    To come right out and say “hitler was right and good”

    The Magic of Hitler is that you can just slap his face on anyone's shoulders and make them the villains. Conservatives don't need to say "Hitler was Good". They just say "Malcolm X was Hitler" and "Fred Thompson was Hitler" and "Nicholas Maduro is Hitler" and "Jeremy Corbyn is Hitler".

    I'm sure there are pictures of Neely, getting strangled on the subway in front of a crowd of gawkers, with Hitler's face plastered over the top.

    They make it so that you’re the crazy person for pointing out the racism, you’re “woke”, while they wink to the audience that white makes right and we’re securing a future for white babies

    Its smug winks and wry nods, until Daniel Penny gets arreigned. Then you get dudes in white robes throwing rocks through court house windows.

    Like, say what you will about Jan 6th, but it wasn't a subtle display of white nationalism. And that shit's going to keep happening, every time enough conservative media heads decide to prod their audience all at once.
