    Having now checked conservative spaces, it’s 30% “are we the baddies?” 30% “it was probably taken out of context” 30% “ugh” and 10% “based”

      I went on 4chan for the first time in years, and a lot of the Nazis on there aren’t claiming him, one of them saying, and I quote, " [He’s] a cuckservative puppet trying to get H1B Indians back into the country you absolute r-".

      Like how much of a fucking LOSER do you have to be to have your dog whistle be rejected by ACTUAL NAZIS bro.

      • I really want that to be true.

        At the same time, we should probably start paying less attention to the mannerisms of an almost century-old-and-dead fascist regime, and pay more attention to our home-grown variety of the same. After all, when the bad guys come knocking, they’re going to look like the proud boys, not brownshirts.

        Reddit, lemmy, stormfront, 4/8chan, and news website article comments are my go-tos to gauge the way things are going from the perspective of the chronically online. If you have another suggestion that doesn’t require an account, I’d appreciate it

          I’m no expert, but that seems good to me!

          Unfortunately the critical mass is on Twitter/Facebook and cable news, so you are still seeing a very small slice of what the Republican base is actually getting exposed to.
