Hot take, but I don't hate Ron Paul as a person, despite the fact that I obviously disagree with him. I have significantly more respect for him than I do for the average republican. At least Ron Paul actually has principles, and I genuinely believe that he is trying to do what he thinks is right. I don't think he's a bad person, I just think his philosophy is wrong.
Yeah sorry those principles involve a hell of a lot of racism and his friendliness with the Stormfront guys should push this past the whole "philosophy is wrong" phase into fuck this stupid fascist territory.
He was doing that shit about Haiti in the 90s... https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/12/grappling-with-ron-pauls-racist-newsletters/250206/
But he was distancing himself from that. Claimed he let other people write that shit and didn't bother to read it. Is he really leaning into the racism on twitter now?

And quite frankly, he was cheated out of a presidential nomination just like Bernie was. And I think there's a fairly significant chance that he would have been better than Obama, at least Ron Paul would have ended the wars.
I hope he recovers from this as well as possible. Anyway, feel free to call me a lib now.

That's how I felt about him until he started posting racist shit on his twitter.

This post tells me that you are a honkie. Don't worry, I wont steal your bicycle.
Or maybe I just didn't know the extent of the racist shit Ron Paul was involved with?
Anyway, I don't even have a bike but you can steal my brother's if you want :)
You handled me giving you shit well and I 💖 you for that.
lol thanks, I appreciate that 🙂
❤️ you right back, comrade :heart-sickle:
