Where Nazis were once treated by both parties as an unambiguous source of pure evil, now they inhabit a gray area on the fringe of the Republican coalition. jonathanchait writes

Photo: Samuel Corum/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images Yesterday, President Trump retweeted a video of a man on a New York subway platform shoving and injuring a white woman. In normal times, it would have been unfathomable to determine why the president of the United States would take an interest in this case. The assault took place a year ago, and the perpetrator was arrested in short order.

But Trump has retweeted enough decontextualized, random videos of nonwhite people attacking white people — indeed, he shared the same 2019 subway attack clip in June — that it has lost its shock value. But it is this very banality that makes Trump’s behavior so significant. The president is in the habit of promoting a wide array of his supporters, and we all have grown accustomed to the fact that some of those supporters are, well, Nazis.

Last week, Media Matters found that she has promoted a far-right video that “features anti-Muslim propaganda, quotes an anti-Semitic Holocaust denier saying that ‘Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation’ and, as one reporter wrote, ‘implies that Jews are at the heart of a project to destroy Europe as we know it.’” The next day, she attended Trump’s RNC acceptance speech at the White House lawn.

jonathanchait I'm assuming you mention the fawning media coverage Nazis got in the press especially with Richard Spencer and then the NYT article about having a friendly nazi next door

factsfaraone jonathanchait The Republican Party is the Nazi Party. It's going to go the same way it did last time. Americans will destroy them. RepublicansAreTraitors

jonathanchait They need to push that fringe back out of their eyes.

jonathanchait No white gentile who is jew-aware takes Trump all that seriously. All politicians across the political spectrum serve the interests of jewry.

jonathanchait they were always there . . . . . . . . . .

jonathanchait No, they don't. You people are far more fascistic than anyone on the right. And you have WAY more anti-semites too!

arquitetchinha jonathanchait Funny, NYM left out the part where Trump denounce the neo-nazis and their followers. Trying to deceive someone is called lying. If the President denounce the neo-nazis in his speech, how does that bring them into the Republican Party? Hint: It does not.

jonathanchait Awww

jonathanchait oh dear god jon chait is jon chaiting PLEASE JUST FUCKING STOP

jonathanchait KKK and Nazis are slowly gaining strength anew in America, thanks to p❌resident Donald J. Trump. They’re going to flush out Jews, Blacks, Muslims, Mormons and some “wrong Christians”. Any group undeserving to be in the Republican Party/GOP is out-- all the “DirtyRaces”.

ewong jonathanchait More like a valued Trump constituency, which is why he can't bring himself to disavow them. (That torchlight pic ain't Trader Vic's.)

jonathanchait NYmag since the Atlantic story, labor day celebration has been filled with contentious debates of who were the good guys during the US Army and its allies against Nazi Germany. There were instances where ppl have been pulled apart.

jonathanchait I still think ultimately Qanon will give American Nazis cover to enact their agenda.

jonathanchait So, let’s not forget the Fascists who forcefully demanded that restaurant diners utter their credo? If those aggressors were TrumpVoters, I would be very surprised 😮.

jonathanchait We must outlaw and drive them back underground

jonathanchait Donald Trump FANS! and Supporters... In his mind,,,They're fine people..

jonathanchait I beg to differ, they are no longer on the fringes they are mainstream republicans

jonathanchait Interesting this far right extremism using christian symbols and acting with no regard for non-white and wealth human life.

jonathanchait So scary.

jonathanchait The Democrat Party is the party of KKK and Jim Crow...and they are still the party of racism. Nothing has changed.

jonathanchait Lies, not just now. ALWAYS!

melisianyc jonathanchait Aww, the New Yorker..supporting the Fourth Reich Josef Mengele-style Planned Infanticide/baby parts industry from day one; continuing to support the now the Democrat officially ANTI-ISRAEL PARTY.....then casting accusations around to distract...

jonathanchait Not gonna report antifa? U r a fakenews

jonathanchait 'fringe'?

jonathanchait How about write about the struggles of educators as we are asked to make a reopening plan that will be disrupted by 9,000 layoffs which will force us to stay remote. How some schools are enduring abuse & poor leadership that can cost lives.

jonathanchait

jonathanchait BS. Dem fantasy.

jonathanchait Nah.

jonathanchait And what do we call Antifa

jonathanchait What the actual fuck? How insane are you people?

jonathanchait There is no gray area. No one wants them. Whether they vote one party or the other, neither will bend toward their agenda.

jonathanchait

jonathanchait

jonathanchait Really? Where did you get that disinformation? Receipts please where any Republican group, organization, etc has brought them into their 'coalition'. Bad and Evil exists right, left and center (Epstein). The only gray area here is in your brain.

jonathanchait That you get away with daily libels and calumnies such as this are stark evidence of how broken we are, and that the “free press” long ago gave up any pretense of objectivity and serving the public

jonathanchait keep peddling the dishonesty, jon. it's totally on brand.

jonathanchait This is why I'm donating 50% of the royalties earned from sales of my spy thriller series to the Joe Biden campaign, effective today, all the way to the 2020 Presidential election. MISSION OF VENGEANCE: PENUMBRA DATABASE:

jonathanchait No they don't. No one supports Nazis.

Barr, Absent From RNC, Is Very Much Present As Part Of Trump Reelection BidLegal experts and Justice Department veterans say it's not the attorney general's job to engage in partisan politics.
