The Republican Party is openly becoming a White Supremacy, anti-semitic, male-dominant Neo-Nazis cult. Here is the proof of that statement.

The Trump National Doral resort will host two antisemites who have promoted pro-Adolf Hitler propaganda and spread virulently antisemitic conspiracy theories. They will be speaking at an event in Miami alongside numerous Team Trump personalities, including Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and Devin Nunes.
Trump Doral speaker Scott McKay, who has a streaming show on Rumble, has claimed that Jewish people orchestrated 9/11 and were responsible for the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and William McKinley. He has also said that Jewish people routinely torture children and eat their hearts.
He has praised Hitler for supposedly trying to take down a Jewish banking system and said, “Hitler was actually fighting the same people that we’re trying to take down today.”
Trump Doral speaker Charlie Ward, who also streams a show on Rumble, has shared posts praising Hitler for supposedly “warning us” about Judaism; claiming that “VIRUSES are Man (JEW) made”; and attacking the alleged Jewish media for supposedly lying about the Holocaust.
The two are featured speakers in the “ReAwaken […]
Like Amanda Marcotte I, too, have wondered how it is possible a woman can be a Republican and a member of a male-dominant cult committed to controlling a woman’s right to control her own body. I think she has written a pretty good take on why women are still able to be Republicans — they like imposing cruelty on others who frighten or disgust them, proving yet again that cruelty and nastiness have become hallmarks of the Republicans and one of the leading trends producing the Great Schism Trend.

Late last month, a bill that would have banned nearly all abortion (and likely would have been used to restrict hormonal birth control as well) was defeated in the South Carolina state senate, despite it being one of the most conservative legislatures in the country. The defeat drew national headines in no small part because of how it went down: The only five women in the Senate, three of whom are Republicans, filibustered the bill into oblivion. At times, the Republican women sounded downright, well, feminist.
South Carolina is not some outlier state where the rare bird of the pro-choice Republican flourishes, to be clear. In the same speech denouncing abortion bans, Shealy insisted she is still “pro-life.” […]

I haven’t bought a car since 2013 and realized as I read this story, I have not been paying enough attention — other than the conversion to EVs — to the trend going on with automobiles. This is just a very personal example of how wealth inequality is altering our society. America is a car culture, and when someone who works fulltime can’t afford to buy a new car, we have a problem.
Juan David Ramirez knows that his 2012 Nissan Juke SL is on its last legs. But buying a new carin the Orlandoareathese days reminds him of car buying in his home country in Colombia, where only the wealthy can afford new cars.
Ramirez, 33, and his wife Angelica Castro-Calle really want a new, small SUV with a little space for camping and paddleboarding gear. But despite good jobs in finance and business contracting, the couple’s monthly loan payment would run around $700 for the $35,000 models they are looking at, before dealer markups.
So they plan to patch up the Nissan, which is paid off. He blames the manufacturers and dealers for charging so much for new cars.
“They’re going to price out a certain segment of the market and of the demographic,” Ramirez said. “But that’s something they’re probably okay with.”
Even as inflation is easing and global chip supply shortages are beginning to resolve, more Americans are being priced out of the nation’s new car market, industry and government data suggests. Spending on new cars by the […]
I listened to Abbott look at the camera with a straight face and say the mass killings in Texas are the result of mental illnesses issues, not guns, and he wanted to focus on mental health as if the world didn’t know that not long ago he cut $200 million from Texas mental health programs. Gregg Abbott is trying as hard as he can to become the Texas version of Viktor Orban, next to Trump the Republican Party’s favorite idol.

Greg Abbott of Texas continues to make a strong case for being the nation’s most inept governor. The latest mass shootings in his state mark a shameful low point.
It’s not just that he’s a gun owner and a Republican, because let’s face it, elected officials from both parties cash gun-lobby checks. It’s his very public mishandling of the gun-violence epidemic that sets him apart.
Abbott is the governor who posted an infamous tweet Oct. 28, 2015, celebrating guns, and he has kept it online as it gets more and more cringe-worthy. It was still up Sunday morning, the day after a gunman opened fire at an outlet mall outside Dallas. At least eight dead. At least seven others wounded. And yet there is Abbott on the record:
Texas had 18 mass shootings the year he tweeted that, according to the Gun Violence Archive. As a country, we lost 468 people […]
I have spent the last two days listening to various news channels talk about the latest mass murder in Allen, Texas and what I find very notable about all of it is, first, the soulless crap I hear Republicans saying and, second, how little of the conversation and commentary focuses on the fact this American mass murder crisis centers on christofascist perpetrators. The truth that no one wants to talk about is that we have not one but two gun crisises in the United States. One is the insane gun obsession of rightwing Americans, the other is almost all of these murders are carried out by MAGAts.

The man who murdered eight people using an AR-15 at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, Saturday likely identified with neo-Nazi beliefs, The Washington Post reports.
Allen resident Mauricio Garcio, according to The Post wore a “patch on his chest” at the time of the shooting that read “RWDS,” meaning “Right Wing Death Squad,” a “phrase popular among right wing extremists, neo-Nazis and white supremacists.”
Additionally, NBC reports Garcia “interacted with neo-Nazi and white supremacist content online.”
Last year, an Anti-Defamation League’s Center (ADLC) on Extremism report revealed “all extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists,” adding, “More than four out of five extremist-related murders last year were committed by white supremacist right-wing extremists.”
In 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded 4,613 firearms-related deaths in Texas. The state’s annual death toll from guns has increased steadily since 2014.
Led by Abbott, Texas has moved in recent years to loosen restrictions on firearms. In 2021, the state began allowing permitless carry so residents can carry […]
