    GOP: “It’s only political rhetoric and divisiveness to say that we’re extremists and Nazis.”

    GOP politician and official nominee: “I’m a Nazi porn addict who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

    This guy’s career will end because he said the quiet part out loud…

        Speaks to character, if you run as a “family values” candidate while cheating on your spouse. It’s not inherently disqualifying, especially compared to self identifying as a Nazi, but it’s not something that the press or the people should ignore.

        “What people do in the sheets” rhetoric is for stuff like kinky sex or being gay…nobody should care if he likes getting pegged. Nobody should care if he has an open relationship. Nobody should care that he likes trans porn, which he said he does. The problem with cheating is the character concern of caring about your wants no matter who it hurts. That is a bad characteristic for a political leader.

        Because it is wrong.

        I am not judging sexual practices. I am judging those who choose to betray their partner. Here is the person he is most committed to in this world, the person who expects undying loyalty in exchange for the same in return, and he is seemingly shitting all over that vow.

        If you only care about practicality, then consider that one will not care for the people in general if they cannot care for those closer to them. Honesty and compassion mean nothing to this man.

        Because he’s a hypocrite. His platform is on family values, but says things like “women who get abortions can’t keep their skirts down”. Even though his wife has had an abortion and now apparently either has cheated on his wife or prepared to. He can’t keep it in his pants.

        He referred to himself as a black nazi, and is into trans porn. That in itself isn’t an issue, however he’s a republican whom do not support trans rights

    It would take an epic fuckton of time and money to create an elaborate fake connection that CNN found here.

    Archived website data, publicly available information, and the clear lack of self awareness really make it hard for him to deny.

    What I don’t understand is where he could have developed these ideas from. Like Uncle Ruckus would be proud of him

    “This is not us. These are not our words. And this is not anything that is characteristic of me,” Robinson said. Presented with the litany of evidence connecting him with the minisoldr user name on Nude Africa, Robinson said, “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”

    I can explain it, I work on the campaign as a media adviser.

    See, the flux capacitor is the key. You drive this car up to 88mph and then bam! CNN’s reporters go back in time, ten years into the past, to manufacture this account. They keep living in the past for years, posting the fraudulent “evidence” that Mr Robinson is anything but the wonderful, kind, caring individual that he is. Zip back forward in time and write this article to slander Mr Robinson and try to pretend that they didn’t make the whole thing up.

    Gotcha! Your move, CNN.

    It seems CNN did excellent research in tying Mark Robinson to minisoldr.

    And this article is very revealing, and shows how gross, sick this individual is. There’s something really wrong with him.

    The article is disturbing - and it’s worth noting that CNN has withheld more evidence that is evidently much more disturbing. Goodness…

      Yep.

      If he had something like a normal healthy interest in sex, even with a bit of a kink, nobody would care.

      Announcing that you’re a Nazi and pro-slavery is the problem here.

          The majority of porn with trans women is aggressively fetishized and dog-whistley to blatantly transphobic. I’m honestly not surprised that someone who consumes it is a transphobe.

    I am sure that his fellow hard-right master race ethnostate enthusiasts will be happy to enslave his ass much to his pleasure and delight.

    This guy is giving off hard raceplay gaykink vibes.

    Everyone said that the road to the white house runs through Pennsylvania. However, it looks like if Harris gets NC, she can loose Penn. What a turn that the first woman president gets elected because of what a man said on a porn site.

    Maybe this will come off as armchair psychology, but I really believe that part of what motivates conservative, and especially far-right sentiment in men is just sexual frustration.

    We’ve seen so many instances of Nazis being outed as gay or as chasers, so many incels who blame women for all the ills of the world, and so many guys who have a “blacked” or “white extinction” fetish are staunchly racist.

    We can respond in a number of ways to rejection, or any other negative experience for that matter, and some people respond with aggression.

    Women don’t find me attractive? Well it must be either their or society’s fault. Or maybe the blacks are at fault for taking all the white women.

    I can’t be gay in my religion or conservative social circle? Well the gays must be sinful groomers then, and should be second class citizens or outright eradicated.

    Once again this is probably just armchair psychology on my part, but this may be part of why we’re seeing conservatism increase among young men as younger generations are having less sex.
