Facepalm

No sir. I’m not seeing that with “Nazi Flag at Trump Rally”

I misspoke on this part. I was thinking of the confederate flags being pared with trump flags/rallies.

CPAC isn’t even on the radar of the average voter.

I don't think that particularly matters. If your party's political ideology aligns well enough with neo nazis for them to have a seat at the table, you have a neo-nazi party. Just because they're subtle about it doesn't make the supporters innocent.

They’re engaged with it in a fearful way because that’s how Fox News gave it to them.

That's the main mechanism of fascism. They can be unaware of it all they like, they're still supporting fascism. You're still hillbilly trash so to speak.

This is a third of our country. Alienating them plays into the hand of extremists.

Yeah, it's a third of our country. And ignoring how they're flirting with fascism also plays into the hands of the extremists. There is no winning in a situation like this. And so I'd rather be honest given that it's a no win situation.

If playing nice with fascists/fascist supporters was a viable strategy, we wouldn't be arguing about this.
