This is the most wild deranged centrist take I've heard in a while. Like sure the Nazis have their hateful symbols but so do the other sides, and in that way they are totally equivalent.

That’s not a centrist take

She’s a nazi, she frequently appears as a guest on a neo-nazi podcast.

Her followers kept sending in threats so they had to move council to online only for safety

Then her followers called in with a bunch of nazi imagery on their camera that prompted this ban proposal
