        Fair enough, if you ever get curious here’s a tl;dr behind a spoiler:

        He’s a Neo-Nazi live-streamer. For context, Trump hosted Fuentes and Kanye West at the White House for a dinner in 2022, and this is an example of the response:

        Among American Jews, the ensuing discussion was described by a New York Times writer as “what may be the most discomfiting moment in U.S. history in a half-century or more”.

          2022 doesn’t sound right for Trump to be hosting anything at the white house. Was this at Mar a Lago or was this earlier during his presidency?

            Yes, that was my bad. I fixed my comment - thank you for catching my error.

            Here’s the quote from Wikipedia my brain auto-corrected when I read it:

            On November 22, 2022, Donald Trump hosted Fuentes and Kanye West at dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. The meeting was at West’s request. West said that Trump was “really impressed with Nick Fuentes”.[73] Trump released a statement saying that after contacting him earlier in the week to arrange the visit, West “unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about”, with whom Trump dined, and that “the dinner was quick and uneventful”.[74]

                Definitely feels like we’re being thrown back into it. I’m in an at-risk category, so the despair is much worse for me this time, and maybe as a result I’m not even letting myself feel things yet. Too much to do, no time for grief.
