Or it’s already happened, and the video was just a glimpse at the Wizard behind the curtain.

Yeah, there are many problems with Manchin but much better to have a DINO than another Republican West Virginian Senator like Capito, who voted with her party 96% of the time and helped Trump put all his judges into office.
It’s always theoretically possible to elect a more liberal Senator to W.V., but the polls show that that’s a more likely outcome in almost any other “red” state, including Texas. Trump won almost 69% of the vote in W.V. in 2020.

I’m so used to Republicans using dog whistles to court the fascists that when I see videos that just outright say, “DeSantis is a fascist who will use military might to murder you,” I can’t help but read it as an attack on him. Even though now it’s not.

That’s what the piece I quoted goes on to say. The appeal to Nazis was a bit too obvious, and it spoiled a more subtle outreach campaign.
It is certainly a relief to learn that DeSantis does not want his staffers to be creating official campaign videos with white supremacist imagery. Still, Hochman’s error here was not in the overall thrust of his project. He walked a very careful line of building bridges between the white nationalist right and the DeSantis campaign, and only fell off when the hidden message was sent a little too visibly.
