      I think this was a YouTuber that was pointing out that the klan endorsed Trump to its members. I got a trumpet sending me this as a “gotcha” attempt when I said this was easily believable… but I doubted that real klan members would open carry sort to speak.

      The point is still… the klan endorses trump.

    It’s been said that not every Trump Supporter is a Nazi, but every Nazi is a Trump Supporter. I couldn’t find sources for the first part though.

      I’m sorry though, at this point if you are still for Trump, I immediately assume you’re a nazi, racist or misogynist.

      yeah, it’s pretty interesting. The Nazis, the KKK, and the Russians support him but “that picture is FAKE”, or “the flags are photoshopped” or whatever their pathetic excuse is. Dude’s a real-life supervillain.

    “Get karma”

    WTF are they even talking about? By all accounts nothing happened to them and they were even cheered on by the trump crowd.

      Well it’s mostly been kinda both for a while hasn’t it? I wonder how my dad’s dad would feel about Trump, though. Never got to meet him but he was a POW in the Bataan Death March

    When people claim this - I basically say - “Fine, let’s pretend for a second that these people don’t support Nazis. The Nazis sure think that they’re on the same side. And they aren’t exactly being removed”

    Then the reply is almost always something about “Freeze Peach”, and I say “Well, they removed guns from the event, since it’s a private event didn’t they?”

    There is a whole cottage industry for selling reactionary apologetics to people who want to pretend that they’re not fascists.
