Paul Krugman's Deranged Call to Purge
America of MAGA Is Scarier Than You Think
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/2/2026 8:02:12 PM
It is now so common for leftists, indeed most Democrats, to call Trump supporters Nazis that it's easy to shrug and move on. Unfortunately, as much as we would like to think it is a mere rhetorical flourish, it is not one at all. If you think that Democrats aren't serious when they propose what sound like insane measures, just remember what they did during COVID, what they are doing with alphabet ideology (literally sterilizing and mutilating kids and putting sex offenders into girls' locker rooms), and what they did to President Trump before his reelection. They are quite serious about all the insane things they talk about

Yesterday, the Department of Justice dropped a superseding indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, revealing far more evidence it has obtained that pretty conclusively demonstrates that the organization didn't, as it claimed, just pay informants to spy on white supremacist hate groups; it actively organized and paid for activities such as cross burnings, rallies, and even klan robes for individuals who wanted to leave the group.
It has the goods. The bank records, the payments, everything.
An organization that sued the Klan into bankruptcy then used its own money, collected from donors using its IRS nonprofit status, to prop up these organizations and fund their activities.
Scott Rasmussen still does polling, even though he left Rasmussen Reports and now runs RMG Research. One of his big loves is working for The Napolitan Institute, which he founded to do deep dives into Americans' real attitudes rather than the ones revealed by the flawed and often motivated polling done today.
His goal is to "amplify the voice of the American people," rather than just gather data for politicians so they can more easily manipulate people for votes or to change their attitudes through framing issues.
It does interesting work, with a more populist tinge, based on what seems to me to be a deep skepticism

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday. You know that was likely to spark a storm of "performance theater" by the Democrats, peppering Rubio with questions that were outside the subject of the hearing.
But Rubio has shown that he's truly adept at dealing with these characters.
My colleague Bob Hoge reported earlier on Wednesday on how he sliced and diced Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-36), who was trying to push a bizarre conspiracy about President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump "keeps going to hospitals" (he doesn't) and that no one has seen him in eight days (we see him all the time).
Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) suggested to a group of supporters that the 77 million+ Americans who voted for President Donald Trump are ignorant and ill-informed.
Murphy, the Deputy Democratic Conference Secretary who is said to be on the shortlist to one day replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in leading Senate Democrats, recently insulted millions of Americans by suggesting to Fox News that they are total rubes and “actually don’t know much,” living as zombies.
“There are lots of Trump voters who don’t know much about the facts,”
Incumbent Karen Bass will advance to a November runoff election in the Los Angeles mayoral race after finishing as the top candidate in the city’s nonpartisan primary on Tuesday.
“I appreciate you for standing with me when others doubted me, because you know who I am,” Bass told supporters after she successfully punched her ticket for the runoff. “I have devoted my entire life to serving the city that I love, where I was born, and I’m going to continue to do that all the way to victory in November.”

Ten days and counting of anti-ICE riots outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall.
Threats made to the safety of performers booked for a national celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
We could be in for another long, hot summer of leftist violence.
Last week rocker Bret Michaels pulled out of the planned Freedom 250 State Fair in Washington, DC, citing “concerns” regarding “the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.”
An earlier Freedom 250 event was marred by vandalism, NBC News reported Tuesday, when saboteurs cut fuel lines and contaminated the National Mall.

In California, the term “Election Day” is really a misnomer — it’s election month, at least. Ballots were sent out for Tuesday’s primary on May 4 to every eligible voter, which amounts to over 23 million people. Folks have been voting ever since.
So Tuesday marks the end of a seemingly never-ending period that ends this evening; it’s hardly election day.
Well, perhaps we’ll know the winners and the losers by the end of the evening, you might argue, so we can still call it "election night." Oh no, no, no, this is the Left Coast, and things get strange out here. It can take weeks
NEW YORK — The U.S. stock market inched to more records Tuesday as winners of the artificial-intelligence boom kept driving higher.
The S&P 500 rose 0.1% after drifting between small gains and losses through the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 228 points, or 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up by less than 0.1%. All three set all-time highs.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise helped lead the market, and its stock soared 19.5% after it reported a profit for the latest quarter that blew past analysts’ expectations. It credited demand from customers building their artificial-intelligence capabilities.
Marvell Technology leaped 32.5%
n December 2025, Southampton police found a crime scene with a Sikh man claiming racist assault and a stabbed British-Polish teen dying and pleading for help. The police believed the Sikh and arrested the dying teen because, in the UK, all that matters now is your skin color.
British authorities finally released bodycam footage from the death of teenager Henry Nowak. Vickrum Digwa murderedthe 18-year-old with a Sikh ceremonial knife, and received a sentence of life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years on Monday. UK wokies had been resisting release of the bodycam footage because it proves
Tuesday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) refused to denounce Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo.
Host Kasie Hunt said, “So speaking of politics there today Graham Platner, the likely nominee for Senate in Maine, was meeting with Democrats after additional revelations. There have been some in your caucus, including, Cory Booker and, John Fetterman, notably, who’ve criticized Platner and raised questions about whether he’s the right nominee in that race. Do you think, considering everything on the line control of the Senate, that could come down to that race in Maine, is he the right person for Democrats to put forward?”
The number of open jobs in the U.S. economy jumped to 7.6 million in April while layoffs declined, evidence of how demand for workers has intensified.
At the end of April, there were just over 7.6 million open positions, up from about 6.9 million at the end of March, according to the Labor Department’s monthly report on job openings and labor turnover. This is the largest number of job vacancies in two years.
The manufacturing sector saw openings rise to 474,000, up 24,000 from the previous month and 98,000 higher than a year ago. The monthly increase was entirely in durable goods businesses, as nondurable goods openings remained flat.
The U.S. Supreme Court on June 2 intervened again to confirm its previous ruling that will allow Alabama to move forward with a map eliminating racial gerrymandering.
In Allen v. Milligan, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that Alabama is right to redraw its congressional map to eliminate race-based districts, just as it ruled in Louisiana v. Callais and Allen v. Caster. The Voting Rights Act does not allow race-based gerrymandering, the Court previously ruled, and that still holds true in spite of an activist District Court.
The reality is that judicial activists are mad because the map is likely to favor Republicans once it is drawn

