In other news, water has been found to be remarkably damp, according to scientists from Well-Duh Laboratories.
Yes but who funded this research? I bet NoShit Sherlock was behind it..

A lot of free speech "alphas" sure seem to want to be ruled.
The true secret to (Alpha Males) is each and every one wants to be a subbie Omega to an even alphaer male.
Authoritarians literally believe that the only way to run things is to put a bully in charge of them. Not only don't they believe in democracy or cooperation, they don't believe in free speech or markets either.
(Markets are acceptable to an authoritarian only insofar as the bully in charge and his buddies are permitted to lie to, cheat, and steal from other market participants. It is strictly forbidden for other market participants to voluntarily organize to exclude the bully. Any form of organization that does not have a bully in charge of it is illicit to the authoritarian mindset.)

They embrace the darkness believing that they will escape their fate, little knowing that they will merely be disposed of LAST

"Forget the Constitution" -- Party of the Constitution voter.
Absolutely wild that people feel comfortable saying that. What a shit show the right has become.
On Reddit, anyway, on conservative safe spaces with flair you'll often see people self identifying as monarchists. It's a nice way of saying "fascist dictatorship". The leader would of course be psychologically identical to them in perpetuity, just because.

How the fuck is this worth printing?
It's Newsweek, which is a tabloid like The Sun.
Because it feeds the culture war so we don't unite against the billionaires destroying our middle class

Thought everybody learned that as kids...
you know, it was only Schoolhouse Rock holding this Republic together from the very beginning
I'd say we need to bring back Schoolhouse Rock, but we need to bring back Saturday Morning Cartoons first. :)

White nationalists love Trump a lot, not a shock.
Oh fuck I didn't realize we were declaring today. I hereby declare myself king of kings, all other kings are now subject to my rule, thanks.
The fuck is wrong with these people?
He's a grifter. He doesn't believe anything he's saying, he's just like the guy he's pledging allegiance to. He'll collect in some way, whether it is in royalties from views, speaking engagements, or whatever. He's playing a character.
It doesn't excuse him or his bullshit. But guaranteed this is a grift on the manipulated masses.
So very much.

Jesus these people are somehow navigating cognitive dissonance like it was the final frontier
1000% these people wishing for a king have a "don't tread on me" flag.
Bitch, is Emperor Norton (Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico) a joke to you?
It just shows how dumb they are, even if you wanted a king, why would you pick that fat loser lol
You idiots can't even find a corrupt piece of shit that is good at their job
why would you pick that fat loser
the answer to this has alway been "because no matter how badly he fucks everything up, he'll never get in the way of them being white christian nationalist terrorists"
I mean not to hype them up but we are lucky it was his dumb ass instead of cruz or anyone else who knows how to work the system that is also a racist racist piece of shit
Trump was real bad but it could have been much much worse
His stupidness was his draw, though. It's literally critical to his success that he was too stupid to work the system. Every time he said the quiet part out loud and violated the right's commitment to cryptofascism (tw: just tons of open hate speech and racial slurs) most of us didn't care, a few of us saw what was happening and were duly upset and enraged, but a significant portion of the population consisting of exasperated racists who were sick of getting no open support said "Finally..."

I thought Fuentes was helping Ye's campaign. What happened there?
He probably realised Ye isn't white.
So THAT'S why he was covering his face when touring with Fuentes! /s
Real life Clayton Bigsby
The same White Nationalists who want to defend "freedom" and our "democracy" also have no problem appointing a king of America.
oof
He makes money off this behavior. Ignore. It's the only thing these people can't stand, including Trump.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Far-right activist Nick Fuentes voiced his support for Donald Trump by swearing allegiance to the former president in a video circulating on social media.
Trump, who surrendered at Atlanta's Fulton County Jail on Thursday after being indicted on 13 counts over allegations that he broke the law attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in Georgia, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, describing the case against him as a politically motivated witch hunt.
Fuentes—described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a white nationalist livestreamer who advocates pulling the Republican Party further to the extreme far-right end of the political spectrum—has had a rocky relationship with Trump.
Prior to November 2022, Fuentes was a vocal MAGA supporter who often spoke in favor of Trump and has criticized mainstream Republicans.
The Holocaust denier attended a dinner at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in November with rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, along with two other men.
And I swear allegiance to God and Jesus Christ," Fuentes said in a video that was later shared to X, formerly Twitter, by account Right Wing Watch.
The original article contains 453 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

only cowards and peasants feel the need for a king
Not surprised his followers would see him in such a limelight.
We don't have kings, you kill-billy freak. If you want a dictatorship, move to a third-world country where you belong.
I somewhat get people thinking having a good king is better than a bunch of quibling politicians, but kings weren't all powerful and the quibling politicians in their day were still the ones that actually ran the show.
And if you're going to chose a king, why chose orange painted generic loudmouth manchild number 5322.
Fucking what... I get it, they've been at this for a while. But what?
