Tomi Yukimura runs Politique Republic (https://politiquerepublic.substack.com/) on Substack and he recommended my blog and after much thought, I now recommend following his. I write the recommendation here as I cannot comment on his articles because I am not a paid subscriber.
The mainstream media does not do much research or investigation on numerous topics and there is not much dialog fostering a feedback loop to journalists to clarify viewpoints. The end result is much information is cloned from initial outputs and never challenged or investigated nor provides a different perspective. But the new journalists such as Tomi do and note it. The writer is one of the growing number of independent journalists who get their nails dirty on the details of the topics.
Tomi wrote about how supposed Nazis favored Governor DeSantis at a Turning Point USA conference.
The largest problem is Nazi symbolism is too often used for shock value instead of ideology. Cameras are so quickly drawn to the imagery and blast sensationalism over thought. Also, Hitler's power allures the disenfranchised like nothing else. So when such symbols appear, the assumption is it is a hate group, but anti-Semites rarely rally. At the same time, most Neo-Nazis push national socialism and are more likely to appear in left-wing organizations, not the right.
While the essay addresses the TPUSA event, I suspect most of these Nazi-type appearances are funded by clandestine organizations with ulterior motives or are individuals angry with others, or are flat-out trolls seeing if they can get news coverage. The leftist of the SPLC-variety cash in on it all and exaggerate what is going on.
Many people will take issue with my claim here and say: "no one would go so far as to do such an elaborate scheme" but the left does. As I mentioned before, Look Ahead America, an election integrity group, found out by accident, they were being smeared in a mass mailing campaign spoofing their postal address which is a felony violation of Federal law. You can read about it at:

Someone somewhere had a large mailing list and lots of money for printing and postage. Who sent these letters and why? The amount of money being spent must be stellar as no discount postage was used. And why pick on an innocuous organization concerned about the problems of the 2020 election? Was this scheme funded by the Federal government?
How far does the subversion go? I witnessed on Twitter during the 2020 election outcomes and heard much abuse of what was taking place in Pennsylvania. Do people know over 20,000 Twitter accounts of conservative Pennsylvanians were suspended (https://politiquerepublic.substack.com/p/will-twitter-reinstate-the-10k-conservatives)? Such censorship should cause a bit of alarm.
But it does not end there. Tomi also lets loose on Ray Epps, an instigator of the January 6 mayhem who has been “exonerated” (https://politiquerepublic.substack.com/p/ray-epps-is-the-only-person-exonerated).
So, take a look at Politique Republic.
