I'm not sure it's so cut and dry that he's resilient to political games.

I follow right wing groups to understand the cognitive structure they use to understand the world and new events, and they're currently comparing him to Josef Mengele.

Well, let me qualify my remarks to limit to those people whose opinions are worthy of respect, and can hold sway over other reasonable people.

I don't know what the opinions of these groups are that you mention, but in this case they sound fringe to the point of being ridiculous. I hope. I really hope.

Btw, is there somewhere (non-gross) to read about such theories being circulated? Maybe my deeper interest is, what does someone's life have to be like to be receptive to these kinds of ideas? And how do we fix it?

This is very depressing.
How right wing, we talking dailystormer?
They might actually like Mengele there.
They’d still happily wield him as a rhetorical cudgel, probably, though.
Are these groups active in the QAnon LARP?
