And that’s basically it!
Remember when Sean Spicer claimed that the Nazis didn’t use chemical weapons? Or how conspicuously absent Jews were from the 2017 International Holocaust Remembrance Day statement?
Holocaust denial is a tricky beast too. The biggest proponents of it don’t believe what they are saying - it works as their “Big Lie.” Once someone swallows the idea that millions didn’t die, for some reason it’s easy to get them to believe that millions must die. (And that specific phrase is a meme for the hardcore - “millions must die.”)
But in “mainstream” politics they’re duplicitous fuckers that are just blowing on the dog whistles, trying to keep the plausible deniability.
