As the control of the Senate hangs in the balance, GOP candidates across the country are facing a similar problem: Troubling and bizarre past statements, both in-person and on social media, are coming back to haunt them. But in Minnesota, Royce White is an even more extreme case.

    Good old GOP, still sending their best.

    In one specific interaction from Monday, White told a potential voter to “pull their skirt down” and that “nobody cares about your preferences,” to which the voter replied “f— you then! You just lost my families support.”

    Oh yeah, Hitler loved mixed race citizens 😆🤣👍

    This dude’s relatives would have been gassed and cremated or introduced into a life of indentured servitude had his revisionist fantasy come to fruition.

    Dude thinks because his last name is “White” that he is white.

    “The bad guys won in WWII. There were no ‘good guys’ in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces.”

    Just another demented MAGA turd trying to sound intelligent. All the buzzwords are there to keep the base frothing at the mouth: liberal, controlling interest/deep state, bad, communism.

      “both sides” too

      E.g.:

      Being genocidal racist fascists

      Or…

      Wanting affordable healthcare for all Americans and therefore being “communist”

      How does one choose between such evils?

        It’s a fucking Nazi coward afraid to speak their true feelings. They say both sides, pretending they feel both were bad, but you can see their real opinion.

      If you look closely

      Holy fuck that is funny. As though an analysis of factual information were even in the realm of speculative potential for the republican brain.

      He’s clever. It’s a great joke.

    To a degree yeah, bunch of them made it to US and went unpunished and now spew this shit.
    (edit: or obviously whoever heard them and thought “Hmm yes yes genocide and stuff great ideas dad/grandad/friend/whatever.” Probably can’t even specify if it’s the Nazis or Russians since they would have rather worked together, until the backstab…

    Not even worth putting the time into writing why his opinion is based on imagined idiocy and not historic fact thinking the liberals and communists were aligned after WW2 at the start of the cold war and the Warsaw pact and NATO squaring off or Patton was assassinated, just a grand display of the best and brightest moron Minnesota conservatives have to offer.

    Sure, there are no good guys in any war, since the good guys are never the ones with guns killing each other.

    But the more genocidal death camps you have, the bigger a baddy you are. It’s not that difficult to understand.

        I’m Jewish, I’m very aware that the side running brutal racist internment camps was meaningfully less bad than the side running brutal genocidal death camps. Neither qualify as good.

          The Axis existed as a coalition of countries who wanted to expand their lands at the cost of their neighbor’s lives.

          The Allies existed purely as a defensive response to the Axis.

          A person with a gun fighting to defend their families is not “just as evil” as a person with a gun invading the home of others. Before we even get into camps, unethical medical research, and genocide, you really can’t “both sides” this one.

            I don’t think it’s fair to characterize global colonialist powers like Britain, France, or the US as not violent expansionists.

              Don’t put words in my mouth.

              I characterized the Allies actions as a defensive response. And they provably were not violently expanding during WW2. I didn’t say a word about their actions and behaviors prior to WW2.

              The fuck do you suggest “good people” do facing invasion? Lay down and let the Axis steal, rape, murder, and genocide their way through Europe?

              Good people fight back against bad people. Saying or doing anything less is to be complicit in their actions.

                Apologies.

                But if being a violent expansionist makes the axis bad (which it obviously does) then the allies are clearly just less bad in this particular situation rather than actually good, since all the allied powers have extensive histories of violent expansionism.

    we need a time machine if for no other reason than to send dumbasses like that back to experience reality for themselves
