Ironically he was too stupid to know that people are too stupid to not realize he's actually supporting the Nazis.

i'm legit more curious who actually believes he was being pro-Nazi or who is just pandering with a legitimately stupid talking point

this sounds like one of those "liberal mind reading" moments where they use their magical abilities to know it's stupid and nobody is really offended, but getting a scalp on the wall matters more than honesty or displaying intelligence levels above potato

I'm going to guess not an insignificant number.

Unless one knows about his ongoing criticisms with Media Matters, and realized the MMF referred to them and/or that Carusone is with them, then it's not obvious by looking at the tweets up until he clarified that he was actually doing it to mock.

He was fine when he was just outright calling them fascists, but when you make a tweet like that, he should how asked himself:

1. Will people probably think this is support for the Nazis?

2. Will a person with no background knowledge be able to get enough context right away to see that it's facetious?
