I didn’t say anything about Biden dude. I’m perfectly capable of thinking they’re both problematic. As I said the fact that actual white supremacists, not from the media via their own boards, believe Trump is there guy tells you all you need to know.

I disagree with this rationale. If the white supremacists also all listen to Nickelback, would that tell you everything you need to know about Nickelback? Maybe it would, but as a discerning person I would want to know more than just "We like Nickelback and we hate <random_genealogy> people" before I assumed that Nickelback was mascotting for that group.

And when flat-earthers look at the earth and deduce it is flat does that tell you all you need to know about the earth?

I don't think the earth is actually courting flat-earthers. Trump is doing that, and more. He's legitimizing white supremacists.

Yes you did not. I am not saying you did. But I made an observation on how Biden was given a free pass when he literally not just passed racist statements but passed bills that incarcerated tens of thousands of Black Americans and destroyed families. Providing a counter-balance to the biased narrative is important in this day and age. Media is completely biased. So is Big Tech with its censorship. When all streams of information are openly supporting one side it becomes even more important to speak out the Truth. I wouldn't have cared much if the media was evenly balanced. If it had taken both candidates to task. Had held both accountable. But the media has completely lost credibility. Even if I'll end up being disliked and downvoted for it so be it! But if I feel something is wrong I'll say it. No matter what people think.

This is truly ridiculous to be honest with you. I am a brown guy. Does my view count or only what white supremacists say count for you?
