So arguing online that “SS” lightning-bolt tattoos were a “culture” marker within Marine Scout Sniper units, not an expression of White supremacist ideology.
Means he support Nazi’s?
Sure maybe it shows that he was told earlier what it means but it by no means proves or is evidence that he knew what it was when he got the tattoo, just that it was a standard thing that many Marines got.
I also had an online handle for years which has the number 88 in it way before I found out that it was a hidden dog whistle for Nazi’s. I guess I was a Nazi when I was 8 years old.
In the very best reading he’s an idiot who KNEW the association and lied to save his face.
That’s STILL disqualifying. He’s to dumb to be elected.
Unfortunately it’s now a “lesser evil” issue and a Republican would be worse, BUT YOU HAD A CHANCE TO HAVE NO EVIL as a choice and now you picked the guy that’s the easiest possible target for propaganda from the Republicans
Lol! You know where I first encountered that symbol, growing up? On the bottom of nearly every skateboard deck I ever owned. Same thing with the Iron Cross. It wasn’t until senior year in highschool that I learned both those symbols were also used by the Nazis.
In most places in the US you aren’t going to learn that, unless you’re already into WW2 history. To the vast majority of people, the only symbol that they recognize as a genuine Nazi symbol, is the swastika.
If he had that tattooed on his chest, I’d take these accusations seriously. But a skull-and-crossbones? No. That’s more of an unfortunate mistake, born out of a shitty education system.
Because the National Republican Senatorial Committee has a quote where he talked about a symbol that wasn’t his tattoo? Fuck, you’re grasping at straws here
