A man who marched with Nazis in Charlottesville in 2017 is now poised to win election to the Florida legislature. His candidacy reflects shifting norms around extremist participation in mainstream politics.
A man who marched openly with Nazi symbols and slogans at Charlottesville in 2017 is now positioned to win election to the Florida state legislature. He participated in one of the most visible white supremacist gatherings in recent American history and is still recognizable from that event—yet he's running for office and polling to win.
This isn't a story about one bad candidate. It's a story about what's become acceptable. In 2017, being at that rally disqualified someone from serious political consideration. Now it apparently doesn't. That shift happened somewhere between then and now. Voters in his district either don't know or don't care about his history. The Republican Party either didn't vet him or decided it didn't matter. Something in the political center of gravity has moved—and moved deliberately, not by accident.
