Ready for the Great Nazi Shift?

Because it's ready for you.

You guys know that I like keeping things light these days. Serious was for Takimag, and them days is over. But I’ll get a little uncharacteristically weighty this week…maybe I have something I need to get off my chest, maybe I just wanna be on record calling something as I did eight years ago when I predicted that the “Groypers” would morph into a bigger problem than rightists saw at the time.

Risk/reward shifts often arrive with a bang.

Leipzig 1939: Being a Nazi = reward (hell, it was mandatory). Being a card-carrying member of the Communist Party? Big fucking risk.

Then there was a big bloody six-year BANG!!!!!!

Leipzig (GDR) 1950: Being a card-carrying member of the Communist Party = reward (hell, it was mandatory). Being a Nazi? Big fucking risk.

However, sometimes that type of shift arrives without bloodshed.

Most American towns and cities, 1950: A job applicant talking about his church and his savior Jesus Christ and his stay-at-home wife and how he’s training his son to be a football star so he doesn’t become a sissy would merit “you’re hired” and a hearty whiteman handshake.

Try saying that shit at a job interview today.

No shooting war was needed for that shift; just a few decades of “changing mores.”

Whether via war or “evolving mores,” movements become dominant not because everyone buys into the ideology, but because not opposing the ideology becomes the price of making a living, the price of not being blackballed, alienated, harassed, etc.

The American right is on the verge of a major shift. People on the right, people I know, people I can’t name, are refusing to do anything that might be seen as opposing the Nick Fuentes/Tucker Carlson “we must fight organized Jewry, priority number one” juggernaut. These unnamed people are in a position to speak out, even in rather benign ways, but won’t. And here’s the key: they’re not refusing to speak because they agree with Fuentes/Carlson. They don’t. These are good people, very good people, not remotely anti-Jewish or hateful toward anybody.

These unnamed people are refusing to be openly critical of Tucker/Fuentes because they fear for their career in conservative politics. They fear that being seen as anti-Nick/Tuck might cause repercussions that could affect their job prospects.

They might be correct. And that’s chilling.

Sure, lots of high-profile conservatives are speaking out against Nick/Tuck on X. But it’s the usual suspects, the expected ones: Jews and pro-Israel Christians, the people whose criticism is easily dismissed by the Nick/Tuck crowd. Indeed, the Nick/Tuckers welcome such criticism, because they want nothing more than to isolate their opponents as “Jews following the dictates of 'the Tribe’” and “Christians infected with the Zionist mind virus” (Carlson called Christian Zionism a “mind virus”).

Those openly slamming Nick/Tuck are already committed to that “side.” Nick/Tuck doesn’t fear losing their support, because Nick/Tuck doesn’t want their support. Telling Tucker “you lost Mike Huckabee” is like telling him “you lost Don Knotts.”

Big deal.

What Nick/Tuck wants is to coerce those not already committed to being opposition into never becoming opposition. “We are the future…and you don’t want to jeopardize your future, do you?”

I never though I’d see a day when good people would actually pause before speaking out against Holocaust denial and Jew-hatred. When good people would say, “look, I’m against those things, but if I say anything publicly, I might lose work.”

But that’s happening. I can’t go into details, I can’t name names. Discretion goes against my nature as an asshole, but in this case I won’t name names.

But it’s happening. I know a few things you don’t.

I’ll leave it there.

The rebranded GOP elephant. (Peter Griffin voice: “You think Cracker Barrel was bad!”)

No, wait - I’ll leave it here. Because you don’t have to take my word for this shit. Last week, following the Nick/Tuck lovefest, JD Vance was doing the TPUSA rounds when, during the Q&A, a young Groyper said of Jews, “Not only does their religion not agree with ours, but also openly supports the prosecution of ours.”

He meant “persecution,” of course. Don’t laugh; these illiterate incoherent imbeciles are fast becoming the most influential movers n’ shakers on the right. Rightists are being commanded to respect these cretins. “You don’t have to agree with them, but respect them!” Vance didn’t dare push back against the “Jews persecute Christians” accusation. The fact that his own wife’s religion “doesn’t agree” with Christianity made no difference. He refused to condemn the statement, insisting instead that Groypers shouldn’t worry because Trump can control the Jews.

This is the fucking VP, the most likely GOP candidate in 2028. And he’s afraid to state that Jews do not openly support the “prosecution” of Christians (especially compared to Muslims, who are actively murdering Christians as we speak).

