The Republican Party is the Nazi party in America.
Stupid. I’m Mexican, my family and I are Nazis because we have conservative views? Lol… now you know why your side lost.
Excellent. Only 52 more to go
That’s ridiculous!!
ICE is clearly the American Gestapo.
That’s Gazpacho!
Hey, this soup is cold. Take it back and warm it up, immediately!
You know what they say, one man’s ICE is another man’s KKK is another man’s Gestapo is another man’s Republican. Hard to tell them apart, really.
I love republican party HQ’s they so flammable and quirky <3
Based on Jan6; sounds like the perps just earned pardons!
Wrong side. More likely they earned a terrorism upgrade.
I can’t imagine a democratic president pardoning someone for burning buildings.
I can’t imagine a republican president pardoning someone for building republican buildings.
Probably not going to happen.
Imagine, if you will, a Republican President pardoning an armed mob that violently took over the Capital resulting in several deaths, both on that day and in the immediate aftermath.
If he can pull that shit, a Dem should have no problem with a little non violent property damage.
For what? I saw them grabbing ice cream from a stand just outside the view of any cameras, at the time.
“He who saves his country commits no crime.”
As the perps here are attempting to do!
Sounds to me like a bunch of people having a good time in a festive atmosphere.
In definently not upset
That ® statement is about what I’d expect from them. Hyperbole and fearmongering.
Colorado sees you, New Mexico.
I’m pleasantly surprised at the levelheaded reporting. It’s strikingly neutral, to the point where the Republican quote sounds like a shrill shreak in a sea of reasonableness.
There’s no call for perpetrators being hunted down, no death threats, it’s all very civil.
Newsweek is pretty good in general
I was in a Portal, Arizona recently, which is a pretty rural area. On the radio a public service type advertisement came on explaining your rights if you get arrested by or encounter ICE. It felt like something from a movie.
They should broadcast in Spanish and Ukrainian too.
Whoever did it, no they didn’t, we were playing CIV 5 together at that time
Honestly not the best alibi, seeing that it’s completely plausible to go out and commit arson in the time it takes between late game Civ turns.
That’s a crime in and of itself. Who even plays Civ 5??
Huh?
6 has too many DLCs for my taste and 4 just kinda feels outdated with tetragons for tiles. I won’t buy 7 unless the Steam reviews greatly improve with updates. It sounds unfinished, and probably you’ll have to pay hundreds to get all the DLC to finish it. I MIGHT pirate it to check it out down the line.
It was a joke
I mean usually there’s a reasoning behind jokes, I was wondering what that would be.
Just a joke bcz Civ 7 just came out, and people are going back to Civ 6 bcz of the stability issues.
Innocent people. Completely innocent people play Civ 5.
Gandhi has entered the chat.
God, he’s so passive aggressive diplomatically.
Can confirm. I was in the same game
Whoever did it should also immediately dispose of their ICE=KKK stencil and realize that a using a stencil is a really stupid way to get caught.
Clearly a false flag attack based on that spray paint alone.
Why would you bother burning the GOP HQ because of ICE? Not that I would condone it, but I’d probably write something like, “When fascism comes to America, it will be carrying a cross and wrapped in a flag”. Plus, ICE is operating more the the SS than the KKK. SS was a legal government organization that systematically persecuted the state’s enemies using brutal tactics and complete disregard of human rights to get results. KKK is just a bunch racist beerbellied ‘good ol boys’ who are worried that black men are going woo all their eligible sisters. Anyone actually frustrated enough with the situation to set fire to a building wouldn’t spray paint such a silly miscomparison.
I’d like to think it was in the fire
Finally!
What’s lemmy.world’s policy going to be on this one
Considering past policies, probably something about not leaving a negative comment until you’ve truly listened to the “victim” and empathize with them
What should happen in lemmy is that other places grow and accommodate practical and realistic responses to American politics.
Lemmy swings HARD left like Reddit. I’m literally the only republican/conservative on this whole site! Lol…
You say it like it’s a bad thing you’re the only fascist on Lemmy. There shouldn’t be any fascists anywhere.
