    I’m Mexican. I shit you not, I’ve seen a very brown Nazi sporting a bright red t-shirt with a black swaztika and a shit-eating grin while strutting downtown in Guadalajara. I’ve never wanted to kick someone in the teeth so bad in my life.

      We will need a variant of the Darwin Awards for that sort of person. Minorities collaborating with Nazis is a truly special kind of stupid.

      There are a few random internet people who just live in my head for no reason. Back in like 2016 there was a guy on reddit who would sign all his posts with: Latinos for Trump. I was like: all right, this is the most blatant russian AstroTurf i have ever seen. And i did for the first time ever look through his comment history. Mainly to feel smart, there was nothing I could do with that information. I went back so far, and it was apparently just an average, seemingly nice latino dude who was super into trump. And i never really figured it out why.
