If we excluded everyone with a Nazi tattoo from serving in elected office, that would only leave us with 99.99% of the population to choose from.
@mattblaze - so that also excludes the January 6 seditionists that Agent Orange pardoned?
Stupidity present with both parties.

@mattblaze Hot take: not only can you not have any Crusader/Nazi tattoos, but you MUST have at least one antifa tattoo.
@mattblaze I was considering a tattoo design that incorporated lightning bolts (bc electricity/public power) and my tattoo artist reminded me that they are a Nazi symbol. a) Nazis ruin everything (I found a different design that I love), b) I, a middle-aged brown immigrant woman, didn’t want the slightest chance of ever having to explain it *wasn’t* a Nazi tattoo.
[Also, tattoo artists (gladly!) do coverups and laser removal is great now. *Keeping* that tattoo was a choice.]
@mattblaze @cstross that’s a lower number than I’d hoped
@mattblaze If we also excluded KKK symbolism, that might deduct even more people, but not any worthy representatives.
