        Still waiting on the evidence of white nationalism and violent rhetoric in his platform. It’s clear the establishment is scared of him and is trying to use the common concerns of leftists to attack him, but it’s just kind of silly to call him a secret cryptofascist white supremacist when there are openly unapologetic ones already in government.

            So he’s talked about gassing people in private chats? Has he said he loves Hitler?

            Is there evidence of him using race or ethnicity as a bogeyman “other” to persecute and exile people?

            Has he advocated for violence or extreme “solutions” to perceived problems in the country?

            Frankly, nothing on his platform comes close to what is already happening in plain sight. Platner has stated he’s anti-billionaire and that’s clear enough a reason why all of this muck is getting raked. If you’re going to do their work for them, I hope you’re at least getting paid for it.

                Like I said before, symbols don’t make the Nazi. What makes someone a Nazi is their beliefs in authoritarianism, white supremacy, violence as a solution and the persecution of ethnic and LGBT minorities. Without any evidence of that, this is all hot air.

                  authoritarianism, white supremacy, violence as a solution and the persecution of ethnic and LGBT minorities.

                  So, his military career.

                    Have you met literally anyone from the military? Get out and talk to some real people some time. If you’re in the US especially. As I’ve said before, some vets are more disillusioned on a visceral level with the establishment than any armchair intellectual can manage because they’ve seen the bullshit first hand.
