Aren’t all MAGAts MLK-hating Nazi sympathizers?

"What does he have to make him feel “superior” beyond being a white guy?"

His being Italian American, no doubt descendant of very early 20th century immigrants, means he is not really a white guy to bona fide Anglo-Saxon Aryan white guys. When he is not around they still whisper about him being a Guinea, Dago, Wop, and my favorite (that I first encountered when living in Boston decades back) Pizza N****r. He, like Miller and I suspect Steve Bannon, have had to live down a burning life long self embarrassment based on being acutely aware that he is only white adjacent, useful racist idiots kept out on the margins of power.

I'm appalled to realize that I can identify Andrew Tate in any photograph, just as I can identify Adolph Hitler's picture. It must be the Mark of Satan on them

“We need competent white men in positions of leadership,” Well, I agree with the competent part. But I have to say that it's kind of amazing, considering all the white privilege they receive in school and other arenas that there are any competent white men.

If Lankford is against him, he must have a lot more serious problems that haven't made it to the MSM. We don't need another Shitler Youth appointed to a public office.

"(20-30 year old Republicans) " At least one was 35, I read. "Young" compared to me, but still full-on adult humans. (at least we think they are human).

I can't help but wonder if a disgusting asshole like Ingrassia became who he is because his mother and/or father are equally fucked up. If not, how do the parents and siblings of these lowlifes feel about being related to Nazi bigots?

For example, remember when Paul Gosar's family actively and loudly campaigned against him?

Another day, another Trump appointee caught LARPing as Heinrich Himmler in a group chat.

These guys can’t open Signal without reenacting 1939. Then cry “AI did it” when the screenshots hit daylight.

At this point, the GOP vetting process is just: Can he spell “Mein Kampf”? Hired.

Someone should remind Paul Ingrassia that there was a period of time in which Italians and Italian Americans were not considered white in the first place.

And that there are still lots and lots of people who, while they might grudgingly acknowledge that Italians are "technically white," maintain that they're not the "right kind" of white.

He's just a young BOY. That's what BOYS do. They say edgy things. Stop clutching your pearls.

Any photo op with Andrew Taint is a subtle tell. [I cribbed that from the NYT Style Guide]

"Earlier this year, the Defense Intelligence Agency announced that it would “pause” observances of “Pride Month, Black History Month, Martin Luther King’s Birthday, Holocaust Days of Remembrance, Juneteenth” and other similar cultural events, we guess in order to avoid upsetting the delicate sensibilities of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth."

Just tell Hic!seth that they are all drinking holidays and that he proper way of celebrating them are by shelling California and JD "Give me whatever donuts normal people order" Vance and I think he will be all onboard celebrating these holidays again.
