If I were the proverbial person from Mars and you wanted to convince me that Naziism/white supremacy is gaining a foothold in US society and politics, these aren’t convincing examples.

What about a Nazi winning the Missouri House primary by 25 points?
The Martian is not impressed. It is amazing what kind of people can be elected in state houses but it’s not proof that Naziism is sweeping the nation.
Antisemitism was a major part of actual Nazism and for whatever reason has found quarter on the Left. That is something that I do find worrisome. (The Missouri candidate expresses antisemitism which is more rare among candidates on the Right.)
