    If your most passionate followers include an unusually high number of Nazis, checking through their videos for Nazi references becomes a necessity. Or they could have known the whole time and thought it was a good dogwhistle to their buddies and an opportunity to trigger the libs. “It’s not from the Third Reich, you libs are always making up fake news about Nazi connections!”

    We just don’t know whether it was incompetence or pro-Nazi signaling, which is a pretty solid indictment all on its own.

      Yes we do. It is never, ever mere incompetence. Quit giving traitor scum who want to destroy American democracy the benefit of the doubt, not only because they don’t deserve it, but because in doing so you are helping them win.

        Oh, I’m sorry, I missed the memo that I was supposed to become a party messaging bot. Surely if we just get all weirdly aggro to people on our side about minor things and steadfastly refuse to engage with reality that will make Biden win rather than just making politics seem like a warring spin zone where no one is actually a real person.

        Get lost. You’re not good at politics, you’re just a rando on a niche message board.

          Acknowledging reality is not “becom[ing] a party messaging bot.” Treating this existential threat as if it were some sort of team sports bullshit is beyond privileged; it’s downright delusional.