In a final act of ritual humiliation, Fuentes referred to Vance’s Hindu wife as a “jeet.” And Vance was too frightened to say anything to defend his own fucking wife.

Vance’s cowardice was applauded by a triumphant Fuentes, who posted on X, “Even your vice president, JD Vance, has to pander to us.”

Read that again: “Even your vice president, JD Vance, has to pander to us.”

Your vice president. Not “my,” but yours.

Fuentes followed that up with a threat: “If JD Vance condemns the Groypers, we will show up in Iowa, and then New Hampshire, and then Nevada and South Carolina to make sure that he never gets the nomination. I will be there in Iowa with ten thousand Groypers and we will be there at every event.”

These are people out to conquer.

And they’re conquering quite well, as they celebrate making your leaders bow before them.

Fuentes also stated, “We will not let Turning Point USA fall back into the hands of Israel. Whatever you think about it, the Groypers will not let that happen. We will make sure Turning Point completes its Groyper conversion.”

The day after the Vance capitulation, walking shitstain Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, released a video in which he pledged his unyielding support to Nick/Tuck, calling the “foreign globalists” who criticize Tucker a “venomous coalition,” and ordering his followers to not “cancel” Nick Fuentes but engage with him (Fuentes says Hitler is cool, Hitler was right, the Holocaust is a hoax, and Jews should be executed…but Roberts says “don’t cancel - engage!”).

As if to make sure that even the most blind among us got the point, Roberts followed this up with a tweet condemning a Jew, Solomon Friedman of PornHub, for being a pornographer, adding that “it is time to arrest, prosecute, and convict the sick perverts” like Friedman.

As several prominent X influencers pointed out, Friedman does NOT run PornHub…gentiles do!

Vance taking a knee, Roberts taking a Hakenkreuz, this is just the beginning. A taste of what’s to come.

It’s not that “good men will do nothing.” It’s that good men with something to lose will do nothing. Indeed, good men with something to lose are doing nothing as we speak, as the risk/reward shift on the right solidifies.

All that’s left is the rhetoric switch.

Here’s how that’s gonna play out:

Right now, the Nazis and their mouthpieces are not attempting to force their dogma on you.

You’re not ready for that yet, not primed enough, not socialized enough for the Nazi dog park, Fido.

What they want is to get you to accept them as the equal of any other GOP faction (pro-life, Second Amendment, low taxes, etc.). To do this, they’re using rhetoric you’re comfortable with.

First, they say “don’t cancel us!” That plays to over a decade of you fretting about “cancel culture.” Well, rightists don’t cancel! At least not within their own ranks. So when Fuentes fans wail “please don’t cancel us! It’s beneath your noble principles,” they’ve hooked you.

Except arguing to keep foul ideas out of a political party is not “canceling.” For decades, rightists have fought to keep, for example, gun control enthusiasts from having a place of prominence in the GOP. That’s not “canceling;” that’s how politics works. When Ann Coulter excoriated first-term Trump for going back on his immigration pledges, she wasn’t trying to “cancel” him; she was trying to bring him in line with what she felt was best for the party and the country. Bringing pressure on Trump to dump his advisors who were arguing for soft immigration policies was not “cancel culture.” It was fucking politics, played right.

Stop for a minute and think. The people who claim that opposition to Fuentes and his Nazis equals “canceling” are the same people who always threaten to primary any Republican incumbent with whom they disagree. You’re being accused of being a “canceler” by people who routinely say “I don’t like that GOP rep’s views; therefore I shall try to get them ‘fired’ by primarying them and pushing them out of their job.’”

And yes, primarying someone is also not “cancel culture.” It’s our political system, operating as it should. So don’t be guilted into thinking that saying “I’m against letting Nazis into the Party” means you’re a “canceler.”

The Nazis and their allies’ next rhetorical trick is to accuse you of “sowing division” by being against Fuentes (who, I’ll remind you, claims that Jews should be murdered).

Again, stop and think: Tucker Carlson claims that Christians who support Israel have a “mind virus.” He declares that “Christian Zionists” are the worst humans on earth, worse than communists, pedophiles, and murderers.

But you’re the one “sowing division?”

The Trump 2016 victory was all about “sowing division.” Trump straightforwardly declared that his goal was to force out the Con Inc. open-borders faction, the “Jeb Bush is inevitable” faction, and he did. That primary was defined by “sowing division,” complete with insulting nicknames and attacks on the wives of rivals.

And you were fine with it then. But now, an offshoot of MAGA - “Nazi MAGA” - is telling you “oh dear heavens, never sow division!”

