Republicans and Democrats are the same. If Republicans are the Nazis at home, Democrats are funding the Nazis abroad.
I’ve said this many times. Republicans are bad…and democrats are just as bad, the only difference is what they pretend to care about. You might’ve seen a democrat promise good things, but not a single one of them has ever even tried to get any of those things done
“BUT WE DON’T HAVE THE VOTES YET!”
FDR didn’t have the votes either. He used his popularity to twist arms for the votes he needed. LBJ did the same thing. AOC and the squad could just as easily do that too, but they’ve wasted every opportunity they’ve had to pressure Pelosi and Schumer to do something.
Oh by the way, remember why we couldn’t have a vote on medicare for all or raising wages because the current speaker Kevin McCarthy would become speaker? And then when the democrats did nothing at all McCarthy became speaker and the people got nothing?
Did you know that a majority of republican voters want medicare for all once they understand what it is? “We need to go to the center and be against medicare for all to get votes from the other side”
Meh. Only one party wants to take away my rights or stop my friends from getting married because they’re both women, make birth control illegal, kill people for performing in drag and let 12 year olds get married. . Your idea of “just as bad” is a little strange.
Name one thing the democrats did that was good for regular people. Something they actually tried to get done instead of just complaining that they don’t have the votes. Something that they actually fought for instead of caving in to the republicans after 2 seconds.
Remember, the American Nazi party had a ridiculous amount of traction. Enough to fill Madison Square Garden for Washington’s birthday. Those people didn’t just vanish after WWII. They didn’t denounce their beliefs. They just crawled into the cracks like cockroaches.
Also the Nazis took example with the pledge of allegiance as an effective tool for indoctrination of school children. In the US it also used to be done with the same gesture that is now the Nazi salute.
Furthermore eugenics and race theory were prominent as “sciences” in the US and the Nazis also took example there. If it wasnt for the alliance to the Japanese and Pearl Harbor, the US might well have been on the Nazis side of history, given that the social and ideological culture had many more similarities than disagreements.
Don’t forget, however, that it was not the “right” in the US that was pro eugenics. It was the left and the Fabien socialists. Also didn’t forget, how those were the groups that were aligning themselves with the KKK.
While your comment about the Nazis getting a lot of their eugenics ideas from America in the 20’s-30’s is accurate, there’s no way in hell that we’d have just accidentally ended up in the Axis powers like that.
Were there Nazis in the US? Absolutely. Was their ideology common and/or the majority? Not at all.
We were literally allied with countries that the Nazis were attacking, and assisting them with supplies long before we ever entered the war due to Pearl Harbor. That’s before we even get into things like the Zimmerman note which indicated that the Germans in WW1 wanted to engage us as an enemy, which doesn’t bode well for their actions against those same allies 20 years later.
You’re taking the fact that eugenics existed here in the US and making up a metric fuck ton of revisionist history surrounding it.
You say all that, but remember the time Prescott Bush was part of a group of rich and powerful men that tried to overthrow FDR and install a fascist government?
As long as FDR was in office, there was literally no way the US would have joined Germany. It wasn’t a matter of if, but a matter of when the USA got involved. The us was in by proxy before 41/42, Doing the same stuff the modern US has done for Ukraine, but for the Commonwealth nations.
The raised-arm salute isn’t inherently bad, it’s bad now because the Nazis did it. And so, America using a similar salute before the Nazis doesn’t mean America was as evil as the Nazis.
Is there any “Memes” community that doesn’t post shit like this? We non Americans don’t care about this, we just want some fun memes and not being forcefed your culture war crap.
Internet culture for certain will be affected by the cultures of member’s nation. Here in this community we (assuming)have many people around the globe so it easy to see we have americans too. Not all memes will be understood or found hilarious by everyone but you just cant say “shit”.
Targets was a minor one but still a good update! The new logo is much more eye catching, the red is what you immediately notice first, whereas the old one your attention was divided between the name text and circular logo.
The new logo is also much larger and uniform in colour making it easier to remember.
It wasn’t really a switch, more like both parties having an ideological shift. A switch implies they didn’t change core beliefs at all and just flipped, when many of the beliefs of both parties changed.
The parties never switched. The Democrats just started pandering to the minorities they’ve been fighting against the entire time because they were losing a lot of votes.
Republicans freed the slaves. Republicans ended segregation.
Democrats just keep promising change that never comes.
Look, I’m pretty centrist and do my best to split my vote for both parties if policies align, but you can’t ignore or handwave away the southern strategy. Republicans have been pandering to conservatives for decades.
Besides, many of their policies have been implemented. The change you say hasn’t occured definitely has, just mostly at state levels. Obamacare is still pretty successful.
The federal government has barely done shit in ages.
The situation was mostly middle-ground, but the US in Cold war? In the USSR, the far left policies gave way for the Far right stalinists to take charge when Lennon died.
The problems with the USSR were a case of leftists making mistakes that allowed reactionaries to take over, not a case of conservatives being on the right side of history.

