A Salon essay published on Friday accuses Republicans of resembling “good Germans” of the Nazi era — wishing to believe they are decent people while hiding behind “fictions of plausible deniability for the evils committed by their leader” — and describes today’s conservatism as seeking “friendly fascism” masked in an appeal to return to “traditional values.”
The essay, penned by staff writer Chauncey Devega and titled “Conservatives are the new ‘good Germans,’ enabling and defending Trump’s crimes,” begins by claiming “Whatever ‘conservative’ once meant in American politics, it’s now just a flimsy rhetorical shield for fascism.”
Devega continues by declaring the former president as “a force of political, human, moral and economic destruction.”
“He is the leader of an American neofascist and white supremacist movement,” he writes. “Today’s Republican Party has fully become an extension of his political cult and crime family.”
“Trump incited a lethal attack on the Capitol as part of a larger plot to overthrow American democracy,” he adds.
“Public opinion polls show that Trump himself is more popular than the Republican Party as a whole,” he writes. “White right-wing evangelicals worship Trump like he is a god.”
Devega then poses a “riddle,” seeking to discover what the term “conservative” truly means “for today’s Republicans.”
Describing “the most benign and generous understanding” of the term as denoting “a respect for stability, tradition and existing societal norms and institutions,” Devega claims such a definition is far removed from Trump, the Republican Party, and its followers.
“Donald Trump, his movement and its allies have almost no relationship to that tradition, and overwhelmingly reject such values,” he writes.
“In the Age of Trump, American democracy is under assault by neofascism, white supremacy, authoritarianism, gangster capitalism and other antisocial values and beliefs,” he adds.

Says the people who supported the genocide of 60 million babies, taking your guns and burning books.
Well, if conservatives are the “good Germans”, Democrats are the Nazis.
There, I said it.
More personal liberty = nazi. Okay, sure.
That title is some serious projection.
It’s sick how they get it 180° opposite.
The Nazis “canceled” the Jews.
Same methods of the democrats too.
After accusing the Republican Party and Trump of having “no respect for the rule of law” which they “consistently sought to undermine,” Devega then accuses the entire movement of having normalized terrorism and political violence.
“Trump and his movement have now normalized right-wing terrorism and political violence directed against liberals, progressives, nonwhites, Jews, Muslims and others deemed to be ‘the enemy,’” he writes.
Demonrats projecting again.
THEY and the CCP, whose azz they lick, are the REAL new NAZIs.
They have seized the Whitehut through insurrection and the blackmailed RINOs were in tow.
That’s funny, I am beginning to feel like a Jew in 1930’s Germany.
“Public opinion polls show that Trump himself is more popular than the Republican Party as a whole,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s good reason for that, the GOP act like Assistant Democrats while Trump sides with the citizens.
It is so at odds with reality that it has to be deliberate and orchestrated.
Nothing is real is scary.
“Like the ‘good Germans’ of the Nazi era, Republicans want to believe that they are good and decent people who can hide behind fictions of plausible deniability for the evils committed by their leader,” he adds.

Or a Korean in 1930s Japan.
The democrats are the new Bolsheviks.
We conservatives aren’t German, we’re Kulaks. Eventually, us Kulaks will experience ordeals like the Bolshevik Holomodor, where an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished due to forced starvation by the Soviets. Other names for today’s modern Bolsheviks and Soviets is Antifa, BLM, or just Progressive.
I don’t see conservatives banning books like Amazon or the NYT book bestseller lists.
I don’t see brown shirts in action like ANTIFA.
I don’t see burnt and destroyed synagogues like BLM.
I don’t see fake scholarship like from the left and oligarch corporations teaching that a race (whites, in this case) are sub-human.
I don’t see conservative government officials obsessed with race like Biden’s nominee who writes whites are inferior because they lack melanin.
I don’t see people faking being a white, just black or Hispanic, because you get treated better in the workplace.
There is a fair nazi comparison to be made in USA politics, but it’s the left.
I say it at home all the time.
Also the people who cheered on the wholesale destruction of statues of the heroes of American history, and that history itself, and burning and looting of 200+ American cities all last year.
