Maybe they meant “reporters” felt relieved. Makes more sense.

To the National Socialist Workers Party, just about all political ideologies are Far Right. Same with the Democrat Socialist Workers Party.

If there was ever a “beat the #### out of someone without going to jail day”, I would drive straight to the Washington Post.

Some of the Comments are pretty brutal. The problem the WaPo has with this is that slapping a White Supremacist, racist, Nazi label on every American who happens to own a MAGA hat means that the terms cease to have any meaning very quickly, and everyone recognizes the scam that is being attempted when those labels are slapped on other countries' politics. The author here is attempting to delegitimize their concerns rather than understand them. One is left with the impression that she isn't very bright, the more so for the patronizing little disquisition on how parliamentary politics works. Most of us do get that, Bethany, which is why we're reading the piece in the first place.

This whole approach to rhetorically crying wolf suffers from the same problem the original fairy tale did: when real Nazis come along no one is going to be listening anymore. The WaPo used to be better than that, but it was once upon a time, long, long ago.

A car right party who loves their country is racist. Ok...I guess I am, according to the left. I'm not, I might be Deplorable, but I'm not racist. 😀
