I'm watching literal Nazis register to run as Democrats because they want to either (a) trick people not paying attention (b) take advantage of the good natured people believing you can change and that's why we're here now.
Richard Hanania is a gutter racist and vile Nazi. He's not going to fight the destruction of our pluralistic society, social support systems, arts, and sciences; those are his goals.
He's an enemy who wishes Trump's reign was going better and is looking for an exit.
Do not allow him in the tent.
