The Nazi Stage at CPAC is the Odal Rune

On Nov 4, 2016, the neonazi National Socialist Movement published a statement on their website, announcing that they would be replacing the swastika with the odal rune to enter mainstream politics. Four years and an attempted fascist putsch later, it's the stage at CPAC.

The Rise of the Biden Republicans
The pollster who identified “Reagan Democrats” in the 1980s sees the emergence of a mirror image voting bloc. And it spells trouble for a GOP dominated by Trump.

There are unwritten rules that dictate how American politics works. Former presidents shouldn’t weigh in on quotidian partisan squabbles. An incumbent senator shouldn’t support a primary challenger running against a fellow incumbent. If you’re an elected official, avoid directly comparing yourself to Abraham Lincoln—show some humility and instruct surrogates to do that on your behalf. Never try to correct a middle-schooler spelling the word “potato.” And if you want to take the pulse of white middle America, go to its de facto national capital—Macomb County, Michigan.

Every four years, as if driven by mainspring, presidents, those aspiring to be presidents and the reporters who cover them, return to the blue-collar Detroit suburbs to try out their messages and make sense of what’s happening in middle America.

Presidents will visit the community college campus in Warren—where President Ronald Reagan famously declared, “I’m a former Democrat, and I have to say: I didn't leave my party; my party left me” and where President Barack Obama announced his ill-fated American Graduation Initiative, a planned $12 billion investment in community colleges. And thick in the campaign season, candidates will swing by local factories to make major economic speeches, as Hillary Clinton did in 2016; take shots at NAFTA and celebrate new trade deals, as Donald Trump did in 2020; and hold campaign-debilitating photo ops, as Michael Dukakis did when he donned a helmet and drove around in an M-1 Abrams tank. Reporters will talk to voters at the ubiquitous Coney Island diners, hold televised roundtables with average Joes at bars and pry political chestnuts from locals wearing cutoffs and playing Euchre.

... this article goes on to give a very 'in depth' study of how our modern day politics are not that much different than those of the past, namely that our core issues still remain just that--- our core issues.

‘This Is What Black People Do’: Racist Teacher Quits After Student’s Mom Exposes Racist Zoom Rant

https://newsone.com/4119175/racist-california-teacher-zoom-resigns/

This is why I love racists and bigots...they are SOOOOOO STUPID! So eager to show their hate that they often show more stupidity and ignorance than hate. LMAO

It sad reality is that many folks don't even realize that they are racist! It's likely that most do of course and just don't give a $hit, but listen to the second woman in the conversation as she agrees with the first woman. Woman number two would most likely swear up and down that she herself "Is not racist!"

[Skhilled]

Agreed. They are just following the herd or don't want them to be treat like us.
