in case you didn’t hear, nick spencer (the comic book writer who keeps turning everyone and their mother into a goddamn nazi) is a failed republican politician who ran for office in cincinnati in 2003 and 2005. here’s the article if you want to read it but short version is, his platform was rooted in elitism and white supremacy. he says police brutality is “hilarious”, thinks of black people as drug dealers and criminals, he wanted to brutally persecute poor black people in his neighborhood while hiring more police + expanding jailing capacity. in order to pay for all this he wanted to defund all social services in the city. oh and he also thinks homeless shelters are a “glut of social services that encourage panhandling“.
I was wary of a post that only linked one blog post as a source but I followed all the links available to reputable sources like web archives of campaign pages and it is literally all true. He never specifically mentions race at all, but it’s pretty goddamn clear what he means in his blog posts especially. It may not be overt or outspoken white supremacy, but that’s what it boils down to when he seems to blame all of his home city’s problems on poor black people and thinks the way to solve that is through defunding social services and hiring more police to do “crime sweeps.” This is a good article with a lot of source links.
