    Your mirror has a nice trim around it.

    And your arguments can be countered by many who have widely different viewpoints than yours. Fair enough.

    Perhaps. I have yet to see any of those counters which hold water.

    he seems to think different "viewpoints" means that we're supposed to respect someone who has access to alternative facts.

    Has ABM asked himself why Nazis love the people he votes for?
    Forget for a moment whether DeSantis said nazis are bad or not (he really didn't).

    How many Nazis paraded for Elizabeth Warren? Bernie Sanders? Joe Biden? Liz Cheney? John McCain? Barack Obama?
    If any did, those patriots would have reminded them this country fought a war against assholes like them.

    That was posted earlier.
    Priority number 1, denouncing them being on the overpass. No quote about denouncing nazis though.

    His press secretary is quoted saying he always condemns Nazis.

    If he was always condemning them, I'd imagine there's a direct quote from him?

    Isn’t his press secretary supposed to represent his views?

    Correct. Yet we can't find one quote to substantiate that claim...

    Nazis are claiming to be his friends and he isn't denying that.

    I don't gauge a person based on what other people say about them.

    Yeah, he's not going to say it. He can't denounce his own supporters. These sort of "denouncements" by press secretaries and such are faux condemnations. His supporters take it as he doesn't really mean it. It's just for him to point to when the left says he hasn't denounced them.

    He gave a direct quote about them illegally being on the overpass. And yet had to have his press secretary say he always condemns them. No direct condemning nazi quotes you can find?

    DeSantis, Trump, any of these sleazebags will never bite the hand that feeds them, ever. Whether it's Klan members or Nazis or people begging for a King to worship...they'll smile at them all and hold their babies! The Republican Party is not only anti Democrat...it's anti democracy. We are watching fascists and racists grab power all throughout the south by spreading fear about gays, minorities and liberals....fuck the Republican party....it no longer represents American democracy or equality. The local propaganda troll here doesn't care about any truth, just killing off democracy and empowering privileged wealthy conservatives at the expense of people of color or people who believe in an equal playing field. Greedy fucking traitors who lie to win....the current GOP profile. Love is unconditional trust....try finding a spoonful of that anywhere in the GOP today....it's non existant.

    This about sums it up. And these same people call themselves "patriots". They are on the verge of turning our great nation into nazi fucking Germany.

    It's not so much that he's a Nazi as it is that Nazis love him. Why is that?

    Publicly and personally denouncing Nazis would be one less strike against him in the eyes of good people.

    Publicly and personally denouncing Nazis would be a strike against him in the eyes of bigots, racists, and Nazis.

    He has thus far refused to publicly and personally denounce Nazis.
