Republicans struggling with bigotry among younger conservatives: ‘We don’t think Hitler is, like, the worst person ever’

Maybe. I think most of the people leading the “manosphere” are psychopathic grifters who have no problem preying on vulnerable and impressionable children to make a buck. If there’s one thing I’ve seen with the followers of this scam is they’re deeply insecure and they’ve latched onto hyper masculine role models who often openly have slurs and racist ideas wrapped up in their routines. The fact that the GOP co-opted this awful trend and that there’s been talk of foreign influence campaigns swirling in the soup makes it even worse. At the end of the day, I think a lot of these young republicans and “manosphere” followers always had some right wing tendencies, but social media got its hooks into the children in the formative years and has deeply damaged these kids. It’s hard for them to see where the influence campaign stops and real life begins.

You know Hitler was the guy that killed Hitler right? Do I really need to explain the joke?