Let us not forget: it was the Democrat Party that once supported the formation of the KKK, pushed Jim Crow laws, and defended slavery
They like to conveniently forget that the parties had a flip. So yes, while the democrats IN NAME pushed all that abhorrent ideals, those democrats are the Republicans today.
Well, Newsweek is out as news. They should have followed up with factual history about how these parties switched. (Where are the whigs in all this???)
America always being 2 party, in my own hindsight, should have been suspect. The world is not binary.
Not that I had control of when or where I was born.
America has always been two-party (that’s the inevitable game-theory result of how our elections are designed), but it hasn’t always been the same two parties. When the Whigs were a thing, the Republican Party didn’t exist yet.
They also realigned three or four times without changing names.

They swapped names?
More “they swapped ideals” a long time ago.
Ive only ever met one modern Republican who has explicitly aknowlaged it. When he asked me “do you like any famous Republicans” I responded “Lincoln wasnt too bad and John Brown was amazing”. He immediately responded “uhhh the Republicans used to be woke, the Democrats used to be the party of freedom”.
Okay, but millions and millions of blacks, Asians, Latinos, Mexicans… etc… are republicans… are they racist?
The alr right shows have claimed to debunk that myth and that the Dems are the true racists. It’s like gas lighting for the centrists/right-wing.
That was such a disingenuous comment. Literally relying on the peoples lack of history knowledge to distort the truth. It’s fucking doublespeak.
Don’t lie to my face and tell me I like it.
During the last election, billboards had signs up in my area saying exactly that: Republicans ended slavery blah blah blah. They just bank on the wide populace to not know the history of the parties.
Amy is correct. Therefore, we should take down all the monuments to the Confederates that those Democrats put up.
I wonder if this could actually happen. Some of those local ballot measures are deliberately written in a confusing manner anyway. If someone managed to get “remove all democrat-placed statues prior to 1960” on a ballot in a red area I bet it’d pass.
Who cares about any of that.
Just ask who do the KKK vote for now
Obama? Harris? Clinton? Biden?
Reminder that the Irish and the kkk are mortal enemies.
Ask around notre dame.
A moment of silence for the chapel.
I’m not getting this one, would you like to explain what it’s about?
Not really. Duck duck go it.
Trump, Trump, Jill Stein (David Duke doesnt like Israel)
While that is the pop culture explanation it isn’t quite right. In order for the parties to have flipped. The rural xenophobic bigots would have had to go to the Republican party. And the Republicans fascists would have had to have gone to the Democratic party.
The KKK and the bigots switched. The parties didn’t really. The true irony being the KKK and Southern bigots were the huge influence on European fascists. But in the United States they were technically opposed simply because they had traditionally been in different political parties. But civil rights legislation brought about a realignment. Our ignorant xenophobic bigots and our fascist suddenly found themselves Brothers in Arms.
The party’s polarized along the xenophobia and bigotry lines. But they didn’t really switch.
Only one party is enacting fascism here and it’s not the Democrats. Such delusion.
I didn’t say otherwise. I literally implied that the xenophobic bigots and the fascists all joined together in the Republican Party. You need to work on reading comprehension I think.
The rural xenophobic bigots would have had to go to the Republican party.
That did happen
And the Republicans fascists would have had to have gone to the Democratic party.
This did not. So where did you say the opposite of what this means?
Yes the whole point of that statement was pointing out that the latter didn’t happen. It was a rhetorical statement. The framing before that statement made it quite obvious. Stating that in order for the parties to have switched. The fascists would have to leave the Republican party. Which anyone who is informed knows did not happen. You are agreeing with me while attacking me.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about
Wish more people realized this. They actually still think they are the party of Lincoln.
We think that because the Republican party has been made up of minorities for years now. I find it funny how you call Republicans racist, when a large majority of us are minorities ourselves.
And as I like to say, we used to prescribe cigarettes for asthma. The times will change.
lol
