  I’m leaning satire. If you poke around his site enough, you’ll get rickrolled.

    Evidently he guy is a fascist though, according to further up in the thread

      This feels like them trying to “it’s just a joke” a topic into local public discourse.

    Also, the Donate button goes to the Immigrant Defense Fund.

      I can name at least 1 worse IDF those donations could be going to.

    That’s not his site. This is his official campaign site.. He’s a republican running in New York’s district 21.^[en.wikipedia.org/…/2026_United_States_House_of_Re…] The flyer pictured in the post and the website on the flyer are a parody by someone else.

  I think it is satire. The proud boys, of which he is very affiliated, are very anti-circumcision for reasons that are likely obvious.

    reasons that should be obvious.

    They are not.

      I’m guessing they think circumcision is strictly a Jewish thing and, as Nazis, the don’t stand for it

        About 50% of Americans are circumcised. They would have to be incredibly stupid to believe it’s strictly a Jewish thing. So it tracks.

  If it’s satire, it’s really close to the line. So close, that I wouldn’t be surprised if right-wing propagandists ran with it, just to prove a point. After all, if a big enough group of crazies rally behind something like this, they’d be stupid not to.

    Precision satire.

  I was thinking the same thing. This seems like a bit. Theres no fucking way this is real.

    Loads of americans mutilate kids, but this seems to be a parody.

  Well, in another comment they mention that he is a far right loonie. So maybe not that satirical after all.
