Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate running as a Republican for governor of Ohio, posted a Halloween photo of himself and his two sons on Friday. The post received a wave of xenophobic and racist replies, including one user who wrote, “I see this year Vivek went as an H1B immigrant here to steal your jobs. Very scary. Like the brown version of the Grinch.”

    Token Republican minorities realize they are in fact token minorities, apparently having gone their whole lives somehow not realizing the most solid core of the Republican base is… white Christian racists.

    This is exploding all through the right wing at the moment.

    Ben Shapiro appears to be genuinely baffled that roughly half the Republican base under 30 likes Nick Fuentes more than him…

    …he had a live discussion with his own employeees, including Matt Walsh, where Ben says it would be ‘an Agatha Christie novel’ to figure out if he were assasinated, whether it’d be from a far left or far right person…

    … meanwhile Matt Walsh just cannot be arsed to give a fuck either way… because he is white, Christian, racist, and extremely confident in his…I guess just majestically un self aware world view, total fucking dead eyed sociopath, 24/7.

    Mark Levin and Lindsey Graham are yelling slurs and profanities at Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, in public speeches at a fairly high level conservative event… evidently somewhere between baffled and terrified that they need to explain that Hitler was bad, Israel can do no wrong, and if you disagree, go fuck yourself.

    These fucking actual morons have been lying to themselves their whole lives that a massive chunk of the movements they are a part of, helped to grow and mold… that a huge chunk of their fanbase isn’t actually just dumb asshole racist bigots.

    They apparently actually do largely believe their own obvious bullshit.

    And now, they seem to have only just realized this, at the very moment that the dumb asshole racist bigots may actually outnumber the older school, corpo suck off neocons.

    This is uh, strategic level, almost a stupid as the Dems softwalking Trump’s prosecution during Biden’s admin, and also running cover for and aiding the Israeli genocide, which lead to an actual fascist takeover of the government.

    Now, the Republicans have achieved that, we are not even a year in, and, well, we’re on schedule for a Night of the Long Knives, an internal party civil war.

    JFC, this is all so predictable to anyone with an understanding of politics and history that expands further than the last 40 years of the US… but, hedonistic myopia is apparently just what we do now.

      This is why this will be over in the near future, these shots are tearing themselves to pieces, they can’t share power, don’t know how to
