Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Techno libertarians, white nationalists and JD Vance are all linked to a movement known as the 'New Right.' What is this movement and how has it influenced the Republican candidate for vice president?

Fairly interesting (and disturbing) insight into how the New Right thinks. Worth the listen if you're trying to understand the right's new weirdness.

They talk about Curtis Yarvin who thinks there are 3 kinds of government: 1) Democracy, 2) Oligarchy, 3) Monarchy. They think democracy has failed, so their solution is to overthrow everything and put in an American monarchy. They line up what Yarvin says with what Vance says and they sound similar, though Yarvin is much clearer.

Personally I think this is a whole new level of weird. Walz got the label right.

racists are attempting to rebrand again ?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

when your ideas are that toxic, you need to rebrand yourself every time people figure out who you are.

picture them as the ol’ timey snake oil salesmen peddling bullshit. except these people want power over you, not [just] your money.

There are already 2 other 'Right', but they don't do what we want. We need a New Right, with a catchy name, maybe the 3th Right.

It should be called the "New Wrong"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I stop using right as correct a while ago for a reason.

The rise of the New Weird!!!

[–] mindbleach 2 points 2 months ago

It's always "new." They just say that.

They're continuously making up their own reputation, because they don't mean things when they say words.

This mornings Bulwark focus group podcast was also heavily about this. Was a good episode.
