On Thursday night, the president of the Heritage Foundation — the MAGA right’s leading think tank — welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition. You might think I am exaggerating. I assure you I am not. The Nazi in question here, podcaster Nick Fuentes, has described Adolf Hitler as “really fucking cool” and said “perfidious Jews” must “be given the death penalty” after “we take power.” And on Thursday, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts released a video defending this person’s inclusion in polite-right politics: describing Fuentes not as a hate-monger to be banished from the decent right, but as a coalition member whose view of Jews-as-evil-traitors should be politely debated.

    Oh fuck OFF with that.

    We’ve been telling you for DECADES what would happen if you keep letting your kids play with matches. In response, you were shitty and belligerent. Now your house is ablaze and your response to demands that you put out the fire is, “shut your mouth, your house is next.”

    Absolutely go fuck yourself.

      He’s right. Democracy is slipping world-wide and your “it can’t happen here” is exactly how the US got into this state in the first place. You can’t let your guard down.

        No idea how you read “it can’t happen here” from my comment. It absolutely can, and it IS, and it’s because we were called anti-American and told “worry about your own country” for 30-40 years when we pointed out, rightly, that this was the path the US was on.

          Wait, do I understand you correctly? You seem to think that had the US fought against their own Nazis, you wouldn’t have any Nazis in Europe? How does that make sense?

      Many of us in the US have also been sounding the alarm for over a decade. This is a country with like 400 million people…
