If you look past Facebook, the same person was identified by police handing out fliers linked to GDL.
I am assuming your cockiness is because of those rants about antifa on Facebook where the boat owners address was shown. For one, I am surprised that a person who lives in a place like that could afford that kind of boat.
Something-nazis. Neo or whatever, the swastikas give it away.
Regardless, white supremacy is a common underpinning of trumpisim. Fake boat show or not, there is an established history already. If the slogan "America First" didn't give that away as well, you are actually an idiot.
Edit: Oh yeah, there is the common "let's blame antifa" line. Is that not getting repetitive for you? While I have never personally met anyone in antifa, I do know a bunch of conservative nazis/KKK, personally, from where I grew up. This boating event is not really a surprise to me. Still, it's cute watching you react the way you do.
Let's entertain your claim these guys are in the GDL, did you know the GDL opposes Trump?
According to you GDL members, who dislike Trump, went to the rally pretending to be Trump supporters and flew nazi flags. There's a word for this tatic false flag.
Let's entertain your idea that this was staged. This event would be just a blip on the radar and is still conservative branding, even if your politicians have to deny it when pressed for public statements.
It's still doesn't change that the Republican party coddles white supremacy and their behavior aligns with that ideology. One could say it has been a consistent trend.
So, it's not really a "false flag operation" if that is actually the real nature of the right and far-right. These events just just help "Unite the Right", as it were.
There's just not that many racists around, liberals have to fake most hate crimes to keep the boogie man alive. There's no advantage to courting such a small group at the expense of losing people from so many other groups.
Did you really just use the "It's fake, but it's not really fake, so blame someone else", line? Holy fuck, you're cracked.
Hate crimes have been on a rapid increase since (surprise) 2016, which aligns perfectly with trumpisim giving racists permission to come out of their closet.
Even in this community, rhetoric is amplified with the number of anti-immigration posts during election cycles and anti-muslim posts for filler. That is very on-brand.
No I used reason to show why it makes no sense to court a very small group at the expense of other groups.
A study of hate crimes in 2019 found over 2/3rds of hate crimes have been confirmed to be hoaxes.
It's anti illegal immigration, and immigration reform that benifits the US. What's wrong with that. I have not seen these anti Muslim posts you claim.
You literally launched into a "bUt thE lIbrUls" line.
Lol. "A study." A guy who wrote a book on it disagrees with your 2/3rds number.

You should read Wilfred Reilly's book, and not just an article cherry picking and creating their own stats from his book. He looked at just under 600 reported hate crimes and found over 400 to be hoaxes. Taking the FBI reported number of hate crimes and using the ones he found to be hoaxes from a pool of 600 is bad statistics.
