It doesn't matter what those people you list personally believe; the fact is their speech and behavior is de facto functioning as an entry point funneling[1] people into fascist beliefs. If that isn't their intention, they really need to stop this kind of behavior.
> they do not support white supremacy and think Nazis are racist morons
> NYT still calls them "white supremacist supporting."
These are not in conflict; your actions can still support fascists unintentionally. When people point out your beliefs are supporting white supremacists, it might be a good idea to correct the problem. Continuing to defend the problematic behavior is when what might have been unintentional support begins to look more like intentional participation.

- pdkl95 7y agoOnly if "right-wingers" necessarily means someone with fascist beliefs. If that isn't your definition, don't imply that association by making them the target. (for a more nuanced answer, see [1])
