Outrage as DeSantis Staffer 'Retweets' Nazi Symbol Video: 'Disgusting' - Lemmy.world

A video which features Ron DeSantis that includes a symbol often associated with neo-Nazi groups has been met with outrage after it was allegedly retweeted by his campaign team.

I guess Rhonda Sandtits is trying really hard to be as equally awful as the orange shitstain that he’s running against
I hate both parties equally, but Republicans are Nazis, fascists, and racist. Democrats are just corporate lobbyists.

I'm not a fan of either party but one of them are outright fascists courting the most hateful ignorant people to win votes.

The other are corporate sellouts, maybe one day if we all go vote we can drag the discussion back to the left a little and get an actual lefty candidate instead of corpo whores

The DNC is literally just a corporation and there is absolutely no future for left politics within it’s hostile structure. As the rate of profit continues to fall, they will continue to follow the republicans in implementing fascist policies because those are the short-term profitable policies their corporate owners demand.

The success of mild democratic socialism in some western countries was a historical anomaly that owed it’s existence to two conditions that no longer exist: the presence of a colonial economic bounty, and the need to complete with the Soviet Union.

Listen, you're not wrong in the long term. But right at this moment in history a true dem majority in both chambers brings the feasible voting reform (new voting rights bill and maaaaaaaaybe ranked choice voting (I know that's a pipe dream)) that can lead towards true reform without a revolution that will only injure poor people more than rich people like they always do.

If the repubs right now win, we're going to see a war. Or worse, just a straight up dictatorship

We already live in a dictatorship and we already have a war
We definitely don't, and that kind of hyperbole doesn't help

When was the last time you voted on whether to invade another country, or double the price of food, or to turn something as simple and basic as health care into a luxury commodity until people can’t afford to have teeth? I don’t remember voting to let covid rip or give tanks and murder robots to the cops.

All of these decisions were made for us, because they made the donor class more money, and we live in a dictatorship of the rich.

Republicans are also corporate lobbyists in addition to being nazis

Right?

I dislike water chestnuts, but I’d hate one soaked in radioactive diarrhea a lot more.

Another quote to add to my now begun collection of (political) analogies. The second one after “Voting for [right wing party name] is like shitting in your own bed because you’re angry about not being able to sleep at night”

Here’s one I reappropriated and modified from a dumb Conservative that was using it innefectually:

Conservatives are like vegan cats, fed the wrong shit so it’s all they can regurgitate.

This one in particular isn’t doing a good job of it though, considering he’s been biting the hand that feeds Florida with his Disney feuds. Really, clowns like DeSantis should be all the proof corporate America needs to understand these nazis will turn on them in a heartbeat too, but capitalism loves fascism too much to really step in.
Ever notice how nothing Democrats do to resist Republican fascism works? That’s by design.
While I disagree that it’s “by design,” I will grant you that they definitely benefit the more loathesome the far right becomes. Their goal is absolutely to get elected and stay in power, it’s not to do away with the fascist edifice quickly being built higher and higher to the right of them. Trump’s brand of open racism and hostility was a boon for the democrats. They raised an obscene amount of funds from citizens while continuing their donations from business. Trumps basically widened their revenue stream. If we stay mad and scared, they stay flush. Which…huh…is very much the far right strategy as well, isn’t it?

Ratchet politics.

Repubs move right and dems prevent moving back left.

Who won the civil war? Do republicans need to be told again?

Who won the civil war?

The Republicans headed by Abraham Lincoln…

They fought the Democrat southern states who were not happy giving up slavery.

Misinformation is allowed in this sub so that conservatives can pretend that the southern strategy never happened.
So based on your reply you’re a loser Southern state Democrat who’s still salty about losing your slaves. You do realise we know which side is which despite how disingenuous you try to be, you’ll always be a loser.
You asked which side won and specifically mentioned Republicans. I responded with which side won.
Being intentionally belligerent doesn’t make you intelligent, but the way you avoid my accusation proves it was on point.

I hate both parties equally.

Words to chuckle at.

They are and it’s the main reason both are against any other parties in the US. I find it absolutely hilarious that people defend either party when wage growth is nonexistent. Health care and insurance is a fucking racket and housing prices and rents are ridiculous. But hey cheer for my side, they’re better! 🤡🤡🤡
I hope you don’t hate Nazis, fascists, and racists as much as corporate lobbyists.
So you hate them equally even though one party is racist and fascist? Like that doesn’t tip the scales at all?
Supreme court justices from both parties voted unanimously to kill ethnic reforms. Yea, just the Republicans are corrupt. The house and Senate voted down a ban on stock trading. Yeah, keep up your fangirling for your side.
