The documentary is a good watch. It is scary to see how the PA members think their views are normal. e.g. saying something along the lines of "everyone thinks this..." after saying something abhorrent.

This is a really good article for anyone thinking of reading it. I don't think I could do this. It would just be hard to keep up the charade and show enthusiasm at all. It weirded me out just reading about it. I can just imagine being someone there camping and seeing this group.

That's the actual far right. Not just people who voted Trump. Hopefully lemmy can see the difference

Nazi apologia. Wonder who is deluded here.

These same people vote for trump and they would support Reform, to them Musk doing the nazi salute is a signal that it's their time to take the stage.

I often wonder when choosing between evil and stupid if stupid might be the worse option.

They's a leopard just waiting to eat your face, they way you delude yourself.