This is too political for me
Why are people down voting this?

Which Nazis abroad do you mean exactly?
The Republican party was in power when they beat the Confederate States though…? Dumb meme
Did you completely forget the part where the parties switched ideologies? Or did you have to forget that part?
Oof. 🤭
I thought this is a “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts” and this is the first shit I see as a new user?

Well this is about as far off as it gets.

History would have been better if Huey Long hadn’t been JFK’d and overthrown FDR

Republicans don’t actually care. Y’know why? Because many of the oligarchs are gay too.
Classic “both sidesism” that neglects reality.
Fail right out the gate.

Out of the shadows and into the light.

That last paragraph is a load of bs.

Internet culture for certain will be affected by the cultures of member’s nation. Here in this community we (assuming)have many people around the globe so it easy to see we have americans too. Not all memes will be understood or found hilarious by everyone but you just cant say “shit”.
It is shit because these kinds of “memes” are not made to amuse, they’re made to spread ideological views and increase polarization.
How is Microsoft and Target rebrands when it literally still says Microsoft and Target?
Targets was a minor one but still a good update! The new logo is much more eye catching, the red is what you immediately notice first, whereas the old one your attention was divided between the name text and circular logo. The new logo is also much larger and uniform in colour making it easier to remember.
The brand is the corporate iconography, typography, etc. Not necessarily the name.
I was thinking the same thing until I saw the punchline. Target and Microsoft were just fodder here.
The confederates were (southern) democrats
Yet which modern party flies the confederate flag?
… that became Republicans in the 60s?
They’ll say this is a lie and a conspiracy. I’ve had this argument many times.
But that’s not the history I want to remember!!!
true but the party switch was a thing
It wasn’t really a switch, more like both parties having an ideological shift. A switch implies they didn’t change core beliefs at all and just flipped, when many of the beliefs of both parties changed.

Do you not know what actually happened and want people to tell you? Or are you just being willfully ignorant?
tHe CoNfEdErAtEs WeRe DeMoCrAtS
Who cares. How are they voting now. Are they bad now or good now. Both parties have changed drastically from the inception.
More important than the name of their party is their ideology. Conservative.
It was supposed to be a commentary on calling it a rebrand. It’s like if Coca-Cola rebranded to Pepsi.
Conservative is not always bad, but take it too far and you end up with fascists and stalinists.
When have conservatives ever been on the right side of history?
The situation was mostly middle-ground, but the US in Cold war? In the USSR, the far left policies gave way for the Far right stalinists to take charge when Lennon died.
The problems with the USSR were a case of leftists making mistakes that allowed reactionaries to take over, not a case of conservatives being on the right side of history.
Let’s be real, it should be the American flag not just the Republican logo.
They’re not utterly fascist, you can’t do that to the last remnants of sanity left over in the states
Yeah it really depends on your area.
