‘I’m Not A Nazi,’ Trump Tells US Campaign Rally

By AFP

October 28, 2024

Donald Trump told campaign supporters Monday in swing state Georgia that he is “not a Nazi,” pushing back on critics’ accusations that the Republican is seeking to be an authoritarian American leader.

“I’m not a Nazi. I’m the opposite of a Nazi,” Trump told a boisterous crowd in Atlanta, one day after he held a mega-rally in New York’s famed Madison Square Garden that was widely condemned for racist remarks that his allies made during the event.

    Honest question as I genuinely don’t know, but are guys like Spencer full on “Hitler did nothing wrong and the Holocaust never happened (but if it did they deserved it)” guys though?

    Maybe I’m just expecting too much from the absurdly politically illiterate US populace lol

      Fuentes is that guy. He openly discusses and jokes about how the death camps couldn’t have existed (using terrible “logic” of course). That’s why he was banned from every relevant social media… until Elon unbanned him (hmm)

      Spencer is no less of a Nazi though. He just better understands what you can and can’t say publicly while maintaining the thin veil of plausible deniability. He does all the Nazi saluting and support for a white ethnostate… but usually not right out in public. His public persona is more dogwhistles and coded without directly saying the things all the time.
