    I feel like the rest of the quote provides a bit of context:

    The bad guys won in WWII. There were no ‘good guys’ in that war.

    Not sure that I would call the US which was still practicing eugenics and had a large portion of the country under Jim Crow laws. Considering that White is black, I could understand him not seeing the US as good guys. The Soviet Union had a very recent genocide of their own. The UK also had some pretty abhorrent practices in Bangladesh that led to millions of deaths.

    However, in comparison to the fucking Nazis, still going to say there was a more moral side.

      That’s actually not the full quote. The full quote show he was not talking about any of those issues at all. He was concerned with the allies being “liberal” and “communist”

      It dawned on me today… The bad guys won in WWII. There were no “good guys” in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces. Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.

        Oh for fuck’s sake, we’re doing Patton conspiracy theories now!? He died from injuries sustained from smashing his head in a car accident, you weird Nazi!

      I like to say that there was a bad side and an even worse side, so I’m glad the bad side won.

    So we got “I’m a black nazi”, another dude caught doing blackface, and “the bad guys won WWII”

      FYI we’re only doing state and local politics in the USA now, so no reason to connect Minnesota with North Carolina

        He’s running for a US senate seat. This isn’t really “just” a state and local politics; even if non-minnesotans don’t really get a say.

        Personally, I’m glad this asshat is running. we might be able to flip the seat.

            When I talk about “Outstate Rednecks”, West and the governor-candidate guy that ran against Walz last time are the kinds of people I’m talking about. They make it easy to defeat them.

            What’s terrifying though, is that of all the potential candidates for MN governor the GOP put up… Jensen was the least insane. (I mean that literally.)

        When they’re all fascists aligned with the same national fascist party, and saying and doing fascist things, it seems fair to link them.

      …that ended up getting a big number of the other team to start playing for them, instead. To say that’s had knock on effects would be an understatement.
