them as nothing more than useless, petulant toddlers. That not only weren't they the smartest in the room, but that everyone would prefer they weren't in the room at all. So we could get **** done or have a good time.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

The notion that we fight fascism by pretending it's not occurring has brought us here to a place where Nazi cheerleaders have taken over our government, occupying our cities, abducting our neighbors & trafficking immigrant children.

A good summation of David Brooks and "civility" politics generally: no one on the right-wing can ever be described honestly, while everyone who isn't on the right-wing is always portrayed as a radical breaking cherished norms.

People are too obsessed with Nazi Germany as their fascism template. Well, this is US Federal fascism in 2026. Yesterday's Livestream execution Pay Per View edition is U.S. fascism 2026 style. We're here now. We have to internalize this.

There’s nothing complicated about this. If you terrorize LGBTQ people, fewer youth will identify themselves as LGBTQ out of shame and for self-protection. Q.E.D. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Number of teens who identify themselves as gay or bisexual is in ‘free fall’
Conservatives have trumpeted the data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but researchers say the reasons for the decline are unclear.

I'm not saying we should have no concern about the GOP trying something, but if the best they have is whispering about Mike Johnson "refusing to seat" members, they got nothing. For the record Mike Johnson's term as Speaker expires on January 3rd. He has no authority after that.

Rape as a tool of political violence was the natural escalation point to allowing an adjudicated rapist to become President. I think I'll just start shrieking at the top of my lungs at anyone who tells me I'm overreacting from this point forward. No words, just the feral sound of unbridled rage.
