I... I love this.

I think most Americans (as one of them) forget that the “Founding Fathers” were all self-interested, tax-evading assholes that didn’t care one lick about actual freedom for people outside of the elite.

Yeah, I’m not convinced that he would know the association, or that he’s even involved with the campaign at this level, but it’s telling that Nazis seem to flock to his campaign and administration, and that’s on him.
