I aspire to be pragmatic and effective in my political communications. Yes, give up talking about things that will be perceived as wackadoodle conspiritarded ramblings. Even if they are true, it is not helpful to say them.

there's a lot of space between afd and stormfront actually, but interestingly it isn't clear how much of that is just cleverness on part of the afd, which illustrates my point, lots of afd members may browse stormfront but they'll 100% expel anyone who publicly admits it
