And yet, somehow, I have avoided it. Curious.
You're neo-nazi!
lol, nice.
Perhaps, but the people I'm referring to actually promote the idea that Jews deserve to be killed for being Jews.
Is it? Hasn't been a problem for me.
That's because you're not in the "basket of deplorables"
That would seem to be a very easy place to avoid.
How? One's political views are largely an expression of innate personality traits. And, as we have seen, the basket of deplorable includes anyone who is not explicitly left wing.
"the basket of deplorable includes anyone who is not explicitly left wing."

Nah. It tends to include neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, sexists, white supremacists, kiddy diddlers, and the like. It's not a particularly difficult group to not be a part of.

No. It includes anyone who is opposes left wing ideas and is effective.
It's not really a problem if none cares who you are.
Speaking from personal experience?
That's because the Overton Window have shifted to the right so much.
There are a lot of neonazis around these days...
Yeah, you don't have to be an actual neonazi, just be friends with and support them and their views.
I was accused of white-supremacism for questioning the mask.

I think that illustrates the way these things work pretty clearly.

being labelled neonazi is about as easy as being labelled "libtard". The very left oriented people often have a strong sense of moral superiority, and will directly accuse anyone who does not agree of being a neonazi. in general i would say though, when you are pointing with one finger, 4 are pointing back at yourself (and by this I dont mean you, its an expression)
Except that when you're marching with swastikas, and displaying nazi signs and slogans, it's kind of difficult to claim you're not a nazi. But you keep right on assuming you have a moral position.
