With context it’s not believable, but people wouldn’t even engage with other criticism of his history unless you took the whole Nazi tattoo off the table.

If that had been the only glaring issue with his character it would be damning, but combined with his actual history and him being a nepo “small” business tyrant… I couldn’t see how anyone was willing to extend him the level of trust he gartered. It’s like people haven’t heard of politicians lying for personal gain or something.
