There is a group of people who are determined to differentiate the GOP and MAGA. Mostly it's people who enjoyed it when the racism and bigoty of the GOP was more discreet and simply wish for a return of principled Republicans like Trey Gowdy and Paul Ryan.

Kate Klonick@klonick.bsky.social

This is wrong. Joel was NOT a MAGA fan he was an old school GOP person. And the fact that he’s being replaced by Dina McCormick, former Trump adviser, tells you all you need to know about where Facebook is betting.

Dr Alex Fitzpatrick reposted

@wittywebhandle.bsky.social

This will be the Liberal Centrist line for the foreseeable future. Rehabilitate 'Old School GOP' as somehow not complicit in Trump's rise nor actively benefiting from and co-signing every Trump position that robs the poor to enrich the elite. This is indistinguishable from the DVP in Germany.

“once people on the left start repeating the fascist mantra that . . . more authoritarian policies, profitable surveillance, militarized policing, targeting of immigrants, etc. will create a safer and better society—it will become difficult or impossible to dislodge that framework in the future.”

Instead we should focus on which messages, ideas, and visions beyond "we need to beat the far right" have mobilized large parts of society. We should understand the organizational structures behind these victories and acknowledge that they are about more than defending the status quo.

Replying to @tabouchadi.bsky.social

We need to stop always making the far right the subject of political agency and the object of voter decisions in our analyses of contemporary politics. The success of the far right is not inevitable. But single elections do not signal the end of the far-right threat to our democracies.

@tabouchadi.bsky.social

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

since when did settlement get granted automatically because I’m pretty sure I had to pay £4k and also fill out a pretty long application and provide about a dozen pieces of paper evidence and also live here for a fucking decade and pay visa fees and health surcharges the whole fucking time
