The parent comment was not equivocating "KKK and anti-KKK", it was simply pointing out the false equivalence on that guy's T-shirt. All-caps claims that Trump, the KKK, and Fascism are equivalent is part of the problem and exacerbating tribalism.
The anti-Semitic terrorist in Powey wrote that he felt personally betrayed and furious at how friendly Trump is with Jewish people and his support for Israel. The media, and protestors, making such extreme claims aren't just misleading people who oppose bigotry, they are misleading people who support bigotry and making the conflict bigger and more confused than it otherwise would be.

- Knufen 7y agoUnrelated to the discussion, but Nazis were never on the right except for today where their views on immigration might cross. Nazism has always been a redefinition of socialism so I find it kinda confusing that people equate right wingers with nazis.
