Matthew Alvarez distanced himself from the violent comments, adding: ""That is not something that I agree with, obviously."

Claims he didn't hear it, then says it'll be taken out of context by the left, yada yada. As if there weren't literal video with him directly saying that's something he can agree with. Who the fuck eats this shit up, and why does it feel like the propagandization of this country is accelerating even more after the shit show of the last presidency?

The last president showed his followers hate is a ok. Before they would just not say it too loudly. It will not stop until our country is lost. I thought they would move the hate to a third party but they seem to be fine with making it harder to vote to keep their power.

These rallies are getting too extreme. Yikes.

Make no mistake, this is not an accident. It's the goal.

Take a hard look at the rhetoric they are using to try and justify there extremist actions against LGBTQ+ people in their states.

Then, go look at the language that was used by Nazi Germany about groups that they then went on to try and wipe out by systematic genocide.

Again, this is not some weird coincidence, or an accident, or a mistake.

It is nothing short of a political party that has decided that the nazis had the right idea, and is very deliberately copying them and their rise to power.

Expect things to get far, far worse.

In some ways its not that surprising that people are being this open about it. But it is a bit worrying.
