Neonazis and the Alarming Rise of MAGA Extremism
No, not that N word. I’m talking about neonazis. You can’t read the news today and not be shocked by how much worse (honest?) MAGA has become in the last few weeks. And when I say worse, I mean actually worse than “there’s fine people on both sides” and all of the other bar-obliterating insanity we’ve seen up until now.
The Disturbing Reality
This feels different. We have an American city under siege by a coordinated neonazi operation. And even more incredible, it’s actually been co-opted or taken up by none other than the GOP candidate for president. This is happening in the United States. According to CNN, we now know that neonazis (Blood Tribe) were key players in amplifying the phony rumors about Haitian immigrants. They marched through Springfield with rifles and swastikas earlier this summer. The city is now shutting down schools and receiving bomb threats. A local university has had to shut down due to a mass shooting threat, probably by those same neonazis… or Trump supporters inspired by them.
Another Threshold Crossed
Europe has been dealing with neonazis for decades. They’ve started to infect the upper echelons of their political systems again. They’ve been percolating in our country in one form or another for just as long if not longer. But now one of their ops has been taken up as the primary GOP talking point of a presidential candidate just one month out from our elections.
This is Not OK
It’s time to face up to the reality that Trump is, has been, or at least has become a de facto neonazi leader. Yes, he’s always been racist and crazy. Yes, he’s old and possibly senile. And yes, Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House Chief Strategist, has also been working with actual neonazis for some time now. Sadly (but importantly), it’s time to start looking at this latest development for what it actually is. This is MAGA removing its sheep’s clothing and upping the ante on what’s allowed to be part of our political discourse. This is MAGA inviting in neonazi ideas, publicly and proudly.
The Public Turn Towards Extremism
Make no mistake about what the public turn towards Laura Loomer means, what it signals to neonazis and their groupies and friends of friends nationwide.
Facing the Reality
It’s time for our country, our media, to start being honest about what Stephen Miller and Trump are doing right now, where it’s coming from, what it represents, and what it portends if Harris doesn’t win.
It’s Happening Here
Because it’s happening. It’s happening here. And our society is totally unprepared.
Desperation and Propaganda
Out of desperation, possibly because of actual mental illness, Trump has opened up his campaign to loud and proud neonazi propaganda.
What Will America Do?
It has happened. So what will America do about it now that this rubicon has been crossed?
Time for Action
It’s time for a lot more than just one news host on CNN to be talking about neonazis.
