Because this isn’t the movement of Reagan or Eisenhower or even Bush… if you still find yourself defending it, maybe the joke’s on you—because history never laughs with those who excuse the inexcusable. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

True - see what Reagan was proud of before he became President (I do think his Admin was shaped by all the authoritarian Nixonite creeps, or should I say CREEP's who infested his Presidency): bsky.app/profile/davi...

What would Ronald Reagan think of today's Kremlin-adoring MAGA/Fox corruption? You will be amazed how clear it is that today's Republican Party has 'left him.' Has utterly betrayed him. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2024/09/reag...

Correct framing couldn't be easier... The KKKristofascists are trying to rig electoral process to end our democracy in order to establish permanent minority rule and GUARANTEE that these are the people who "inherit" total rulership and control over you, your children and everyone/thing you love:

So when the left calls Trump a fascist that's "violent rhetoric", but when the right jokes about sending people to gas chambers and burning people, that's just kids being kids? By the way these were not kids, they were fully grown adults elected to their positions.

Vance is fucked up! No matter what he sets out to say or smooth comments over, he makes it worse. The young republicans should be held accountable for their boys will be boys statements. Apparently Vance is just too much of a little boy to be vp.

This is precisely the reason anyone who doesn’t support this kind of stuff needs to proudly say “I am Antifa!” If you oppose this stuff, you ARE anti-fascist. Say it proudly!

I'm beginning to believe that the Venn diagram of these young modern Republican men, Militia men, Proud Boys, Aryan Brotherhood and White Christian Nationalists are a smaller circle inside a circle.

When do we stop calling them conservative? Or Conservative? The day Reagan started that trickle down shit is they day they stopped adhering to traditional conservative principles They are the ANTI conservative policy Tariffs, booming deficits, Russia love A multiple dimensional fraudulent party

Don’t kid yourself. Trump/MAGA is the offspring of the marriage officiated by Reagan between the Christian right and the GOP. Trump is their baby. This is the end of the Reagan era, not the beginning of the Trumpian era. It will finally be crushed and the people will be represented before profits

Hemingway said of bankruptcy that it came in 2 ways: slowly at first, then all of a sudden. We are at that chaotic latter stage, but the GOP was slowly going bankrupt a long time ago (e.g. Nixon, trickle down, deficits don't matter, never met a war they didn't like). This is how the GOP dies.

The GOP “young” leaders are older than the university students who protested and had some of their student visas canceled, and their Universities extorted for not policing anti-semitism. There were no “boys will be boys” excuses by Vance. He didn’t tell Trump to “grow up”. What say you Bill Akman?

Chubby boys like JD Vance were bullied in hi-school & had a hard time getting dates. Then in college they felt small next to their more sophisticated classmates. Young Republicans was a space where they could feel big again and express all the rage. Why not be awful? Nobody likes us anyway.

Those texts and the writers thereof are the toxic underbelly of America. That they hide their chats and know that exposure would bring censure says all that we need to know. That frat-boy Vance and Mini-Mike want to defend them---again, everything you need to know.

Adam you are correct about Eisenhower. But dead wrong about the others. The Republican party has been a fascist movement for decades! Every republican policy since Nixon has been grooming the US for a fascist dictatorship. Trump is just its figurehead not its architect.

Yeah! This cult has taken over your party. Do you still consider yourself a Republican or an Independent now? I am a conservative Democrat, but I am flexible when it comes to what others want to do with their lives. Live and let live, as long as it is legal and not hurting others. 👍🇺🇸💙&❤️🇺🇸

Tip: never mention past Republican Presidents in your anti-Trump articles if you intend to post it here. The socialist/Communist types who give MAGA its anti-Left ammunition always crawl out of the woodworks to say "akshually, the GOP was always bad, because socialism/Communism good!" 🙄
