Right wingers have been polishing their rhetoric and goddidits, and they are increasingly leaving the halls of right wing for alt right, throwing their lot in with the white supremacists.
Michael Hill, president of the neo-Confederate League of the South has had plenty to say:
Once the globalist-progressive coalition of Jews, minorities, and anti-white whites stops reeling in confusion from the results of yesterday’s election, we can expect them to start striking back with trickery and violence. Thus, we as Southern nationalists face both danger and opportunity.
Now, more than ever, we need tight organization and numbers to help drive a stake through Dracula’s heart and keep him from rising once again to menace our people and civilization. No mercy should be shown to the enemies of our God, our Folk, and our civilization. None would be afforded us.
Dracula? How did a literary figure get into this? I’m sure that stands for someone or something, but right now, I don’t give a damn. It’s idiocy. Why not invoke the ever popular zombie apocalypse? As for no mercy would be afforded them, oh, that wins some sort of hyperbole prize. These people start crying over criticism, which is what they tend to call being treated mercilessly. Hill also had a warning for all those pure Southerners:
…So here is my warning to the victors: do not go back to sleep and think all is well. If you don’t finish the job by routing your enemies and driving them into the sea while you have the chance, they will re-group and be back at your throats in no time! You have been given a reprieve by God (probably undeservedly so); do not give your enemies and His a reprieve.
Their goal is to dispossess you of everything. If you have not heard that over the past year, then you have not been listening. Just what the hell do you think multiculturalism, diversity, and tolerance are all about? Your enemies care nothing about those things. They are merely used as weapons against you for your dispossession and ultimate destruction. The sum of their effect is White Guilt.
[…]
These media elites (and others of their elite ilk) look forward to the demise of old white America and the rise of a new paradigm in which they will hold sway. You will be dispossessed, sequestered in the equivalent of ghettos, and will be a despised and hated minority in the country your ancestors built.
Just once, I’d like for one of these clowns to acknowledge that they just love ghettos, as long as they aren’t in them. Those ancestors of yours did not build this country. They stole it through genocide, then had slaves do the actual work.
You, by God’s grace, may have been given a short reprieve from this scenario. Redeem the time! As for me, I recommend that we get busy with Southern independence. We need our own country, and it must be run by us for our own interests. It must once again be White Man’s Land.
I’m just fine with you founding White Man’s Land. First of all, you need to get the fuck out of this country, find a place which is completely uninhabited, purchase it, and there ya go, white fantasy land! You won’t do that though, because at the bottom of it all, you’re a chickenshit. You wouldn’t have the slightest idea of how to run your little ‘country’ or island, or whatever you found. Via RWW.
Elsewhere, Mike Huckabee has been waxing folksy on what a great president Trump will be, wait, the greatest ever, you betcha!
Horowitz’s annual “Restoration Weekend” allows far-right activists to mingle with conservative elected officials. This year, Steve Bannon, who left Breitbart News to run Trump’s presidential campaign and has since been named the president-elect’s chief strategist, was scheduled to attend, although we have not been able to confirm that he actually showed up. Milo Yiannopoulous, a Breitbart editor and apologist for the racist alt-right movement, was given an award.
In remarks to the conference that were broadcast on Periscope by Andrew Torba, the CEO of an alt-right version of Twitter, Huckabee told attendees that Trump “will turn out to be one of the great presidents of our time and may be one of the greatest ever.”
[…]
He also said that Trump would make sure that government agencies “will run a fair show,” saying that in contrast he would have had to “seek asylum in some foreign country” if Hillary Clinton won the presidency “because I knew I was going to be a target.”
Again with this remarkable hyperbole. Does anyone even think about Huckabee? I don’t. There’s such a need for puffery in the old white guys’ club, they are just so darn important they have to keep reminding people of it. Via RWW.
Sam Rohrer is positive that Trump’s being elected was god’s doing. He doesn’t say which god. Maybe Loki. Jim Bakker is of the opinion that Trump’s election is the greatest miracle ever. Janet Porter is gleeful over the green light to illegalize abortion. More dead women, ain’t that great!
David Kupelian, of World Net Daily, has declared that a very particular disaster has been avoided:
“We would have seen how evil works if we had Hillary Clinton as president,” Kupelian said. “She would have literally driven many people insane. I mean that in a clinical way.”
While older people would have responded to a Clinton presidency by praying more and stocking up on food and supplies, Kupelian asserted, young people would have been driven over the edge and soon started carrying out mass killings.
“To have an outright criminal married to a certified sexual predator in the White House and to glorify that and all that is implied in society elevating these people back into positions of ultimate power, as basically the rulers of the world,” he stated, “to a lot of young people whose souls and views are still being formed, they’d go nuts. And you’d see more acting out and criminality and people doing crazy things. You’d say, ‘My God, how did that happen? Why did this person go and shoot up a classroom of people?’ and so forth. I’m saying, you elevate somebody like that to the president and you unleash hell.”
People have elected a criminal and a sexual predator to the presidency, and fascism has been unleashed. We can go ahead and call that hell.
Don’t worry. Folks over at Pharyngula have assured me that all this nastiness is just trolling. Or Poe’s Law makes it all fine an’ dandy. Or it’s a false flag. Or something.
Yeah, also Clinton was just as bad, amirite?
Oh, of course. And completely unelectable, despite a near 50/50 split in the popular vote.
Seriously though, there is no single reason why fascism wins when it does, but a major one has to be that far too many people simply can’t bring themselves to believe until it’s too late, that the fascists can really be as bad as their own words make them out to be.
Fascism comes in through whatever crack it can find, but usually when it enters you’ll find too many nominal opponents of fascism too busy beating each other up to notice.
OK, I don’t know if that’s the usual case, but it was certainly true in Germany and Spain.
So if it’s OK for Ted Nugent to say “If Obama is elected president I’ll be dead or in jail” is it OK for me to say “if cops start deporting my neighbors I’m going to shoot a few cops”? I am just trying to clarify the new rules of ‘telling it like it is’ an’ shit.
PS -- good deals on subsonic .308 ammo by the case right now. Ironically, ammo and gun prices just dropped. FYI I mean.
I’m just speaking hypothetically, of course, but it’s heading toward “sauce for the gander” territory, I’m sorry to say.
Let me just put it this way: if the Black Panthers want to re-form and start open open carrying, I’ll be there with them if they won’t mind a white face in their ranks.
This is one of the reasons why the sentient cockroach archaeologists will trace humanity’s downfall to the invention of the internet -- the normalisation of the idea that deliberately being a massive arse in order to piss people off is just all good fun and doesn’t really matter, on the grounds that they “don’t really mean it”. (And the related idea that the best way to deal with such people is by ignoring them.) I hate “trolls” even more than I hate genuine arseholes.
I don’t give a fuck what people really believe in their secret heart of hearts, I only care about what they do and say.

