    You haven't met the Canadian MAGAs who demanded first amendment rights in front of a Canadian Judge?

    I thought our magats were dumb, but yours are on a whole other level. I managed to find an article that mentions this issue of Canadians thinking they have first amendment rights. You have to scroll way down for the goods:

    "Honestly? I thought it was a peaceful protest and based on my first amendment, I thought that was part of our rights," he told the court.

    "What do you mean, first amendment? What's that?" Judge Julie Bourgeois asked him.

    Wow, just wow.

    oh yeah we got tons of those

    there's one guy I used to know from school that I still have on Facebook that has been posting increasingly right-wing stuff over the past year or so. it was kind of hard to figure out where exactly he stood, and like I did consider him a fairly rational guy even though he was a little too eager in general (meaning he'd sometimes jump to conclusions or miss investigating something).

    but this event has made it very clear where he stands. he's a nazi.

    he doesn't present as one. he doesn't say overtly nazi things. but he supports nazis and thinks that only Good did anything bad here, and thus he supports nazis and thus he is a nazi
