And they also regularly engage in antisemitic dogwhistles like claiming Soros is secretly funding things, etc. The nature of modern far-right political movements is that competing prejudices often get switched out based on context. So their antisemitism competes with their islamophobia.

I’ve considered that before. I’m just not sure I’m proficient enough to be able to do that on my own. I can apparently buy laptops with Linux as the OS from a tech store where I live, so I may eventually go that route.
