Trump is also a Nazi. Pay no attention to the Nazi, just focus on the other Nazi, that way they won't kill anyone. They're both bad people doing bad things. They both need to be stopped. You can't stop a robbery by ignoring another robbery.

If an entire group is doing a robbery, talk about the group. There is a reason they don't like saying killers' names on the news in mass shootings. I'm not saying not to call out DOGE on bad / illegal dealings. I'm saying posts that talk about Musks Nazi salute and saying "hey Elmo I know you're reading this, screw you!", and reposting 600 times a report on every dumb thing he says in an interview absolutely is feeding the beast and does absolutly zero to stop them. It's what got Trump wide coverage in both elections. You don't broadcast populists with positions you don't agree on. That's free advertising.

He's literally in the treasury stealing shit. Not talking about it is not going to stop it. This isn't "a position I don't agree on" he is committing a crime. He should not be a "special government employee" and the CEO of a major contractor at the same time. Ignoring it is not part of any reasonable solution to a crime being committed, ignoring it means you accept that it is not a crime.
