That's odd, considering that there's a clear distinction between thinking one race should be treated as better or worse than anyone else and thinking that everyone should be treated equally. The former is a sign of white supremacy... or the regressive left, of course. I can't recall any GOP member at the national level in modern times asking for discrimination in favor of whites.

It sounds like they need better algorithms. Maybe after some of those former members of Buzzfeed learn to code, they can help out there,

Or maybe our leaders are just incompetent. I'm sure Admiral X will agree... while unironically liking Ron Paul.

Really? Because I think libertarians are terrible because at it's core libertarianism will turn most people into slaves while crowing about freedom.

Or perhaps national GOP members are like, retweeting a lot of the same videos and images as white nationalists, using a lot of the same hashtags as white nationalists, and share a lot of popular phrasing and language choices with white nationalists.

So they can't distinguish them because they can't focus on things that distinguish them from each other? Instead, they focus on "Hitler ate sugar" type arguments? The ex-Buzzfeed programmers can't do worse than that,
