      As a moderate Republican that lives in Enid, statements like this are exactly how people like him get elected. When you call all of us Nazis, calling an actual Nazi what he is means nothing.

      I moved here after he had already been elected and first saw ESJC gathering recall signatures while I was out shopping. When they said they were campaigning against a white supremacist I shrugged them off and kept shopping assuming it was standard hyperbole. A few days later I got around to googling him and realized he was an actual Nazi and was super surprised.

      When you cry wolf, no one believes you when there is a wolf. I’m sure as fuck not a white supremacist, but you just called me one. That’s how you make me ignore you when you call the next guy one.

                Although he filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and supported the Vietnam War earlier in his career, Byrd’s views changed considerably over the course of his life; by the early 2000s, he had completely renounced racism and segregation. Byrd was outspoken in his opposition to the Iraq War.

                Fuck off with your false equivalency.

                The leader of the Republican party is on record as wanting to ban Muslims from entering the country, said Obama wasn’t born in the US (because he’s black), tried to organize a putsch to overthrow a democratically elected government, diverted COVID supplies from areas who didn’t support him politically, and is calling refugees “animals.”

            So you’re calling me a nazi

            Nope. I specifically said “white supremacist or enabler of white supremacists”, which is accurate for every Republican.

            While all nazis are white supremacists, not all white supremacists are nazis. Nazism is a specific kind of white supremacist ideology that isn’t identical to the brand of white supremacist fascism currently ruling the GOP.

            people I neither support nor associate with

            Calling yourself a Republican is as textbook “supporting or associating with” the Republican Party as it gets and the Republican Party is a white supremacist fascist party. Ergo, you’re either lying or don’t know what the words you’re using mean. Probably a bit of both, as is standard for the Trump cult.

            It convinces me to never associate with you

            Don’t threaten me with the lack of an awful time 😄

            it also means that when you call anyone else a nazi, I will straight up ignore you

            Well it’s not like you paid that close attention the first time around, what with changing what words I used 🙄

            you are actively enabling nazis by harboring and covering them

            Nope, that would be you and the rest of your buddies in the fascist party pretending that you’re just “moderate conservatives” that in no way associate with fascists by voting for a fascist party and identifying as being part of a fascist party.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Blevins faced the recall vote after local activists learned that he had marched alongside neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 and led an Oklahoma chapter of the white nationalist group Identity Evropa.

    As voters trickled into polling stations Tuesday, many said they didn’t vote in that race and had no idea back then that Blevins, a former Marine who now works for his family’s roofing business, had been active in white nationalist groups.

    The articles included photos of Blevins in 2017, marching alongside tiki torch-wielding neo-Nazis at a rally in Charlottesville and the next day at Unite the Right, carrying the original Oklahoma flag at an event where counterprotesters were beaten and a woman was murdered.

    They included screenshots of Blevins’ posts: racist and antisemitic writings in secret forums and chats where he identified himself under a pseudonym as the Oklahoma state coordinator for Identity Evropa, one of the largest and most active white nationalist organizations in the alt-right movement.

    In November — after six months of activism, protests and heated speeches at the city’s regular council meetings — when it became clear that Blevins would neither explain nor apologize, the ESJC submitted the signatures it had collected and filed a recall petition.

    He compared himself to former President Donald Trump, besieged on all sides by a faction of far-left “perverts” and a deep state within the City Council that went all the way up to the mayor, whom he accused of working with the ESJC and orchestrating Patterson’s candidacy.

            No, white is a race. Race has a genetic factor. I think if this man were 100% African, and tried to march with the Nazis, people would address the fact that he was not white. I think even news reporters would touch upon the fact that he was not white.

            A person can strap on a pair of fake wings and wear a tutu, running around screaming that he, or she, is a fairy princess, but it does not indeed make that person a fairy princess.

                That’s not true. A lot of people may have origin ties to Africa, but there are some dna lines that didn’t start in Africa.

              of course not. that is, unless as a society we construct an identity “fairy princess” that is defined as strapped on fake wings, a tutu, and proclaiming oneself to be one.

                I’m fairly certain the parent commenter is either a troll and/or heavily on the spectrum and is extremely literal while armed with bad information. I’m leaning towards the former.

              No, white is a race.

              in so far as all race is a social construct, and whiteness is one of those constructs, this is true.
