    It’d be rough for me if I ran for major office no doubt.

    Specifically about the tattoo: I grew up orthodox Jewish and went to school (a yeshiva) across the street from a Holocaust museum and used to go there all the time. I did not know what the toten kopf was until Graham Platner got called out in it. I’m also into tattoo culture and have come close to getting a similar style skull because it was cool and piratey.

      It also doesn’t help there are at least two different totenkopf’s. The older Prussian cavalry badge, which has many variants, and the SS one designed specifically for them.
