    To turn the state blue, yippee.

    To give the guy a pass by because he was supposedly out drinking with his fellow Marines and supposedly accidentally got a Nazi tattoo? Maybe. I’d hate to be in an accidentally do something offensive competition with a random drunken American enlisted. I think I read that he is Jewish, so bonus points to the story, I guess.

    His Reddit history has been made out to make him a bit of a chud.

      God I hate when I drink too much and wind up getting a well recognized symbol of hate and fascism permanently marked on my body. A symbol that’s so well recognized that you typically have to seek out specific artists who are even willing to create it and who would be unlikely to find by stumbling into a random tattoo parlor.

      New England liberals are some of the most racist sexist people you will ever meet. they’ll proudly make fun of a southerner as soon as they meet them assuming they’re racist, and then turn around and make comments about a Black woman’s skin tone. they’re frustrating self congratulatory people.

      All of this said i don’t know any of the specifics about Graham Platner’s problematic past since i don’t live in Maine, don’t vote in Maine, none of the news sources i follow are talking about him, and none of the on the ground leftists are talking about him. it’s only the propaganda outlets and a certain kind of chronically online person who’s really thinking about him. my wife and i have taken a strict “if someone’s asking us about Graham Platner, it’s time to go for a walk” policy.

      i’m going for a walk
