    the real question is how any of the libs on there could read that comment and not see that

    Internet Nazis have spent decades discussing how to spread their ideas while "hiding their power level." They recognize -- correctly -- that it's easier to persuade people when you avoid heavily politicized terms and don't appear too radical. They've figured out that bringing people to their side is a long pipeline, and that the immediate goal is to move the target just one step closer to them.

    Frankly, it's a communications strategy we could learn a lot from. There's a reason (besides just the feds) that openly-fascist political parties (and openly-Marxist parties, too) stay insignificant while fascism (and socialism) have gained traction in the political mainstream. It's hard to square "most Americans just want to grill" and "most Americans don't vote" with "I can sell Americans on openly-radical politics."
