We need to shut down fascists by disrupting their conferences and communications, and dividing them by disparaging the evangelists' support for Trump as betraying Christian values (because Trump is atheist), and by disparaging the fascists' support for evangelists as betraying the state values (in that the church doesn't listen to fascism), and so on. Divide and rule.

Communists need to have more children than the fascists.

You know if we actually wanted to get rid of these people it would be really easy. All we have to do is release some deadly but preventable disease. Then encourage everyone to get vaccines.

The problem with covid is that it wasn't really deadly for most people. So they got sick and were probably miserable but they never learnt their lesson.

I got you, fam, the word you are looking for is "jingoism".

The MAGA DOJ is the Department of Jingoism.

Every German who went to school after 1945, for one.

Just a normal hateful face.

On a comical note, a liquid's ability to hold onto a solid surface can be considered "wet".

There has been considerable scientific and philosophical debate on whether "water is wet", or if "liquids make solids wet on contact".

There, learned yet a other thing today!

(Yes. The news content has unfortunately become trite. I understood the sarcasm!)

What scares me is that Trump did this with Arctic temperature data

Down the memory hole...

Just stop testing

“We” are not maintaining the delusion that the right wing monsters are legitimate. It’s the media that has pretended these far right extremist positions are sane, and has elevated them to prominence. If they were honest about how loathsome and unamerican right wing ideals are, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Media corpos are typically run by right wingers, and are massive for-profit companies that make a killing on running election ads (presently a ~20Bn industry cyclic every 4 years), so it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that they do this. And now the Trump admin has weaponized the DOJ to go after them for any criticism at all, so this phenomenon is on steroids currently.

I strongly agree with your last sentence. The media, other politicians, etc - nobody is going to hold right wingers accountable for us. Unfortunately, we have to do it ourselves, to their dumb faces, and force them to face the uncomfortable truths of their reprehensible actions. Good luck, be strong, and find ways to consistently stand up for the morally correct positions. Keeping pressure up this way is a vital component to how we can win.

Not solely a right tactic. You also see this with product studies sponsored by big corporations.

Can't be letting pesky facts get in the way of them abolishing the Democratic party.

Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.[2] A recent threat assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concluded that domestic violent extremists are an acute threat and highlighted a probability that COVID-19 pandemic-related stressors, long-standing ideological grievances related to immigration, and narratives surrounding electoral fraud will continue to serve as a justification for violent actions.[3]

Quintez Brown attempted to kill Democratic Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, Craig Greenberg, in February 2022. Brown was motivated by Black nationalism, pan-Africanism and revolutionary socialism.

I dunno, to me revolutionary socialism is something I equate with "the left".

Still, 1 out of 30 ain't bad.
