You know who else is "fake"? The guy in a klan hood. Definitely not a real Trump supporter. /s

I think this was a YouTuber that was pointing out that the klan endorsed Trump to its members. I got a trumpet sending me this as a "gotcha" attempt when I said this was easily believable.. but I doubted that real klan members would open carry sort to speak.

The point is still.. the klan endorses trump.

They have to insist that it's fake otherwise they'd have to acknowledge that they're on the same side as the Nazis.

It's been said that not every Trump Supporter is a Nazi, but every Nazi is a Trump Supporter. I couldn't find sources for the first part though.

I’m sorry though, at this point if you are still for Trump, I immediately assume you’re a nazi, racist or misogynist.

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Oddly enough a lot of those happen to fit every one of them.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yeah, it's pretty interesting. The Nazis, the KKK, and the Russians support him but "that picture is FAKE", or "the flags are photoshopped" or whatever their pathetic excuse is. Dude's a real-life supervillain.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know about the "super" part.

[–] littletranspunk@lemmus.org 2 points 1 month ago

Im with you, he lacks presentation (megamind reference)

"Get karma"

WTF are they even talking about? By all accounts nothing happened to them and they were even cheered on by the trump crowd.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

I assumed they meant positive karma from the fellow conservatives.

It refers to being splashed with water, it's explained in the article...

I miss when america killed nazis instead of electing them

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Well it's mostly been kinda both for a while hasn't it? I wonder how my dad's dad would feel about Trump, though. Never got to meet him but he was a POW in the Bataan Death March

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

When people claim this - I basically say - "Fine, let's pretend for a second that these people don't support Nazis. The Nazis sure think that they're on the same side. And they aren't exactly being removed"

Then the reply is almost always something about "Freeze Peach", and I say "Well, they removed guns from the event, since it's a private event didn't they?"

Great use of quotes there, r/conservative person.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

Okay, prove it. Ask them to leave your rally

lol Daily Mail

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

There is a whole cottage industry for selling reactionary apologetics to people who want to pretend that they're not fascists.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

There are funding sources from outside the U.S. for stuff. But this probably isn't that.
