No, not that N word. I’m talking about neo-Nazis. You can’t read the news today and not be shocked by how much worse MAGA has become in the last few weeks. And when I say worse, I mean actually worse than “there’s fine people on both sides” and all of the other bar-obliterating insanity we’ve seen up until now.
But this feels different. We have an American city under siege by a coordinated neo-Nazi operation. And even more incredible, it’s actually been co-opted or taken up by none other than the GOP candidate for president. This is happening in the United States.
According to CNN, we now know that neo-Nazis (Blood Tribe) were key players in amplifying the phony rumors about Haitian immigrants. They marched through Springfield with rifles and swastikas earlier this summer. The city is now shutting down schools and receiving bomb threats. A local university has had to shut down due to a mass shooting threat, probably by those same neo-Nazis ... or Trump supporters inspired by them.
And so now another threshold has been passed.
Europe has been dealing with neo-Nazis for decades. They’ve started to infect the upper echelons of their political systems again. They’ve been percolating in our country in one form or another for just as long if not longer. But now one of their ops has been taken up as the primary GOP talking point of a presidential candidate just one month out from our elections.
This is not OK.
It’s time to face up to the reality that Trump is, has been, or at least has become a de facto neo-Nazi leader. Yes, he’s always been racist and crazy. Yes, he’s old and possibly senile. And yes, Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House Chief Strategist, has also been working with actual neo-Nazis for some time now.
Sadly (but importantly), it’s time to start looking at this latest development for what it actually is. This is MAGA removing its sheep’s clothing and upping the ante on what’s allowed to be part of our political discourse. This is MAGA inviting in neo-Nazi ideas, publicly and proudly.
Make no mistake about what the public turn towards Laura Loomer means, what it signals to neo-Nazis and their groupies and friends of friends nationwide.
It’s time for our country, our media, to start being honest about what Stephen Miller and Trump are doing right now, where it’s coming from, what it represents, and what it portends if Harris doesn’t win.
Because it’s happening. It’s happening here. And our society is totally unprepared.
Out of desperation, possibly because of actual mental illness, Trump has opened up his campaign to loud and proud neo-Nazi propaganda.
It has happened.
So what will America do about it now that this Rubicon has been crossed?
It’s time for a lot more than just one news host on CNN to be talking about neo-Nazis.
