Like Democrats, Republicans must learn that social media is not real life

Democrats have spent the last several years failing to learn that social media is not real life. Republicans are in the same boat, though, and the sooner that they recognize that, the sooner they can cut loose the toxic elements of the party.

The California Republican Party has recognized this, sending a memo out to its county associates to blacklist GOP candidates who are followers of racist podcaster Nick Fuentes. Too many Republican politicians have allowed themselves to believe that Fuentes is an important voice on the right (even though he hates Republicans and is now promising to vote for Democrats).
