    True, I can forgive westerners for not recognizing these symbols for what they are, our education is a joke. I support him above any Republican who are essentially open fascists, I just don’t believe he is as authentic he says. It’s been shown he knew what it was long before he covered it up as well.

    He might turn out to be an amazing senator and an actual progressive, I have just seen white men with this style for decades, and it’s like a black widow or a grizzly bear telling you they are changed and won’t cause any harm. Actions speak louder than words and the only actions definitively attributable to him is shooting and bombing people and a mild “sex scandal”.

    Does he have a history of union organizing, charitable work or anything like that? I’m not automatically assuming he will be terrible, I do believe people can change, even if he was literally an avowed nazi. I just think it’s important people temper their expectations.

      I’d like to see the evidence for this.
