    Called it. Even if you completely ignore the Nazi tattoo, which you shouldn’t. But I am willing to believe a scenario that involves an American ignorant enough of history to unwittingly get a Nazi symbol on their chest.

    However, I didnt for a second think that his walk matched his talk. You aren’t antiwar if you volunteer to go to war, re enlist twice, and then sign up to be a military contractor. You do that because you like violence and are a chud. I was also highly skeptical that someone who grew up going to one of the more expensive private schools in that region of the country, would really know much about class dynamics and socialism.

    This guy was just going to be another Fetterman. A rich kid pretending to be for the worker while being bank rolled by their rich conservative family.

      I am willing to imagine a dumb 20 year old army dong getting one, I am not willing to imagine he kept it for two decades through all that macho crayon eating, nips out with the boys, and never knew what it was. Regardless, your read on him is right. As soon as he got elected, he’d pop off the condom and treat us like his little war-girls.

        With context it’s not believable, but people wouldn’t even engage with other criticism of his history unless you took the whole Nazi tattoo off the table.

        If that had been the only glaring issue with his character it would be damning, but combined with his actual history and him being a nepo “small” business tyrant… I couldn’t see how anyone was willing to extend him the level of trust he gartered. It’s like people haven’t heard of politicians lying for personal gain or something.
