Neo-Nazis demanding a seat at the conservative table
An interesting turn of events in conservative US politics, Neo-Nazis have been showing up to mainstream conservative events and asserting their place as part of the movement.
There has been a series of events in which neo-nazis and other right wing nationalists have been heckling mainstream conservative types. This seems to be an escalation of the conflict between Turning Point's Charlie Kirk, a campus-based mainstream conservative group, and Nick Fuentes, a white-nationalist internet pundit. The nationalists have been attending TPUSA events and demanding that they be heard, or otherwise heckling the events. This has escaped the Kirk-Fuentes feud now as Donald Trump Jr. was similarly heckled by nationalists at one of his book tour events. It seems that the extreme right is no longer happy to accept dog-whistles and token efforts and is demanding that their ideas be taken seriously and answered directly. The nationalists have the opinion that MAGA has failed to be sufficiently anti-immigrant, anti-free trade, and generally not as extreme as promised. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...P=share_btn_tw https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/char...ing-point-usa/ |

I'm all for it. Force Magascum and Trumptrash to embrace the logical outcome of their "ideas".

You have to admit, Trump's been doing a pretty fine job of straddling the fence, playing the mainstream conservative while still making fairly bold gestures to the fringe right. His veneer of deniability is pretty thin as it is, but I guess the Nazis want open endorsement at this point.
But talk is cheap, and the Nazis want more. Hope this rift tears the party apart, but I'm not sure what the play is here for the right wingers. Hopefully they are too short-sighted to see that Trump is their best option at the moment and continue to attack their own. |

I like how his side piece, who he also acquired from FOX News, spoke to them like a bunch of children.

The Kirk guy was on stage with Don Jr. at that event. The Neon-Nazis planned to ask him questions that would expose his alleged agenda and make it impossible for Don Jr and Sr to further associate with him. This schism is most of all about them trying to isolate people they think have infiltrated and are subverting their MAGA thing on behalf of a foreign power (guess which). |

That detail did escape my attention. Perhaps the heckling of Trump Jr. was largely collateral damage in the extreme right's focus on Kirk. I'll be interested to see if this activity grows to include other mainstream conservatives, or if it remains focused on Kirk.
My understanding is that the far-right aren't particularly fond of the Trump children, or at least they don't like Ivanka and Jared, as they are seen as moderating voices in opposition to Trump's most reactionary instincts. |

The orders from the Neon-Nazi Führer came loud and clear:

This is not an accurate description of the event. A full video of the event is here.

Sure, and they generally love Tucker. Prime-time fox opinion is closing the gap between mainstream conservatives and open white nationalism. Turning Point USA has been a very public about distancing itself from open white nationalists, so they are being targeted as an example to the rest of conservatism.

The squabble continues:
Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a conservative campus group, has dropped Michelle Malkin after her support of open white supremacist Nick Fuentes. https://www.thedailybeast.com/conser...locaust-denier YAF is shocked to learn that Malkin, author of the book "In Defense of Internment", is an ethno-nationalist. |

Sure, there's a certain amount of schadenfreude in watching these guys "realize" what we've been telling them all along, but look on the bright side: it's clear from their behavior that, even if they don't realize that racism is inherently wrong, they're at least starting to realize that it might be a losing electoral position - which means that they're hearing something, from somewhere, that's finally convinced them they're losing votes over this. Which means that a significant number of actual voters have realized that racism is inherently wrong. That's got to be a good thing. |

As well they should demand a seat at the table. It's been over two years since Der Trumpenfuher said they were very fine people.

According to Daniel Harper of the I don't speak German podcast, many of the neo-nazis he knows have a thing for the Asian ladies. Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer spent a fair amount of time in Davao City, Philippines, hitting on everything that moved, including girls as young as 14.

Good old Tokenism and Model Minority at work. A lot of people forget that the Nazis have always had a thing for Asians. Hitler himself referred to the Japanese as "honorary Aryans". He did the same for the Arab rulers of Palestine, who were themselves engaged in pogroms against the Jewish communities there. |

I am very disgusted at Consevatives in America at the moment. Not least because on some fiscal issues and defense issues I would be considered a moderate conservative. No wonder a lot of conservatives call themselves "Libertarians". Problem is the crazy relatives that the conservatives had kept locked in the attic except at election day have escapes and are running all over the house. |
