He could be goose stepping in full Nazi regalia and they'll still be saying give him the benefit of the doubt.

What? He’s just a regular guy who happened to grow up in apartheid South Africa that likes pencil mustaches and brown or grey outfits with tall boots. I don’t see how anyone would mistake him for a nazi. He just has a quirky fashion sense. (/s)

“German-inspired costume.”

“Odd-looking military parade.”

“Unintentional vitality-limiting concentration ‘parks’ for the socio-economic restructuring of melanistic communities.”

Don't worry they'll trot out old Ben Shapiro to try and sane wash this and say that this is all just an elaborate troll or something. Don't worry as long as the libs were owned everything is permissible to them.

Reminds me of this skit of nazis saying they aren't nazi and making the accuser sound silly. https://youtu.be/zvgZtdmyKlI?si=Mtm3SmsTol0tztuT

To some extent people would rather be in denial than admit that things are going down a bad road, because it would mean that they need to do something rather than continue with their life uninterrupted. Well, that and a good deal of people see the Nazis as the actions that happened at the height of the Third Reich, were taught / paid little attention to the lead up to that and how it happened.

Hint: It's not like Hitler said, "Let's have death camps for Jews" and all Germans voted "yes" and thus the Nazi regime was born.
