    I don’t think I’ll ever understand how non-white people end up involved in a white supremacist movement in any capacity, much less in leadership positions. What exactly is your end game here my man?

      From his Wikipedia page (the first sentence is the relevant part but the rest is so funny I had to include it):

      According to himself, Fuentes is of Mexican descent via his paternal ancestors and is Catholic.[27][28]

      Fuentes identifies as an incel (or “involuntary celibate”), although some of his supporters have criticized him for being a “voluntary celibate” after he admitted that he kissed a girl while he was in high school.[14][29] He has described himself as the “straightest guy” and attempted to defend himself as an incel by claiming that “the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel”, as “having sex with women is gay … What’s gayer than being like, ‘I need cuddles. I need kisses … I need to spend time with a woman.’”[30][31][32]

        If an HBO dark sitcom had a character that’s exactly like Nick Fuentes, audiences would complain that he’s too much of an over the top parody to be a believable character.

        having sex with women is gay

        I don’t understand why someone who is gay would align themselves with people who hate gay people so much, and go through these Olympic level mental gymnastics. You could just… Not be a part of the group that hates you, and be a part of a group that doesn’t care if you’re gay.

      It’s crazy…my sister in laws family literally snuck in from juarez Mexico in the 80s. They are now legal, and she was born here.

      All of the older family are hardcore Trumpers, are not wealthy, and have family in Juarez still. They are all very pro border security. It’s insane how delusional they are. They literally bad mouth illegal immigrants and even migrants. “Took our jerbs”

      Luckily SIL is not like them.
