Nazi, war criminal, merc, cmon theres so many red flag.
Like at least I can see the rationale behind why people would support zohran, but why the fuck would you want "progressive movement" to be represented by a guy who thinks nazi tattoos are cool is beyond me.
Mainely he shucked oysters, wore flannel, and a beard like the Mouth of Sauron's teeth.
the way people fell over themselves making excuses for that shit and believing he didn't know it was, what, the number 3 nazi symbol? swastika, ss bolts, totenkopf? completely ridiculous
But but but
rallied people around him!
Like, not knowing about it when you have had nothing to do with it is one thing. American education legitimately sucks, I get it. Not knowing about it when it has been tattooed on your chest for the better part of two decades, though? Come on now. Even if that were true (it is not, he absolutely fucking knew) it should be disqualifying because you shouldn't want to put someone in a position of power who is so incurious that they wore a Nazi symbol on their chest for nearly 20 years without ever looking into it!
Not just a position of power, but a ‘progressive’ who’s going to take on both the democrats and the republicans without getting sidelined, co-opted, or paid off. If he were genuinely that clueless, we could expect him to be a talked into staunch zionism his first week in office, and then a year after his term ended, say he just found out that that meant supporting isreal.
Initially I MAYBE could have bought the idea that he thought it was a "pirate skull and bones", but the more I learned about the guy the more that line went out the window.
