    How the fuck have we gotten to the point where pretty much any group with Liberty, Patriot, Freedom, etc in the name is straight-up fascist?

    Furthermore, how the fuck can these groups claim to be pro-freedom while banning books, abortions, trans people, etc?

    WE. ARE. FUCKED.

      Also anything like “Americans for _” is probably an astroturf group of a few rich fucks

      They’ve always done that: the Nazis were not the least bit socialist. Just pull words that poll well and make it up from there.

        There actually were social wings in the NSDAP before the 1930s, but they have been eradicated and only the name remained.

      I mean, we did lean pretty heavily into jingoism, nationalism and anti-intellectualism for, like, the last 70-80y. As a consequence we’ve trained several generations of people to respect symbols more than the ideas that define our country. So uh, yeah, this is pretty much the expected outcome.

    Under fund, remove education material, add your own, and declare public education a failure and you can have taxes pay for private education.

      Wait, they straight up just put a Hitler quote on their web page? I thought they were slightly more subtle than that.

    Carl Kalauokalani has no children, no background in education and no experience in political or community organizing. Yet a year ago, the San Jose resident started the Santa Clara County chapter of Moms for Liberty, the far-right “parental rights” group stoking the nation’s red-hot culture wars.

    Reminds me of that picture showing the “Black Republican Committee” of Durham County, North Carolina.
