Donald Trump is being asked by some supporters to "fire" his top campaign advisors — so much so that it has affected what topics are trending on the former president's social media network, Truth Social.On Friday morning, the former president's Truth Social platform was deluged with complaints about...

    I don’t think I’ll ever understand how non-white people end up involved in a white supremacist movement in any capacity, much less in leadership positions. What exactly is your end game here my man?

      From his Wikipedia page (the first sentence is the relevant part but the rest is so funny I had to include it):

      According to himself, Fuentes is of Mexican descent via his paternal ancestors and is Catholic.[27][28]

      Fuentes identifies as an incel (or “involuntary celibate”), although some of his supporters have criticized him for being a “voluntary celibate” after he admitted that he kissed a girl while he was in high school.[14][29] He has described himself as the “straightest guy” and attempted to defend himself as an incel by claiming that “the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel”, as “having sex with women is gay … What’s gayer than being like, ‘I need cuddles. I need kisses … I need to spend time with a woman.’”[30][31][32]

        If an HBO dark sitcom had a character that’s exactly like Nick Fuentes, audiences would complain that he’s too much of an over the top parody to be a believable character.

        having sex with women is gay

        I don’t understand why someone who is gay would align themselves with people who hate gay people so much, and go through these Olympic level mental gymnastics. You could just… Not be a part of the group that hates you, and be a part of a group that doesn’t care if you’re gay.

          This is what hardcore religious indoctrination from a young age does to some gay people.

      It’s crazy…my sister in laws family literally snuck in from juarez Mexico in the 80s. They are now legal, and she was born here.

      All of the older family are hardcore Trumpers, are not wealthy, and have family in Juarez still. They are all very pro border security. It’s insane how delusional they are. They literally bad mouth illegal immigrants and even migrants. “Took our jerbs”

      Luckily SIL is not like them.

          Do you understand that Mexican people can be white? Mexican people can be white. Mexico is a country, not a skin color. That’s why demographic questionnaires have “white, hispanic” and “white, non-hispanic” as separate entries.

            No they don’t. They have 13 flavours of Asian, then ‘aboriginal’, caucasian and black, none with any granularity deeper than that. I assume Latinos come under ‘caucasian’ here but I’d support a case of abo too, depending.

            (At least in my area).

          What bearing does his religion have on his skin color?

          Does one have to be catholic to be a “true Mexican” or something?
