The cousin of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller slammed him in a scathing post Thursday night after a woman was shot dead by an ICE agent.

“When I called out my cousin for being the ‘face of evil’ I DID NOT stutter,” Alisa Kasmer wrote on Threads, referring to a Facebook post she made last year.

“Renee Nicole Good’s death is blood on YOUR hands, Stephen. I’m just glad our grandparents are no longer alive to witness the shame you have brought to our family.”

      I just saw someone again with that “Republicans are not conservatives” thing, but seriously, what’s the real difference? Most conservatives at least tolerate Nazis in their midst, and usually at least agree with most of their stance on things like culture and race. The Republican party is the party for conservatives. And neither conservatives nor Republicans (if we are going to try to distinguish the two) don’t seem to do any systemic policing of the Nazi shit in their ranks. If anything, they encourage it.

      When someone does this “but Republicans are not really conservative”, I don’t even know what they mean at this point. The natural endpoint for conservatism is the same as what the Nazi Party arrived at. It’s about the vibes and the emotional tendencies and the mental illness that right wing authoritarianism (RWA) leads to.

      Despite the claims by conservatives about others - meaning liberals - being emotional, it’s really them that are all about the vibes and the emotions. When cons talk about emotions, they are only referring to people showing empathy, but they leave out an entire range of emotions and vibes that the conservatives steep themselves in every day as a matter of course.

            This is a photo of a NazI rally, so their pageantry was disgusting even if it was well known.

            Trump tried to do that here:

        It’s the difference between the philosophy of conservatism and its practitioners. I can kinda sympathize, seeing as every mention of socialism somehow becomes a riot against the ussr.

        This is the logic I apply to the Free Palestine movement. There are anti-semites within that group, and they are tolerated by others in the movement. Therefore the Free Palestine movement is an anti-semitic movement.

        But for some odd reason I don’t think I’ll get as many upvotes as you’ve gotten.

          Weirder are the pro-Israel gang, who months before the last big kick-off were whining about Jewish space lasers.

          Anti-semites within the movement are regularly dogpiled all the time. What you call anti-semitic is not anti-semitic, it’s anti-zionist.

          You, as a zionist, are the anti-semite. And yes, anti-semetic Jewish people exist.

          Also… hate against Palestinians is anti-semitism.

          I compared Netenyahu to Hitler and you defended him. fuck off and die bitch, no one wants you here.
