Firstly, dismissing advocating for literal Nazis as "cultural issues" is wildly understating what is going on here.

Second, there's a classic legal principle, "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus", which means all the words of someone who has been proven to have deliberately lied about one thing are suspect.

I know someone who bought a Tesla including "self-driving software" he paid extra for, drove it for years, sold it (and took a bath on the "self-driving" part because you can't sell that), and never once did the "self-driving" part actually work. (This is an anecdote but the story behind the "self-driving" is public knowledge.)

We are always being told that we should be voting with our wallets, and it's true that only 10% of Americans live in swing states so voting with their wallets is they get to do, but then when people actually try it they get lectured in a very superior fashion about that too!
