A recent neo-Nazi rally in Columbus, Ohio, drew national attention—but it was just one of dozens that increasingly-emboldened white power groups have held this year.

If you see these people it is literally your duty as an American to disrupt their activities. Whether or not harm comes to them is not part of the question.

They’re armed with guns. They would love to use those guns.

Arming yourself in response is not unreasonable if you feel you are capable of doing so. Stay safe, either way.

I really despise that the logical solution to militant fascists in the US is turning the country into a live fire zone.

fuck.

I’m not saying it’s not warranted. I know this kind of conflict could set off something big. I’m not prepared for a civil war personally.

You can also film them. Doxxing Nazis is a time-tested method, because even in the modern climate, a lot of them do not want to be known as “hey aren’t you that guy who was at that neo Nazi march” around the coffee maker at work on Monday.

Wait, I thought Democrats were the real racists? The wingnuts keep telling me that Republicans are the party of Lincoln, yadda yadda.

Why is it that the Nazis support donvict and his party?

“Republicans are the party of Lincoln” is the ultimate way to show someone you can, in principle, memorize facts, but critical thinking is not your strong suit.

this is true, but I also think many of them know the facts and use it to twist the knife - yeah, it’s a bullshit boast, but a plurality of voters aren’t smart enough to get it so fuck you.

malicious ignorance.

Protecting the union was all that mattered.

That is where D’s have failed and Lincoln succeeded.

The smattering of hicks and incels across the US don’t concern me so much as the Judeo-Christian-liberal fanatics that have ran foreign policy since the Bush years, can’t make up their minds about Ukraine and seem to only care about Greater Israel and getting into a shooting war with China.

Trump won by 1.6% over Harris, a smaller margin than every win in the 1900’s other than Kennedy and Nixon, and the Electoral College win was narrow winning by less EC votes than Clinton or Obama and one more than Biden.

A shockingly high percentage of Trump voters just thought he would reduce grocery store prices.

These guys are like: “Trump won, the American people clearly want Nazis”

Neonazis were excited for both candidates. Trump, since he would give them free reign. Harris because she would be great for recruitment. They’re Neonazis, they’ll find any excuse to think they’re relevant

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
