Yes...it was my post.

So....since you're so hot on throwing that term around....

Why don't you give us your definition of "white nationalist" ....

And then provide us with some examples of why The Proud Boys fit that definition.

I was answering YOU talking about white nationalists, I didn't bring it up. Since you did and you specifically said white, what is your definition?

Oh no you don't

The Democrats invented the term as a pejorative to try to paint anyone who disagrees with unbridled illegal immigration and believes in America first social and economic policies as a racist, akin to the skinheads or the KKK.

Nationalism and populism have nothing to do with that.

So....

Why don't YOU give us your definition of white nationalist and provide some examples of how the Proud Boys fit that definition?.

I was responding to someone else who used it, then you said that Dems DON'T consider anyone who opposes them white nationalists.

So it must mean something to YOU.

Democrats invented the term.

It means nothing to me.

-Wikipedia

Does not say anything about Democrats inventing the term whatsoever.
That's interesting. Thank you.

The first definition of "Proud Boys which comes up when i do a search, is:


The Proud Boys is an American far-right, neo-fascist, and exclusively male organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.


These are the guys (men only per organization rules) whose leader i think is still in jail for seditionism against the US. Many of his followers have been, or will be, subject to attacking or subverting our freedoms. By my book, that is an attempt to overthrow our Democratic Government.
Maybe these folks who want to strut around with weapons should just join the real military! They are just hateful people. This isn't what America is suppose to be like.

Yes that’s why we need DeSantis to hire a Christian university to set standards, so we avoid politics.

Get your opinion straight.
Wtf are you talking about? I said nothing about 'she should have' or 'shouldn't have'. You're making things up, again.

So which is it. Should she say she supports planned parenthood? Not according to the poster I was responding to- only reading, writing and math.
So confusing with hypocrisy.
Should you reveal every charity you’ve given to in the last year? The last 5 years? Or should you stay quiet and only discuss matters of education.
Should you say if you go to church or believe in god?
Apparently, she didn't simply support PP nor just donate to them, "charity", she worked for/with them.

Obviously, you didn't read either the story or my post.

We don't claim everyone in the GOP is a white nationalist the way righties claim every Democrat is fist-pumping with "Antifa."

uh huh, sure. So apparently to you, and others on the left, an afro-cuban is a white supremacist/nationalist.
