He’s not talking about Trump or anyone in power when he says “being taken over by Nazis”… he’s talking about podcasters… Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, etc. Only negative thing he said about the people in power or looking for power is Ken Paxton being a terrible candidate.

Just for context… since no one ever reads anything anymore and just relies on headlines and other people’s equally uninformed comments on those articles that they didn’t read.

K. I was just giving context for this particular article because it seemed like people thought Karl Rove was calling out Republican leadership as Nazis… which he was not… but I’m glad you got a chance to get that out there.

And do the republicans do or say anything to stop these pieces of shit? No, because they benefit republicans. If all the Nazis support you, that says a lot in and of itself.

Let’s not play the podcaster game… this sub in particular has been trying to distance Democrat candidates from the likes of Hasan Piker. Everyone wants to dip into the “transgressive podcaster’s audience”… hell didn’t even Hunter Biden go on Fuentes’ show… or am I imagining that?

There are actually a lot of conservative commentators who rightly call him a Nazi piece of shit and say he and his supporters have no place in the party. A number of conservatives also blasted Tucker Carlson for his interview of Fuentes. If you’ll remember in 2022, Trump had dinner with the fucker and a lot of elected conservative representatives rightly skewered him for it.

Anyone even entertaining that asshole or any of the other Nazi ass grifters on the Right should be rightly called out. I wish folks here on the Left would have the balls to say the same about people holding hands with Piker… a man who has said he actively hates the country multiple times, has a great respect for some of the worst dictators in history, said America deserved 9/11, and shocks his dog to make him stay in place. All of it… Fuentes, Piker, Carlson, Candace Owens… all these people chasing clicks and shock value and conspiracy theories should be relegated to the sidelines and outright dismissed by everyone. Any politicians playing footsies with them needs to be called out too. Looking at you Vance, Massie, El-Sayed, Kiros, Lee, Chevalier, and probably a bunch others I’m blanking on

There has been fighting among the Far Right, but very little push back among conservatives in power. Just like when Trump told the Proud Boys to stand by. Until the GOP saw how bad their latest numbers were, no one questioned Trump. They either attacked anyone who questioned or sane washed his statements. Only a few like Massie pushed back on Trump, and the rest of the party turned on them.
