That was… 'If you’re a tired Trumpist bigot/incel dreaming of your day, then Ron DeSantis is your man."
OH I saw the video. This was no mistake. Nazis work for DeSantis.
I wonder if it is the same company that does/did police videos who used the sonnenrad as a logo in the credits.
Neither the campaign nor its surrogates have it on their feeds, though, and the account most critics linked to is a nobody with a few hundred followers on 𝕏, an obscure right-wing social media platform
is this the formerly known as twitter? or is there another thing? regardless… chef’s kiss
No “allegedly” about it. According to the article one of his campaign staffers re-tweeted the video. Which is to be completely expected from someone volunteering to work for a fascist candidate.
Waiting for DeSantis to start talking about his jobs plan as “work sets you free.”
On another note…how DARE they use Running Up That Hill for that tired-ass incel shitlord fascist fapping fantasy? Just no.

alt-right’s defacto online aesthetic
Oooh a mysterious @OBJ sighting!
Is your preferred right wing fascist candidate possibly headed to prison soon? Give this other flavor a try!
So someone made an attack video of DeSantis, explicitly pointing out he’s a fascist, and one or more people in DeSantis’s campaign saw the video and thought, “Cool, this person gets it!”?
What’s that about Poe’s law again?
It’s a e s t h e t i c.
Knowing the DeSantis campaign I’m guessing they were more bothered by the unlicensed music than the Nazi iconography.
More than any of that, they regretted that the staffer got caught. That’s the cardinal sin of modern American conservatism.
“It would be easy to understand this development as simply more campaign dysfunction, perhaps poor vetting, or even a symptom of the campaign being “too online.” It is better understood as the result of a fundamental strategic decision by DeSantis to actively court the far right.”
