You're voting for the Confederate uniform guy, though?

I don't have to agree with everything a person does to vote for them. A history teacher dressing up as a confederate soldier is misguided, especially given the context of the photoshoot, but is a nothing burger of an issue for me. Playing dress up is not the same as espousing the beliefs of what you are dressing up as. We don't know why he did it. We know the speculation given to us by biased reporters, but that doesn't make it the reality.

The comment precisely demonstrates how fascists obtain power. People who ignore racism and look the other way are literally how Hitler rose to power in the 1930s. Mastriano and Trump are following the same playbook.
Mastriano also has ties to antisemitic groups, and the Christian nationalist site Gab. He's made it clear that he only intends to govern for white Christians by the company he keeps and the prayers he starts his rallies with. I'm happy for you that you can look tgr other way, but I can't. He's a danger.
