Combined with the tattoo thing, this really speaks to him having been really deeply associated with hate for a long time.

He's still doing extremely well in the polls. I don't think Mainers give a shit about this. They clearly like Platner, a lot.

    Because everyone fucking makes mistakes and some people take that as an opportunity to grow. He talks like us, looks like us, came from the same place as a lot of us. He isn't pretending to be something he isn't like seemingly most other politicians. He's using Trump's "not a politician" schtick from the left.
