    This is the right way to deal with this administration.

    They don’t negotiate in good faith. What trust do you have on a government who will rip up any agreement you made with it to satisfy the alt right?

        “Alt-right” is a bit of an obsolete euphemism at this point (since normal people are finally starting to catch on that those of us who’ve been calling them “fascists” for a decade really weren’t exaggerating), but it’s not inaccurate.

          It pisses me off that there are still so-called “independents” and Elevated Centrists that are even still, this week, today, telling people like me that it’s “hysterical” and “mean” and we should mind our “tone” when calling these dickheads what they are: Nazis.

            The thing I’ve been repeating? We literally hanged people exactly like Charlie Kirk for crimes against humanity at Nuremberg. If Kirk were alive in 1930s Germany, he would have been challenging people to debate him about “the Jewish question.”

          Exactly.

          It used to mean the far right that wasn’t mainstream Republicans, now it’s the mainstream so there’s nothing alt about it any more.

          I might be being a bit pedantic. When I say “alt-right”, I’m referring to the base of supporters.

          Fascists, to me, means the people empowered by the state who are seeking power for themselves.
