The very thing I'm doing is not implicitly trusting a man that claims he didn't realize he had a nazi tattoo on his chest for twenty years. A nazi tattoo that he says he got in Croatia and it's a fair assumption that wasn't the only displayed nazi iconography there. And everyone who's seen him shirtless for twenty years to also not have any idea. Like, I'd rather he just admit to having known what it was because otherwise he and his circle have a significant amount of ignorance that's especially relevant when actual nazis are getting elected. I'm not being unreasonable or self destructive here. Until he proves with significant action otherwise, I'm going to assume he's the kinda guy that would get a nazi tattoo, because he did. Army bullshit is still a bullshit excuse. I'm giving him all the grace he deserves, which is enough for him to win the primary innit? But talk is cheap from anyone, especially someone who had a death's head on their tit for twenty years and still claims to not know what it was. So when he gets elected and starts backing up his words, he'll get the credit that's absolutely due. Sure people can change, but the burden of proof to show with actions consistently that they have changed is on them.
