  • He ran an effective campaign of comparing brown people like Mandela Barnes to danger and fear. On the other side, the Wisconsin democrats underestimated Barnes’ polling and put almost zero effort into a campaign they assumed they wouldn’t win based on those incorrect polling numbers.

    Ron Johnson exploited racist fears. The democrats assumed Mandela would lose and ran their shitty campaign as a self fulfilling prophecy.

    FRJ!!!








  • Agree. Upvoted for accurate and reasonable criticism of my statement. It doesn’t mean he was a nazi, and it has nothing to do with the fact that he was an amazing musician and performer, and from all accounts I have read, was active in engaging minorities in rock music. It’s just unusual for people who aren’t anthropologists or historians working with a preservation society to have a personal collection of artifacts from such a vile group. I worry that people who don’t know all the good Lemmy did will conclude that he was celebrating the nazis, and unfortunately there is not a lot of objective data left to confirm that he wasn’t glorifying them, and I think that sucks.
