Who goes Nazi? 2022 edition
Kanye West hates Jews. He has made that perfectly clear. Ye is an antisemite.
Nick Fuentes hates Jews. He has made that perfectly clear. He is an antisemite and a Nazi:
These two men dined with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night.
Bill Kristol asked a simple question. He asked if there were five decent Republicans who would condemn this disgrace:
Could we get two?
The answer, like always, is no. Heather Cox Richardson shared the details here.
Many years ago, Dorothy Thompson, the American journalist who was personally kicked out of Nazi Germany by Hitler, wrote one of the most brilliant columns ever published. She titled it “Who goes Nazi?” It appeared in Harper’s in August of 1941. She imagined a dinner party and conjured a parlor game in which the Nazis had to be guessed from among the attendees. It certainly stands the test of time. Recognize any archetypes?
Donald Trump’s capacity to light fires and make things burn should not be underestimated.
Donald Trump has always been a crook, liar, cheat and vicious narcissist. He was also a builder. He was.
He’s not anymore. He’s in the demolition business now. That is who he had dinner with on Tuesday night. It was a table of arsonists who want to make America burn.
The silence around it from America’s corrupted elites, like always, is the most disgusting aspect of a story that — at first glance — couldn’t be made more so.
In the end perhaps, that is Donald Trump’s special magic. He can make poison septic. That isn’t easy to do.
The silence is damning. Protest. Shun them all. Make it unacceptable to normalize these monsters. “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere....Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.” - Elie Wiesel
I read the Thompson essay. It’s brilliant. Read it if you haven’t. It’s so sad what we are seeing. The grifter from Queens holding court with those dangerous men. He must be stopped. He must not get air. Media has to stop giving him air. Thx Steve for the reminder.
