Can I ask a simple quetion here?

How can it be difficult for any politician, anywhere in the United States to condemn Nazis?

WTF. Every good movie for 4 generations has Nazis as the villains. Casablanca, Sound of Music, Shindler's list, Cabaret, Raider's of the Lost Arc. And none of these are really war movies.

How fucking hard can it be to condemn American Nazis within miles of Arlington National Cemetery, which is the final resting place of thousands of brave American service men and women who gave their lives fighting fascism?

Does Donald Trump even have a soul or a brain?

"American Nazis" not "German Nazis" from 65+ years ago.

These ones raise a stiff arm and flat pointed hand and shout "Heil Trump!"

for decades; they are the lowest of low-hanging fruit if you're looking for an example of absolute evil. Condemning Nazis should be a total no-brainer, so why is it so hard for Trump? You don't even have to be smart to figure out how to do that.

The only people in the world Trump won't criticize are Nazis and other white supremacists, and Vladimir Putin. He's said far worse things about his own Attorney General, his party's Senate Majority Leader and the former head of the FBI, not to mention Miss Universe, Rosie O'Donnell, Megyn Kelly and Mika Brzezinski.

That boy ain't right.

10. Apparently some of these high profile Nazis get their funding from Russia. Get it now?

Researched Twitter thread linking resourced mainstream articles showing ties of various aspects of American far right back to Russian money or Russian influence, including to Alexandr Dugin (Putin's brain).
