    I think he actually acknowledged that fact in later comments. Anyway, this is a far smaller sin than all the stuff people are creatively accusing him of.

    Apparently now he is a Nazi, and I think this case was the last nail in the coffin for me to think that political discourse can exist.

      If it helps, most people don’t follow politics at all. And their votes are based on very little knowledge of what they are voting for.

      I’m still a believer that if you put people in a room together instead of online, you’d get both sides of the aisle agreeing on 95% of things, once each side had a chance to explain their viewpoint (and made sure google was available to settle most disputes).
