      Can we stop using the excuse he’s not well? I’ve got plenty of folks in my life with mental illness and they’re not like this

          I agree. The mental illness does not make him racist. The mental illness gives him no filter to hide the racism.

          Of course, being super, super rich and thus barely facing any consequences does not help.

        They’re also not enormously wealthy new money, so they’re going to have a different understanding of the system from someone who was enormously privileged, but still subject to some of the negative effects of capitalism.

        To be clear, I am not defending that Nazi, I am just pointing out that peoples political ideology is largely determined by their relationship with the means of production.
