Maine Senate Candidate Platner Really Did Have an SS Totenkopf Tattoo

I wasn't following this. I figured it was just partisan political BS, and that he'd have maybe some indeterminate kind of skull tattoo that was being blown out of proportion...but...well...if you look it up...it's an SS Totenkopf, alright...

   Obviously I have no interest in the "performative" woke anti-fascism/anti-Nazism...but every normal red-blooded 'Merican boy ought to know what that looks like...and even if (as Platner claims) you got such a tattoo when drunk, you'd want to get that shit removed / covered up asap... I'd be creeped/grossed out beyond the telling of it. I'd probably never admit that I hadn't known what the Totenkopf looked like...

Damn, man...

   It's weird as hell...but still, I think it's pretty damn unlikely that the guy is a secret Nazi. That is like the tenth most likely explanation of all this.

   What he apparently is is a guy who was willing to keep a Totenkopf tattoo long after he knew what it was. Which is pretty fucked up if you ask me.
