"[Nick Fuentes] has pushed, you know, the Overton window further and further right; he has become more and more a product of, um, he has become more and more acceptable. And I think that really — my big picture — kind of like what Tucker is trying, is he's trying to test out Nick Fuentes as the replacement for for Charlie Kirk.

tucker carlson interviewed nick fuentes and the #MAGA coalition is in absolute meltdown.

- on one side you have the pro #israel, pro #netanyahu neoneocons who are shocked - shocked! - that there is #antisemitism going on in this establishment (just ignore the fact that they voted for the guy who invited fuentes and kanye to dinner at Mar-A-Lago)

- on the other side you have MAGA influencers with enormous followings finally just taking the mask off and saying "nick's right, the problem is the jews"

...and the groypers are swarming everyone's replies with non-stop #hitler memes.

i feel like this interview finally put the match to the antisemitic gasoline that Candace Owens has been pumping for years now.

incredible drama 🍿

"There are two issues here. One is that the MAGA right has a legitimate Nazi problem. The second is that the MAGA right believes there are two standards: The ultra-permissive one that applies to them and their followers within which there are zero consequences for even the worst behavior, and the far stricter one that applies to liberals or any other perceived political opponents."

Ben Meiselas discusses a secret directive of the Trump administration targeting Americans whose political or religious beliefs the administration wants to squelch. The document is called National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, or NSPM-7.

#Trump #CharlieKirk #FreeSpeech

https://www.meidasplus.com/p/inside-trumps-nspm-7-the-secret-directive

"Unlike executive orders, which are public and typically govern daily administrative actions, a National Security Presidential Memorandum is a top-level directive used to coordinate military, intelligence, and law enforcement strategy. NSPM-7, signed quietly in the Oval Office, effectively redefines dissent as domestic terrorism."

#Trump #CharlieKirk #FreeSpeech

Meiselas notes that that Ken Klippenstein reports that "a 'Threat Screening Center' has been established in a secretive Northern Virginia office complex, just seven miles from CIA headquarters, to compile watchlists of Americans who meet these new 'terrorism indicators.' According to his reporting, staff there are analyzing social media posts, podcasts, and even public speeches to identify individuals considered 'anti-Christian' or 'anti-capitalist.'”

"President Trump’s son Eric has provoked confusion and anger online from critics with comments on Tuesday painting his father’s movement as responsible for saving Christianity and religion in general, while claiming a divine hand led his father back to the White House."

"'We're saving Christianity. We've saving God,' Eric Trump said Tuesday on the Benny Show podcast. 'We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation.'"

This is not unrelated, of course, to the stepped-up attack on anyone remembering Charlie Kirk as he was and remembering exactly what he said and did. The idea that the Trumps are "saving God" is rich and ludicrous, given who they are. But a certain kind of religion has utilitarian value for fascists….

“Around 14 percent of the US population, nearly 50 million people, identify themselves as white evangelical Protestants. ‘Though [white evangelicals] make up just 14% of Americans overall, they remain the largest single religious group among Republican voters with the power to sway party priorities,’ noted reporter Becky Sullivan on NPR's Morning Edition."

"The politics of evangelicals are overwhelmingly conservative. Though a minority, they punch far above their weight politically, with reliable votes, full coffers, and lockstep political ideology, pulling the nation ever further toward a straight, white theocracy.”

“Beyond our zealous faith, the other Great American preoccupation—the one we're most famous for, the one that makes our streets proverbially paved with gold unless proverbially paved with strip malls—is money.

It would be a great mistake to think that money and faith live in separate realms. Faith can be the biggest cash cow of them all.”

Marcy Wheeler comments on the Trump administration revoking visas for six people with claims that these people criticized Charlie Kirk after his death:

"It’s one thing to find Palestinian supporters targeted by a hate group. It’s another thing to find people with an opinion about Charlie Kirk, because one’s opinion about Charlie Kirk has no conceivable tie to national security or even foreign policy."

The day #CharlieKirk was killed, Dominic Durant’s 11yo daughter came home from her middle school in Tulsa, OK, & told her father that her friends had been very upset about his death, & that they felt she should be upset, too. “I’m sad,” she said, tears in her eyes.

These outlets did not mention that Posobiec is a #ConspiracyTheorist who has been labeled an #extremist by the #SouthernPovertyLawCenter because of his ties to #WhiteSupremacists & #neoNazis.

Even #Democratic politicians felt compelled to pay tribute. Gov #JoshShapiro of #Pennsylvania ordered flags to be flown at half-staff “as a mark of respect for the memory of #CharlieKirk,” though he later criticized Kirk’s rhetoric.

I AM SO DAMN TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT #CHARLIEKIRK! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE SOMEONE IS MORE ANNOYING WHEN NO LONGER ALIVE

I keep being told #TPUSA is about "making heaven crowded." How's that work if the common bond is politics and not Jesus? THIS is the problem with #ChristianNationalism: eventually, it is just nationalism.

To be clear: I'm all for cooperating with EVERYONE on common ground. And Catholics should be included in Christian discussions, because, well, they're Christians. But if an organization is supposed to bring a faithful Christian witness to politics, how can people who deny the Jesus confessed by the one, holy, (little c) catholic Church be the ones speaking for it?

"'That young man. I forgive him,' she said, evoking the actions of Jesus, while he took his dying breaths, in the Bible.

Trump made it clear that he saw no value in that, and the crowd ate it up. Asking the president to embody Christlike qualities of forgiveness sounds like an insurmountable task, even for Erika Kirk."

"The crowd’s applause for Trump’s statement [when he said he hates his opponents and wishes them ill], following their applause for Erica Kirk’s call for peace, shows that vengeance is the prevailing sentiment. This brand of Christianity, which uses Jesus as a mascot to justify a pursuit of power and white supremacy, is a disturbing trend."

"The real horror isn’t Trump’s predictable descent into hatred or Carlson’s antisemitic conspiracy theories. The disease is in the crowd’s response—ordinary mourners who witnessed extraordinary grace and chose to laugh at its corruption instead. Movements don’t rot at the top alone—they rot when ordinary people cheer the rot as entertainment."

"MAGA wants you to memorialize Charlie Kirk by never quoting Charlie Kirk."

~ Wajahat Ali

It's basically the same thing they do with Jesus. To hear them tell it, they're the best Christians on the block. The only real Christians….

But you won't ever catch them quoting what Jesus actually said. Because every word he uttered is an indictment of their "Christianity."

I don't particularly like that many of the popular criticisms of when "Charlie Kirk said something demonstrably evil" can be debunked if you find the footage in _full context_. I don't agree with Christian conservatism, but I also don't like being gaslit either.

This is an open invitation: show me that Charlie Kirk was the monster everyone says he was with full contextual references only. I won't argue, I'll just listen.

'Bethesda appears to have deleted... a clip of Indy petting a cat and saying "you don't care much about those fascists, do you?" Given the post's proximity to the fatal shooting of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk on September 10, some online took it to be a reference to the #TurningPointUSA founder"
