I saw one of those right-wing propaganda videos talking exactly about this, saying how this is “Kamala’s America” and people voting for her condone Haitians eating ducks from parks and pet cats, and it was incredibly funny until I read the comments, with every single one 100% believing the claims without question. I wonder if those people are bots or are they just xenophobic enough for “Haitians eating pets” to make sense without question in their worldview.
Conservatives only debate students who don’t know any better or barely coherent geriatrics, and it’s never in good faith
Even if heritage was correct and left-wing terrorism was more common, it wouldn’t change the fact that left-wing terrorism is often way more moral than right-wing terrorism.
Targetting ultra-wealthy, alt-right or similar organizations in assassinations/kidnappings/robberies is infinitely better than committing ethnically-driven murders and mass shootings.
In an interview on Wednesday night with CNN host Kaitlan Collins, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Delaware), who is now in his third term, said he had a revealing conversation with an unnamed “European head of state.” That leader appeared worried about the double standard the media was applying to Biden, while largely ignoring former President Donald Trump despite his increasingly unhinged tone during press conferences and public appearances.
The article isn’t talking about regular people, but the media.
I feel like what’s more likely is Trump actually winning via election fraud, there’s conservatives and people connected to conservatives getting arrested even to this year for trying to rig the previous 2020 election, and I highly doubt that they won’t try that again. There’s also the recent supreme court decision to make president immune from persecution for “official acts during presidency”, which can be read as setting the stage for Trump’s arrival.
While yes, I don’t doubt that people do care about immigration and that’s why they vote far-right, the point of my original comment was that a lot of this “anti-immigration” sentiment is just an easy scapegoat by the right. It’s something they puff up, blame most issues on then try to get votes by promising to deal with that said issue they pretty much manufactured, while leaving actual issues that they’re going to make worse unaddressed (like low minimum wages, tax cuts for the rich, weakening of workers rights, mass privatization, etc).
Liberals (left doesn’t exist in most of EU still) rarely ever vow to do anything about immigration precisely of how overblown it is, and yeah they do lose votes because of it from people who do end up believing the far-right, the “easy” answer if you will.
And here’s a fun tidbit - most of the voters who vote far-right in European countries (checked Poland and French but undoubtedly there are many more examples) come from rural regions, which are the least affected by immigration.
Immigration is legit just a scapegoat for the right and in reality isn’t that big of an issue. People in France agreed as well, even though NR was only shouting about immigration (literally, it’s unclear what their other policies are apart from the classic right-wing policies of lowering taxes for corporations), and also ranked #1 in polls, immigration came out 8th in the “most important issues” ranking poll.
It’s not 2016 anymore, immigration has decreased significantly since the big flood.
It’s not really surprising - historically, the creation Israel state was helped massively by antisemitists, who wanted to get rid of jews in their own country and having them a place to immigrate to would be the easiest option (the phenomena is often referred to as Zionist antisemitism).
So yeah, it does make sense - they can hate the jews, but also support Israel at the same time.
I remember making a comment once on .ml about how a news source they linked isn’t too credible, with mediafactbiascheck as source for that claim (as the site had historically gotten their news wrong), and the comment got removed for “blogspamming” or something lmao
There’s certainly a degree of powertripping going over there with the mods, and I do feel like this one is gonna be removed as well for “bigotry” against mods or something
I swear, you could have Hitler reincarnate with Himmler as vice president looking exactly the same as how they looked like in WW2 and use the exact same rhetoric, and the current undecided voters would still be equally clueless on who to vote for, assuming they’re actually undecided and not “closeted conservative voter who doesn’t want to look bad”.
