NBC reporter: "there were Nazis openly schmoozing at CPAC"
Republican Party: "NO THERE WEREN'T! THAT'S A LIE! YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF THAT!"
NBC reporter: presents evidence
Republican Party: surprised Pikachu face
But seriously, we all know where this is going. Conservative leaders will cry "librul media persecution!" And about 95% of their followers will just believe them and refuse to check the presented evidence, because it's more convenient for them to blindly follow the movement than it is for them to accept the truth.
The endgame is for Nazis to be okay but liberals aren’t. “Look at what those damned liberals are doing to those poor persecuted Nazis.”
This is a harrowing step forward on that path.
Is this even news? They havent cared about Nazi's in their party for a long time now.
Maybe he just meant they weren’t “Nazis,” but rather “Neo-Nazis” or some other type of white nationalist of a more modern vintage. Your Pinochet admirers, neo-confederates, and so forth. Barely anyone at CPAC was even an adult during WWII and certainly no one at the young fascist mixer.
"If it didn't come from the NSDAP organization of Germany, it's not a real Nazi. Just a sparkling eugenicist."
Haha, now I have an image in my mind of Charlie Kirk and Nick Fuentes nervously and awkwardly flirting with female Russian agents over malt shakes.
Fuentes has a brainworm infestation so severe that he flipped out when one of his group's members found a girlfriend.
Worse, they'll play the "just because Nazis were here doesn't mean we're Nazis" card. They will find a picture from 1967 where some hippie brought a Nazi flag to a Humphrey rally to prove that both sides are the same.
Like a “not all Nazis” defense.
No, you see, those Nazis were an antifa false flag.../s
Why leave open the possibility that the "librul media" might be telling the truth when you can discredit the evidence with unfalsifiable lies?
than it is to use critical thinking skills.
There, fixed that for you.
How do you expect them to use something they’ve never had before, let alone something as complicated as thinking?