Don’t fall for it. Understand what’s happening. Nazi MAGA wants to do to regular MAGA what regular MAGA did to Con Inc. in 2016. Because Nazi MAGA views regular MAGA (Coulter MAGA, a MAGA centered around immigration, not “fighting the Talmud”) in the same light that regular MAGA saw Con Inc. in 2016: weak, compromised, not truly “America First,” because Fuentes et al have narrowed the definition of “America” to “Christian whites.”

The final rhetorical trick is to claim that you should be “fighting the left” instead of “fighting each other.”

This position was detailed by The Federalist’s tumor-in-charge Sean Davis:

“The left is dangerous; we must not let the left win! Therefore, fighting the left must be our top priority!”

Once more I say, stop and think. Keeping Nazis out of MAGA, and out of the GOP, is fighting the left. Every Nazi-tinged GOP candidate in recent elections has lost badly:

Gubernatorial candidate Mark “Black Hitler” Robinson in NC.

Minnesota’s Royce “Hitler is cool!” White (candidate for senate).

Franklin, Tennessee’s Gabrielle “does actual sieg heils at campaign rallies” Hanson.

Congressional candidate Caroline “a Final Solution is needed to the Jewish problem in America” Kane, Texas CD-7.

These Nazis lost badly. Trump won NC but Robinson lost by 15 points. White lost his race by 16 points. Hanson lost 20% to 80% in a GOP-majority city. Kane lost 38% to 61% after the Houston Chronicle tricked GOP voters by endorsing her in the primary, thus ensuring her win, only to endorse her Dem opponent in the general, helping the Dems score a resounding victory.

And now here’s the fun part: the Republicans running next year in NC, MN, and TX who were forced by “party loyalty” to endorse Robinson, Royce, and Kane are already having their endorsements used against them for 2026.

The left wants you to support Nazis. If you’re truly interesting in fighting the left, if you want actual election victories, then don’t let in the Nazis.

This brings us to a disturbing reality: People like The Federalist’s Davis who claim that opposing Nazis is bad for the GOP in elections actually do believe that Nazism will prove a popular platform among voters. They truly think that. They really believe that deep down, all blue-collar whites are open to Nazism, open to Hitler, and it’s only JEW MONEY POWER that’s obscured that truth.

So go on, run some Nazis - it’ll be a winning strategy!

Even though there’s not a single piece of evidence to support that notion, and dozens of real-life examples that disprove it.

Know this: anyone on the right who says “stop opposing Fuentes and concentrate on beating the left” genuinely believes that Nazism will beat the left.

To put a finer point on a pinhead, Davis also tweeted that he believes the entire “anti-Nazi” fracas is nothing but a “globalist” ploy to take Vance out as VP. So Fuentes calls Vance “literally a fat, gay, race traitor that married a jееt,” but it’s the people who criticize Fuentes who are trying to take out Vance?

That claim is so forced it could be a colonoscope.

More to the point, the fact that Fuentes says “kill the Jews” and Davis’ reaction is “those who criticize Fuentes must have a hidden agenda” means that Davis believes that it’s so odd, so weird, so outlandish to criticize someone who says “kill the Jews” that any such critic must have an ulterior motive.

If you don’t think “kill the Jews” is a bad idea, you will be baffled at the motives of those who oppose the idea.

These imbeciles will be the death of the GOP.

I have no faith that GOP/MAGA activists and influencers (or weak-willed politicians like Vance) will be able to resist the rhetorical weapons being deployed: “Don’t cancel!” “Don’t sow division!” “Fight the left not your fellow rightists!”

The Nazis will be let in.

They’ve already accomplished the most important goal: making it risky to oppose them to the extent that “good men will do nothing” if those “good men” care about their future.

They will definitely accomplish their next goal: using the above-mentioned rhetorical clubs to beat you into compliance.

Next year, and I’m calling it now, they’ll move to goal #3: forced acceptance of their ideology. Everyone will have to at least give a nod to the notion that “organized Jewry is our misfortune” and “the Jews” must be fought. Litmus test. Purity test. You’ll have to acknowledge the legitimacy of the concept, even if you don’t vocally support it.

This will happen. I’ve seen enough “good men do nothing” the past few weeks to know with certainty, this will happen.

At least I’m on record predicting it.

I’ll try to be funnier next week.

If you think these things need to be said, any coins in the tip jar (Buy Me a Beer, GiveSendGo) are most appreciated. It’s as much about morale as money; these are bad times, and it’s nice to get a reminder from readers that I’m not talking to myself.