Even the left-wing Guardian is laughing out loud at Barry Obama’s ugly-a** monument to himself.
“‘Like a Klingon prison’: inside Barack Obama’s audacious, near-windowless, $850m presidential library,” reads the headline, and the mockery doesn’t stop there.
We’re about two weeks away from this Chicago-based monstrosity opening to the public, and the Guardian, which I’m sure the Obama folks expected to be friendly, was not terribly impressed. Here are some highlights from their coverage:
“He might have seemed humble in office, but in his post-presidential, Netflix-producing afterlife, Obama has erected the largest, costliest and most audacious complex of them all,” the report explains. “Behold the $850m Obamalisk – or,
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is facing fresh allegations of having exaggerated his military experience, after a yearlong Spotlight on Maryland investigation yielded “no documentary evidence” to support his claim of having “led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan.”
(Snip) In a May 2022 post on X, Moore wrote, “When I was an Army captain and led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan, we lived by a simple principle: Leave no one behind.”
(Snip) According to the Sun, “Military records reviewed by Spotlight show no evidence that Moore, a lieutenant assigned as a brigade headquarters staff officer, experienced firefights in Afghanistan as his public narrative conveys.”

The House approved a war powers resolution Wednesday that would halt the US military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long war that has reordered politics at home and abroad.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war, abruptly shutting down floor action two weeks ago when the war powers resolution was on the verge of approval. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on and as Trump struggles to negotiate a quick resolution.
The roll call Wednesday was 215-208,
A World Without The U.N. Is A Better Place

The United Nations is going broke? Please, say it is so. The world’s largest parasite, the running cocktail party for despots, apparatchiks, terrorists, climate fanatics and Americanophobes, should be shut down — with prejudice.
News reports tell us the U.N. is facing imminent bankruptcy, headed toward a financial collapse and is at risk of insolvency. It’s “expected to officially run out of money in mid-August.”
The best part is “the United States is a big reason why.”
“The United States owes roughly $2 billion to the organization’s regular budget on top of another $2.2 billion for peacekeeping
The Democratic nominee to represent New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District in the House of Representatives, Rebecca Bennett, said she "stopped going to church" because she could not sit in a room "full of people who voted for Trump," audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
At a campaign event in February, a woman asked Bennett, "I loved hearing you say that you're a patriot, but what are you going to do about that being a right-coded way of presenting yourself?" Bennett responded with a story about how she stopped attending church services because she could not bear to be around people who voted for President Donald Trump.
After months of campaigning, millions of dollars’ worth of advertisements and a 61-candidate ballot for governor that included names such as LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott and Barack D. Obama Shaw, California voters have arrived at the next phase of the election:
The wait. (Snip) When voters wait until close to Election Day to return their ballots, as many Democrats did in this race, those ballots can pile up in election offices — only to be processed and added to the count days later, especially in large counties with millions of votes to tally.

Mom’s not the word.
New York state Democrats passed a bill to erase words like “mother” and “father” from Family Court Law — in the latest gender-neutral rewriting in the state’s official records.
“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” and “paternity” proceedings would become “parentage” proceedings under the woke bill that was rammed through both houses of the state legislature this week. A “putative father” in paternity proceedings would now be defined as “an alleged parent” under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and goes to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.
Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill’s debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady who she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off.
Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book “A View from the East Wing” with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage.
Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up —

Two hundred and ten years ago this summer, a 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley, bored one stormy afternoon, decided to write the scariest story ever told.
It was a tale of a brilliant and arrogant man who wanted to change the world but ended up creating a monster. She named him Barack Obama.
All right, she named him Dr. Frankenstein. But had the great author been around to witness Adam Hamawy win the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, she would’ve understood right away that she was looking at a familiar tale of hubris, malice and ghouls on the loose.
The St. Paul city attorney says no state charges will be filed against anti-ICE protesters who demonstrated in a St. Paul church earlier this year. The protesters disrupted a Sunday service in January because a church leader there is also a ranking official in a local ICE office.
In a statement sent to MPR News Wednesday, attorney Irene Kao said the decision comes after her office reviewed evidence submitted by law enforcement.
