Republicans Have A Nazi Problem
Brian Beutler: “Left intellectuals have argued in circles for years over whether it’s academically valid to call Donald Trump and his Republican devotees fascist.”
“The debate has mostly pitted practical thinkers, drawing on a nine-year record of creeping fasicsm, against territorial theorists or factionalists retreating to ever-more arcane reasons to absolve MAGA…”
“But now I believe the debate has become obsolete. It’d be more instructive, at this point, if we supplanted the old debate with a new, analogous one over whether the GOP is simply fascist or given over to outright Nazism.”
Trump Asks Apple to Decrypt Phones of Shooters

The Real Trump Mystery
Thomas Edsall: “The mystery of 2024: How is it possible that Donald Trump has a reasonable chance of winning the presidency despite all that voters now know about him? Why hasn’t a decisive majority risen to deny a second term to a man in line to be judged the worst president in American history?”
“The litany of Trump’s liabilities is well known to the American electorate. His mendacity, duplicity, depravity, hypocrisy and venality are irrevocably imprinted on the psyches of American voters.”
“Trump has made it clear that in a second term he would undermine the administration of justice, empower America’s adversaries, endanger the nation’s allies and exacerbate the nation’s racial and cultural rifts.”

Trump Cut Ties to Some Online Fund-Raisers
“Donald Trump’s campaign cut ties late last week with a number of digital firms that had been fund-raising for the campaign and slashed the commission that the remaining vendors can retain by 10 percentage points,” the New York Times reports.
“The moves come as Mr. Trump has fallen far behind Vice President Kamala Harris in the cash race, and they suggest that the Republican operation is seeking to narrow its donor outreach in the final weeks of the campaign to those contributors who are most immediately profitable.”
“Mr. Trump’s campaign told the digital fund-raising companies that were being retained that their share of incoming donations was being reduced to 59 percent of new donations solicited. At least some of the firms had previously gotten as much as 70 percent of the first donation they recruited to the campaign.”

Inside Trump’s Rhetorical Walkabouts
Los Angeles Times: “Is he rambling? Indifferent to his audience? Exhibiting symptoms of cognitive decline? Or, instead, could former President Trump’s extended discourses demonstrate his genius — an ability, as he says, to ‘weave’ disparate stories into a beautiful tapestry?”
“The 78-year-old Republican nominee’s meandering speaking style — and what it might say about his mental state — has become a new fixation in a race already upended when President Biden, 81, dropped out this summer amid questions about his own age and mental acuity.”
Trump Has Narrow Lead in North Carolina

The Nativists Have Taken Over the GOP
Aaron Blake: “A new CNN poll showed that a majority of the Republican Party now agrees that ‘an increasing number of people of many different races, ethnic groups, and nationalities in the U.S.’ is mostly threatening (55 percent) rather than enriching (45 percent) to American culture.”
“This represents a sharp rise from 2019, when just 21 percent of Republicans said that this increasing racial and ethnic diversity was threatening. Back then, Republicans said by a 48-point margin that it was actually more enriching than threatening.”
Celebrity Endorsements Cut Both Ways
NBC News: “The courting of celebrity endorsements is a long-running tradition in presidential politics and one that Democrats generally win. But in the process, Democrats can open themselves up to an easy line of attack from Republicans: Democrats cater to Hollywood, not average Americans.”
Ramaswamy Disputes Haitian Immigrants Ate Pets
“Staunch Trump ally and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy said he didn’t see evidence of Haitian migrants eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio – a debunked allegation that was pushed by former President Donald Trump during the presidential debate this month,” USA Today reports.
Said Ramaswamy: “Having gone to Springfield, I didn’t see that evidence.”
