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!

MAGA isn’t going to follow en mass any of the fuckers propping up Trump.

You sure about that? They chanted, "Jews will not replace us." They're setting up camps. They hate the same groups the Nazis interred. They're seig heil-ing. They want genocide.

I think that means they'd follow anyone who gives them permission to hate. Hate is a powerful narcotic.

No, MAGA dies with Trump.

They'll all try to coalesce around someone, but there will be multiple candidates, based on their own personal ambitions, rather than the needs of the country. None of them will gather enough support to conquer the others, and they will be ripe for destruction, if the Dems can get their shit together.

But if Schmuck Schumer and a Jeffries are still running the show at that point, the Dems won't get their shit together, will barely respond to the atrocities of the last decade, and allow something far worse than MAGA to arise.

You're confused in thinking MAGA is one contiguous group. There are Nazis within MAGA (in fact they have been promoted, especially this term), but there are non-Nazis too. There were people in MAGA who loved Charlie Kirk, and people who hated him for being pro-Israel.

The only thing tying them together is Trump.

but there are non-Nazis too.

I'm not so sure of that. Are there? This seems a hopeful fantasy in light of their lack of showing after tRump 2.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

"Non-Nazi" in that they can look the other way while the actual Nazis do the dirty work.

They're still Nazis but it's not their defining political position.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes they'd still hate but I don't see anyone else they're willing to follow.
