CPAC 2021: Return of the Fash and The GOP's Golden Calf

That Odal rune stage is something else. It still shocks me at times how quickly the GOP has devolved into a literal Nazi party.

Well, he just formed a major super-pac, and he is speaking at CPAC on Sunday. He makes a lot of calls and operates mob boss style behind the scenes.
If anyone had a small shred of doubt about the Republican party casting off the stench of Trump and moving forward, this convention should obliterate it. They are fully embracing the absolute insanity of Trump and misinformation.
After about a month and a half of not seeing or hearing about all these people in the media or Twitter(because many of them are flat out banned) and detoxing, seeing all this information coming out and hearing them speak is actually more revolting than it was when it was a daily thing with Trump.
We cannot, CANNOT let them get into a position of power ever again.

Because at the end of the day these cartoon villains are seen as the frontline soldiers defending whiteness, Christianity, and "Patriots". They're the seen as the last line of defense against the "Radical Left" who want to turn YOUR children into Trans Athiest Antifa Communists.
When you're living on a 24/7 diet of Fox News and conservative talk radio, that's how you view anyone who isn't a Republican these days.
All while saying "we're not Nazis" and calling the left Nazis. While having literal goose-stepping, card-carrying Nazis in the fold.
It's frustrating how easily they two-face everything they do.
Won't last for long considering how poor his fox ratings were the other week
I loathe to check myself but I want to ask, considering their programming (which is none) is this circus getting network play? Obviously when their god king shows up they will play him endlessly on loop while they masturbate, but are your run of the mill nazi nimrod's getting airtime
Not on CNN or MSNBC. I have Fox News blocked so I can't see that, but I'd bet they have wall to wall coverage.
"The radical left and their corporate allies"
those words don't go together, hawley

Marginalizing his constituents by playing at CPAC instead of helping out?
I'm beginning to wonder if these dudes recognise their own hands
But this is America. It always has been. 40% of the country if not more, has always fallen on the wrong side of history. Just pick an era and you'll find these same kinds of people. Slavery, Civil Rights, Gay Rights.
After an issue is accepted at large by society, they just move on to the next topic of bigotry. "Oh, people now accept gay marriage? Yeah, that's fine. I never was opposed!" That can make it easier to forget what these people stand for in between the next big social divide.
Today it's Trumpism. Likely in 20 years the country will have collective amnesia as most people agree that Trumpism was a bad idea. But those same people will still be around, just waiting for the next thing they can latch on to that let's them hate on others.
Dude's probably not a fan of stuff like Disney's recent pushes in diversity/politically correctness and firing people like Carano.
This is so ridiculous it makes me wonder if Sacha Baron Cohen is going to leap out of it as Borat and start singing.
Are the GOP using this imagery to scare the libs into thinking they're a murder/death cult? Or are they just a murder/death cult?
It's probably a single organization. There are usually hundreds at these things. It is gross, ridiculous and hypocritical, but it's not the centerpiece of CPAC.
I know the media is making a big deal about this because it's mind blowingly tone deaf, but we should be much more worried about the hate pouring out from our elected officials more than this sideshow stuff.
It's on a sliding scale somewhere between "this triggers the libs, which excites our base" and "we can finally celebrate who we are, Hail Hydra".
I tend to think this kind of open behavior from them is becoming normalized because of the "trigger the libs" aspect. But as it becomes normal, they realize they legitimately like it for its own sake; it is empowering to be honest and not play along with polite society.
I mean, sitting Senators and Reps that literally had their lives threatened still voted to overturn the election results for the guy that sent their would-be murderers after them. And those same Senators and Reps exonerated them. And they were booing being told to wear a mask at CPAC.
So, they kinda are a literal murder/death cult.
But all the smug lawyers on Twitter say that trying to regulate hate speech is a slippery slope to losing the first amendment!
...And yet the only developed nation I know of that recently had an attempted coup is the one that doesn't have any hate speech laws. Funny how that works! 😒
I would love for Nicholson to show up and just recreate the church-scene from The Witches of Eastwick.
Trump lives at a country club, but he acts like trailer trash. With his ill-fitting suits, 3rd-grade vocabulary, fast food feasts, and of course his "common sense solutions" to hurricanes (nukes), disease (bleach), foreign policy (nukes) and racism (bleach).
So it was announced by Nick Fuentes at his AFPAC, aka the competing conference held by actual masks off racists, that Rep Paul Gosar will be giving their keynote speech.
Yes, an actual congressman, with committee assignments, who will be speaking at CPAC earlier that day in fact, will be speaking at a white nationalist convention.

Yeah, and AFPAC is white supremacists convention without mincing words. Much antisemitism.
also, he speaks at CPAC today. Gosar is despicable.

I feel so helpless knowing that all this...essentially hate speech is going on and MANY MANY people (see millions) eat it up as FACT and continues to divide the country. And the inciters who spew all this fake nonsense will CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH IT and even BENEFIT FROM IT with NO CONSEQUENCES.
Look it up, just look it up
LOOK IT UP!
...
They know people are going to look it up on Facebook and get all their beliefs reinforced.

100% the general public has no business or even knows how to begin doing "research".
great take
The country is irreparably divided, and I don't see a clear path forward that doesn't involve some dark times.
Blah blah politician blah blah Kevin Sorbo blah blah just randomly in there
It's so random, it doesnt get old lmao
I feel a little vindicated for thinking he was a pretty damn unconvincing Hercules
Clean shaven blonde Hercules fuuuuck outta here
OP
OP
Honestly a little disappointed they didn't invite Gina (maybe they did) as 75% of their schtick seems to be culture wars instead of policy.
Apparently Hercules was before he had a "born again" come to jesus moment and went super religious nutso, though.
Wow is this true? Used to love Pawn Stars but haven't seen it in ages. If this true then I will continue to not watch it. What about his son and the rest of them?
