Go ahead, split the Nazi vote
You’ve got Trump supporters and everyone else. There is a massive problem in this country, which I think stems from the media. They don’t care who’s in charge, the more drama the better.
I thought the US Nazi political party was called the Republican Party?
This is getting out of hand - now there are two of them!
I hope they battle each other
We’ve had one Nazi party, yes, but what about second Nazi party?
you’re not wrong
Theres the SS then there’s the brownshirts
Maybe a weirdly bent windmill for a logo eh?
It’s going to need 4 blades on the windmill. For the, erm, symmetry?
How could Trump successfully use the America first slogan with that history?
Rhetorical question, right?
No. It is a level of dog whistling that everybody but Fox News should point out.
And yet mainstream media has been hesitant to point out dog whistles at least since the George W. Bush administration (circa 2001).
In 2008 some folks noticed Sarah Palin spoke exclusively in dog whistles.
dog whistles.
so that would make this… america second party?
second america first party…
Was hoping that this would keep going.
First second america first party…
I am trying to get the new names straight. I have seen that overseas media was referring to the Republicans as the American Fascist Party which works. But what is Musky’s new party going to be, the American Nazi Party? Just want to update my apocalypse bingo cards.
it’s named after the original American nazi party and founded by a nazi. so yhea, it’s a nazi party
There is a small difference though. Musk has shown in the past that it is possible to shame him into changing his mind. He is at least somewhat receptive to what the public thinks of him. Trump, on the other hand, has absolutely no shame and doesn’t care if 90% of the country is against him as long as the 10% who are with him are enough to fill a rally room.
Musk is not constitutionally eligible for the presidency so if we were to come to power then he’d probably assume some newly-made office created just for him. They’d probably make a new prime minister-like role where he has the power to “advise” (i.e. dictate) policy decisions to the president.
That being said, power changes people. Hard to say whether a hypothetical Imperial Chancellor Musk would act much differently from King Trump I. I wager not substantially. Trump, at least, creates a lot of funny memes with his ridiculous fuck-ups. I fear Musk would be far more competent.
you can’t reform a nazi.
he’s doing this because he wants a seat at the nazi state. but he’s hated by everyone he works with so they kicked him out.
It’s not about “reforming” him. I’m talking about the fact that if he will at least consider whether a proposal is popular before he does it. If it’s within the margin of error or at least close enough to cover it up and pretend, it won’t stop him, but if it’s overwhelmingly unpopular it will cause him to think twice, but it is not guaranteed to change his mind. Again, this is based on past behaviour which is not necessarily indicative of the future.
Musk wasn’t shamed and didn’t change his mind. He wants to chainsaw government, and he still wants to. Trump isn’t chainsawing in the manner he wants to - I think he wants libertarianism.
This is almost the opposite of what’s true. I wouldn’t call Trump in touch, but he was far more aware of how stupid cutting social security was politically than his contemporaries. It’s only now that he isn’t as reliant on popular sentiment that he’s willing to cut popular programs.
Musk has always been far less savvy about politics, and never seemed to understand such restraint. Him becoming shadow president is pure fantasy. At best, he’ll become a feudal lord in an independent Texas Republic or some shit; I’m more expecting him to fade into obscurity.
God, how stupid can people be? Elon Musk is the only person that could fuck up a wet dream and there are going to be so many dipshits that join his party.
What’s next, the Bald Eagles Party? The July 4th Firecracker Party? The Loaded Glock Party?
How much on the damn nose do you want it? I can’t.
Maybe New Order?
