There is no denying that white supremacy is an engine of the right.

There are some Republican voters who are sympathetic to their party’s ultranationalist turnand don’t believe the party’s attitudes toward issues such as immigration and crime are the products of racial animus. But over and over again, right-wing leaders and thinkers reveal that white supremacism is an engine of this movement.

The latest example comes via an episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show” released this week, in which the former Fox News host interviews podcast host and newsletter writer Darryl Cooper. Carlson, arguably the most influential right-wing nationalist commentator in America, said Cooper “may be the best and most honest popular historian in the United States.” But Cooper has made clear that his intellectual project regarding World War II includes Holocaust revisionism.

    when the Democrats are currently the ones funding and arming and abetting a genocide.

    This bit of ‘both sides’ is kinda neat. It looks at how much worse it would be under a republican dictatorship and then says the problem is Democrats.

    When you were preserving witness accounts, was that from your office in former Leningrad?

      Wow, you are a real [expletive removed]. I produced this movie for David Beckman in Cleveland, OH. Our goal was to preserve the accounts of people whom Steven Spielberg had missed in the community before they passed away because they were in their 90’s.

      I’m accusing the post of both-sidesism. I think we should violently oppose republicans. I think democrats are currently enabling a genocide.