Daz: Uffish, yet slightly frabjous #3
I just want to parse out your sarcasm on this specific point.
.
Clinton lost the election. Everyone knew the Electoral Collage rules, stupid as they may be. And she did lose. So, I’m trying to figure out your sarcasm here. Because she lost to an orange, sociopathic, racist, misogynist, bigoted, fascist-leaning, pussy-grabbing, con-man with a 4th grade vocabulary.
.
So, I’m wondering just what it is you’re trying to be sarcastic about. She came close to beating an atrocious human pile of shit, so… whoever was saying she’s unelectable was… you’re sarcasm is rooted in… what, exactly?
.
That she came close to beating Trump, so, if only they had run a worse candidate against her like, the corpse of Osama Bin Laden or something, she’d have almost certainly won? “Checkmate, fools, you were so stupid to think the thing that happened would happen.”
tkreacher #9:
Please note, I’m talking specifically and only about the post-election analysis. I’m saying that in order to describe her, post-election, as many have, as having been obviously unelectable, one has to ignore the fact that she was almost elected.
tkreacher, #9
I think if they had run one of the standard GOP bigots against her, she would have won. I think it was precisely Trump’s brand of bigotry that had so many voters flocking to him. I really don’t think Jeb Bush would have had this attraction.
tkreacher
It is very easy: saying the person who won the majority of the votes by a two million votes is “unelectable” is ridiculous. The majority of the voters wanted her and it’s only due to that clusterfuck of electoral college thing that she lost. As I said on Pharyngula: Imagine that in Iran: The moderate candidate got clearly the most votes but the rabid islamist ends up winning. Imagine your reaction.

What a Maroon
Oh, I think I “get” these people: They wanted to have their cake and eat it and it backfired. Let’s face it: for all the people saying that Clinton was “unelectable” now, nobody thought so last Monday. All polls, all analysis had her in front, even Trump and the Trumpkins were preparing for defeat.
Those people thought Clinton would win, Trump would be prevented and when the bad Clinton things would happen, they could sit on their high horse and say “see, I told you so, I didn’t get my hands dirty!” And now they need to justify why they actually helped Trump. Clearly the only argument is that Clinton would have been just as bad or worse.

This is precisely what I have been thinking the past couple of days but couldn’t figure out how to word it. Thank you.
