It was the day I switched to Brave and never looked back.

i don't get it, why was this specifically bad? Other than it has little to do with the browser/Mozilla projects

It suggests a major political player be deplatformed for frivolous reasons and spreads conspiracy theories about white supremacy.

That the candidate is a white supremacist. This is in the article linked above.

> But as reprehensible as the actions of Donald Trump are, the rampant use of the internet to foment violence and hate, and reinforce white supremacy is about more than any one personality.

It just says his actions reinforced white supremacy, and you've got to admit, white supremacists do love Trump, and they specifically love him because of the words he says and the actions he takes.

Yes, that is the conspiracy theory. I mentioned that you were replying to. Donald Trump is not a part of reinforcing white supremacy, the idea is ridiculous, and you have no evidence for this bizarre claim.

What would it look like to you for a president to reinforce white supremacy? I don't think Trump is a white supremacist himself, but he's close with some of them and helped them in their white supremacist agenda.
