Could I offer an alternative viewpoint? I don't know if it's true, and if it is I don't know if it's better or worse. His style of 'music' holds no interest for me, and I know nothing more than what I have read about him, so I could be wildly off base.
As many have pointed out, he might well have a mental health issue, but is it not also possible that he is, and always has been, just totally amoral and has seen which way the wind is blowing? He seems to have sonewhat list relevance recently, and fixating on, and loudly proclaiming your hatred of, a chosen 'other' group may seem like a good way to get back into the centre of attention and curry favour with those in power.
I don't think that would be any better than him being a dyed-in-the-wool Nazi, as functionally it means he is one, but might explain a rapid appearance his Nazism.
He's been doing this Hitler thing for years now and do not use his bipolar disorder as an excuse for Nazism. It's no better than people using Elon's (self-diagnosed) autism for the Hitler salute.
Being bipolar is not the same as not knowing right from wrong.
Yeah, I don't think he gets a pass by blaming his behaviour on mental health issues, but a lot of people bring it up. I watch people like him, and I'm fairly convinced they don't have the principals to actually, deep down, be Nazis, they're too vain, too self-centred and too desperate for power of any sort. That doesn't mean they won't fly that particular flag if they think it'll bring them what they want, or that they wont cheer on the harm it brings to others if they think it gets them closer to power. Functionally, you can treat them as Nazis, traitors and whatever else they align themselves with. With luck they will reap the consequences of that.
