The guy worked for Blackwater, had a Nazi tattoo for decades, and was making racist comments and using gay slurs into his mid-thirties. I am drowning in flop sweat and judging the hell out of anyone still defending him
Why is the Google URL so damn long all of a sudden?

The ADL doesn't care because the Hitler lovers' party is still institutionally pro-Likud.
An amazing story of this decade was the ADL turning all its fire on Israel critics while tech companies dismantled their censors and Hitler-lovers came roaring back.

The Hill op ed that people still screenshot and dunk on where it’s all: Kamala LIES that trump will send the military after you is really funny not because of what is happening now, but because it was published long after trump literally put it on his 2024 campaign website that he would do it
Two of the worst things to ever happen in this century (Steven Universe and Biden dropping out) were the fault of The West Wing and either you know this is right or you won't get it no matter how many times it's explained.
Again, I would actually really find the story of a former neo-Nazi turned leftist to be a great leader for our ideology, but nobody ever wants to admit to that.
i think if someone has nazi tattoos, even if you fully trust they are not a white supremacist or nazi or have moved away from those ideas, you don’t need to defend them or twist yourself into knots advocating for them.

they’re the one with the nazi tats. they are advocating for themselves.
This man in particular is really overblowing the situation.
Honestly, I think this whole Trump ballroom thing is being overblown.
Why do so many people listen to the NewsRadio guy?

This is literally Michael Tracey
The same people who get touched on the shoulder and say “THAT’S ASSAULT” love to consult the dictionary when someone says someone was tortured by a state apparatus
Who says they are?
Cenk Uygur claims that the leaked chats from Young Republicans praising Hitler and making very racist comments are not representative of all Republicans, all Trump voters, or even all Young Republicans.

Grim says he'll take the internet's word that it's a Nazi symbol.

There's also, you know, recorded history that shows it as a Nazi symbol.

A drunken tattoo is a mountain that turns out to be a penis upon second glance.

If you got a nazi tattoo and didn't get it lasered off first thing in the morning then you were ok with having a nazi tattoo
"A regrettable tattoo" which shows your support for genocide, by the way.
Someone tell me why everyone's falling on their swords for the Blackwater Redditor with the SS tattoo in a primary with a bunch of other candidates that's months away

sorry I couldn’t find a version of this meme where both of the arms are white
Basically, if he were Edward Norton in American History X I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
If he were, say, a former neo-Nazi who changed his worldview years ago, that would actually be somewhat inspiring and I would certainly endorse him--he could even justify the tattoo by saying he has it to remind himself of who he once was, but he's not doing that.
Question: If Planter is so anti-establishment and populist, why are the people defending him through the Nazi tattoo scandal mostly establishment Democrats and Pod Save America (but I repeat myself)?

The have to be more alternatives than just "spineless nebbish" and "guy with a Nazi tattoo."
After hearing this guy shitposts on Reddit and has sick tats, I'm even more FOR him to defeat Susan Collins.

We need to stop holding rising Progressives to impossible standards; more real and imperfect they are, the more we need them in office. Can't fight Nazis w/ the Hakeem Jeffries of the world!
If we want to defeat Susan Collins, we need to try something new. The same old tired playbook will not work.

"We are witnessing a split-screen moment: the aspiring autocrat has declared an expanding war against the nation’s cities and their leaders. But at the same time, he’s verging on losing what until recently seemed to be his total (and unconstitutional) dominion over the federal budget."
A rickety dictatorship
Trump's hand of cards is weaker than it appears.

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Trump dumping brown liquid on protesters, both presidents have made some controversial earth-tone color choices.
