Well, folks, our blubbering baby nazi wannabe finally made national news.
That should just about finish his tuff man image.
but did you know he had runner-ups?
Take Millennial Matt, whose catchphrase Hitler did nothing wrong! earned him tens of thousands of fans before he went to the rally, but his Twitter account has since been deleted, his real identity publicized, and he is now begging fans for money to flee his hometown because my life is in shambles.
There are plenty of other examples, from the hot dog restaurant cook who lost his job to students whose universities publicly renounced racism after they went to the march. Theres even a Twitter feed devoted to shaming the tiki-torch-lit faces of white nationalism.
But none of the marchers soared so high or crashed so hard as Chris Cantwell, who became the ivory-skinned, gun-toting star of a documentary about Charlottesville that aired Monday on HBO and a week later is better known as the weepy white supremacist or weeping Nazi who got banned from OkCupid.
Thanks for so many laughs, Chris.

I am really really happy about all the pushback this week. The country is demonstrating INSTANT
willingness to literally stand up to these losers.

Pretty damn amazing.

The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)Another right winger who made his own bed and now blubbers that he has to lie in it. These asses insist they are all about personal responsibility. HA. They always blame someone else for their own messes. He's a fascist scumbag, and THE MEDIA had nothing to do with that. He needs to own his failure.

Always with the calls for purity from the purely confused.
I hope and trust that his troubles are just beginning. He needs serious intervention.
Serious.

If was a nicer guy, this could not have happened to him; but, he decided to be a racist, anti-Semitic asshole instead.

Funny, the shit has been REAL for people of color ever since the first African slave landed here in chains.
We have GOT to come together and have a racial reconciliation. We white people can't be in denial about slavery, racism or white privilege, and it's going to take a hell of a lot of work to build trust with POC. But we've got to try, because it is OUR land - yours as much as mine. Only together can we make that real - yes it will be painful, but it's a hell of a lot better than living in some divisive fantasy world.
