To be clear, it was we played the Candace is a fucking Nazi stooge who doesn’t get how history or her actions work to enable and condone right wing extremists. Or that she thought Hitler was a good guy who went overboard by invading Germany’s neighbors. https://t.co/6jnc3a0cSX

But yeah, please do go on about how you’re the victim in all this or that you’re going to sue people for defamation or other bulkshit when your statements are available for all to see as a public figure (higher standard applies).

She’s not the only one engaging in stochastic terrorism - Trump takes an oversized amount of the blame for that. Why? Because he’s done more to normalize white nationalism, white supremacy, and the far right xenophobic agenda than any other major public figure in the world.

Other right wing extremists are keying off him. And he’s already equated goddamned Nazis with the people protesting them. He equated the Nazi who murdered Heather Heyer with the people who were protesting those Nazis.

Trump repeatedly demonizes Muslims and repeats anti Semitic tropes. This works its way into the right wing lexicon and Fox spreads it, as does all the lower levels of the right wing ecosphere online. This is no accident.

These are purposeful decisions to demonize minorities and nonwhites (and women).

The consequences are deadly - as we again witness in Christchurch, where at least 49 Muslims were murdered by right wing terrorists who singled out 2 mosques to carry out their manifesto - and livestreamed for all to see.
