There is a #tech youtuber called codehead that included a gif of #nazi nick #fuentes in one of his videos. I asked in a comment if they did it on purpose and they were coy about it with a "mayhaps" reply. They hearted my comment, maybe thinking we were doing a secret handshake or something. Here is the video. #youtube

AVOID CODEHEAD. DON'T NORMALIZE NAZIS.

Attached is a screenshot of my comment and their reply. Now I gotta go take a shower.

An open admirer of Adolf Hitler,
#Nick #Fuentes preaches to his 1.2 million X followers that the MAGA movement’s biggest problem is that it’s not racist enough.

Since the death of Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA,
Fuentes has been attempting to take his place as a major MAGA leader.

Fuentes has had help from figures like former Fox News host #Tucker #Carlson,
who suggested
Fuentes’ views “have won” during a fawning October interview with the podcaster.

Piers Morgan, a conservative who is more moderate than Carlson, wanted to frame Fuentes as a freak.

He asked the 27-year-old Nazi apologist if he’s ever had sex.

⚠️“No, absolutely not,” Fuentes said.

He complained “women are very difficult to be around”
and suggested men who do have sex end up “henpecked.”

“You think you’re an expert on women, given you never got laid?” Morgan replied.

👉Fuentes is no outlier in MAGA.

In 2025, the right’s leaders and influencers revealed
the deep sexual dysfunction driving their movement.

The constant drumbeat of weird sexual displays is likely a major reason the MAGA coalition,
which was flying high at the beginning of the year,
is losing popularity rapidly,
especially with younger voters.

Being a 27-year-old virgin who deems himself an expert on other people’s sex lives doesn’t stand out in a community where few seem to have a healthy relationship with human sexuality.

Trumpist leaders love pointing the finger at LGBTQ+ people and liberals,
calling them “groomers”
and suggesting they’re violent perverts.

But in 2025, the nation really saw how much that behavior is old-fashioned psychological #projection.

Certainly, the biggest example of this is the #Epstein #files,
the 5.2 million pages of documents collected by the Justice Department during the investigation into accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein,
who died in jail awaiting trial in 2019.

As the files continue to leak out ever so slowly,
Trump’s frantic efforts to prevent their release make more sense.

It’s not just that a notorious convicted sex criminal deemed himself
“Don’s best friend”
and appeared closer to Trump than any other human being in the president’s life for nearly two decades.

From Trump reportedly writing Epstein a birthday card that celebrated how he had “certain things in common” with a man accused of abusing minors
to stories about Epstein victims being raped at Trump’s house while he hosted parties,
the nation got a glimpse of the sexual world the president apparently inhabited,
or at least stood in close proximity to,
-- one which wasn’t glamorous but simply gross.

Podcast host #Megyn #Kelly exposed the dilemma for Trump’s defenders in November when she 🔥attempted to minimize raping minors.

“There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old,” she complained,
describing Epstein’s victims as
“the barely legal type.”

As many immediately pointed out,
there’s nothing legal, barely or otherwise, about raping girls as young as 14,
which is what Epstein was charged with doing.

Kelly was deluged with people posting photos of 14- and 15-year-old girls,
demonstrating how childish they look,
which also underscored how ghastly it is that Epstein and Trump hung out together to leer at girls under the guise of “judging” modeling contests.

“To generate relevancy and influence, social-media algorithms demand spectacle, conflict, and edginess. #Fuentes is a master of all three. He doesn’t have the money or resources #TPUSA does, but you don’t need those things to go viral or to win hearts and minds online. And he didn’t need to physically be at #AmericaFest2025 to be inside everyone’s heads.”

RIP to the #Heritage #Foundation, which functionally died this week,
as its most prominent staffers made a beeline for the exit.

The Suspect: President Trump and his posse of online shitposters.

The weapon: Antisemitism.

The room: Phoenix Convention Center.

Having offered up their not-inconsiderable reputations and intellectual firepower,
these once-respected thinkers realized too late that they were never steering the ship.

The goal was always a personalist regime that wrecked the economy for the benefit of a few oligarchs.

#Antisemitism is at the center of the Republican project.

From decrying “globalists” and #George #Soros, to embracing the “real” Jews in Israel,
the GOP is inextricably entwined with #Christian #nationalism.

In polite company, the party manages to keep this antisemitism as subtext.

They openly attack other minorities, particularly trans people and Muslims;

But Jew-hatred is expressed as rage at “#elites” or ancient blood libel repackaged for the modern era, such as Pizzagate and Qanon.

“Trolling the libs” necessitates saying the unsayable.
And Trump, who won by embracing the most online people on earth,
is constantly playing footsie with the fringe figures who endorse him.

That’s how he wound up hosting #Kanye #West and #Nick #Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in 2022,
both avowed antisemites and #Holocaust #deniers.

But bringing trolls inside the tent means the GOP can’t plausibly deny that they’re central to the project.

Republicans can’t very well maintain a veneer of separation from bomb throwers like #Alex #Jones, #Candace #Owens, and #Laura #Loomer
when they’re being boosted by the president himself.

And so the “normie” Gippers steadfastly assure themselves that they are the real GOP — the signal, not the noise.

J.D. Vance spoke Sunday at Turning Point USA’s annual #AmericaFest conference,
where Erika #Kirk, widow of the group’s slain founder, endorsed Vance for president in 2028.

👉Vance demonized “the left,”
👉promoted Christian nationalism and right-wing populist conspiracy theories,
and, unlike other speakers,
👉refused to criticize far-right and antisemitic elements of the conservative movement like fascist personality Nick Fuentes. 

Other conference speakers were willing to challenge the movement’s bigots and extremists.
Podcaster Ben #Shapiro took on Tucker #Carlson for having provided Nick #Fuentes with an overly friendly platform from which to spread his poison.
(Carlson, also invited to speak, mocked Shapiro’s concerns.)
Former presidential candidate Vivek #Ramaswamy challenged Fuentes's bigotry along with racially coded ideas like “Heritage Americans” that have taken root in the MAGA movement.

But Vance, who has his eye on 2028, was apparently not willing to risk alienating anyone on the right,
-- demonstrating the concept of #NETTR
—“no enemies to the right”
—that has been at the center of the ongoing turmoil over Heritage Foundation President
Kevin #Roberts defense of Carlson’s promotion of Fuentes.

“President Trump did not build the greatest coalition in politics by running his supporters through endless self-defeating purity tests,” Vance said from the stage
