Leave it to Pal-Anon to see that David Duke supports their cause and start rationalizing how he’s actually wise rather than snapping to the fact that they share the same views as the f**king GRAND DRAGON OF THE KKK.

This is a great thread. The US is now pushing putin’s goal of weakening Europe by dividing it. It’s also very white nationalist, fear based. Typical of politics now, it’s all about how the US is fine, but other western states are soon to be “destroyed” by their own policies. 🙄
