To give people in other countries context, this guy is basically running in a state that has a zero chance to elect a Republican and essentially allows anyone (with money) to run in their Republican primary. This guy isn't even close to frontrunner of a party that won't win, so don't take him as a serious candidate.

Basically he's just a racist trying to get clout with... racists, I guess.

This shit is serious, though. He's normalizing literal Nazism with concentration camps and genocide, big time.

Tbh this alone should get you jail time, as far as I'm concerned.

I mean, free speech but at some point it's a call for violence and would be illegal, if our administration didn't agree with it.

Also, free speech in the US doesn't mean that there are no consequences for whatever your say, it's only that you can't be censored before you say it.

so don't take him as a serious candidate.

Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember people saying that about a certain psychopathic rapist back in 2016, and look where that got us.

Actually, so was Ronald Reagan. But in 2026? Oh man does the R look bad these days.
