Last year in July, I confronted “neo-Nazis” outside of a TPUSA event in Florida. I use quotation marks around “neo-Nazis” because many things never sat right with me about their presence there.
For one, it felt way too convenient. This is supposedly Florida’s local Nazi group that show up randomly from time to time but only in ways that foster leftist narratives about conservatives being attached to Nazis.
Even the things they showed up with didn’t line up. They were waving a DeSantis flag, but it was still creased, meaning they’d just bought it and unfurled it there. The poster boards they had looked like memes they had ripped straight from 4-Chan, which seemed like something they saw popularly tied to Nazis on the internet and chose to display to make them seem more legitimate.
But the thing that really made me sure that they were nothing but leftist plants was the fact the only attention they got from corporate media was pretty light. It’s as if they wanted to highlight the fact that Nazis and Republicans were tied at the hip, but they didn’t want to get into too much detail.
This should trigger your disbelief.
Let’s take another look at “Nazis” showing up in Florida to make statements. Very recently, a group of neo-Nazis showed up in front of Disney World flying flags and standing proudly in front of Mickey. Sure enough, the mainstream media reported on the incident but there was very little information posted about them.
The USA Today article about it features a citizen’s outrage about the Nazis, including getting her name and the fact that she’s even a 6th generation Floridian. However, the reporter who got her statement apparently didn’t go deeply into the Nazis. It’s not like they aren’t willing to talk to people. The ones at the TPUSA event weren’t shy. So why didn’t the reporter try to interview one of them?
Interestingly, what the USA Today article did talk about more than the Nazis was DeSantis and his feud with Disney:
The incident comes as DeSantis, who is running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, <a class="gnt_ar_b_a" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/05/12/bob-iger-vs-ron-desantis-who-is-winning/70212329007/" data-t-l=":be
