No matter what you post I can match it in the United States lol

There is a significant contingent of neo-nazis that were part of Trump's base, that he called "very fine people", and who were exceptionally active under his presidency and who elected Q conspirators to federal Republican seats.

both are shitty, don't get me wrong, but our house is not nearly as clean as you want to make it out to be.

This is factually incorrect. The transcript clearly shows that Trump differentiated between neo-nazis, whom he condemned, and other protesters.

i know for a fact that if merkel had rejected a judge based on the colour of their skin or their heritage, she would have been forced to resign immediately.

if ANY candidate for higher office engaged in blatantly racist and baseless speculations about the legitimacy / eligibility of another candidate, just based on their skin colour, insisting to see their birth certificate, they would certainly be pulled by their own party, and definitely not be elected.

i know that if neo-nazis had protested in favour of wehrmacht monuments and killed a counter-protester, a chancellor who claimed there were good people 'on both sides' would have been a goner the next day. same for someone who'd tell a far-right militia group to 'stand by'.

a head of state claiming that a movement for racial justice is a terrorist organisation, while denying the actual threat of right wing domestic terrorism (which is indeed a thing here in germany as well), is also something that is unthinkable to the vast majority of germans.


any attempt to suggest that racism and bigotry, white supremacy and nazis are a LARGER problem in today's germany than in the US, is clearly deluded and ignorant. again, that does not mean it's not a (growing) problem here, it clearly is - but luckily a majority of germans are smarter than american right wingers, and oppose such scum, rather than trying to downplay their prevalence and danger, making silly whataboutisms, deflections, and other excuses...

I've posted the full story here literally dozens of times now.

The remarks you are referencing were after he refused to make a distinction, walked off stage when asked by reporters to make the distinction, was called out by his own party for several days including by Rubio and Gardner, and then made a distinction in his next speech only to roll it back a few lines later in the same speech

I'm not surprised to see you still repeating years old propaganda that I've debunked to at least a dozen users now.

You quoted the president as calling neo-nazis "very fine people". It is clear from the transcript that that is emphatically not what the president said.

If you meant to make some other claim, e.g. that the president did not respond quickly enough, or that he was giving mixed messages, you were of course free to make it. But you chose instead to repeat a debunked conspiracy theory.
