Everyone is laughing about these comments and what an idiot Milo is. What I notice is @simonschuster putting in A LOT of work to try to make an unabashed neo-Nazi’s ideas presentable to a wider audience. teapawt.net/sarahmei/status/946347…

Normalizing is exactly what these Nazis need. And nothing helps that more than a noncritical article about how normal they are from the @nytimes, which should be fucking ashamed.
