If this annoys you THIS BADLY I don’t know what to say.

If you know the history of fascist propaganda in the 1930s, this dog whistle will blow your eardrums out.

A wise man once told me “you must choose your battles” and for me, this is one of those times.

There's no battle. It's just another news cycle reiterating what everyone already knows. Trump's a fascist who is steeped in the revanchist mythology of the movement.

If you let every lazy article that misquotes Trump rustle your jimmies like this, it’s going to be wildly unproductive.

If you ignore every instance of Trump playing footsie with European fascists, half his foreign policy becomes a topic you're not allowed to talk about.
