There's been much concern about comparing events and other people to Nazis in Minnesota politics of late--but sometimes using the term "Nazi" about an individual isn't an analogy, but a mere matter of identification.
We haven't written about the activities of the neo-Völkisch Asatru Folk Assembly in Minnesota for a while, but a tweet thread by Fact on Folkish (@FolkishFacts, who tracks those pagans who are inclined to white supremacy), suggests that as has been the case with other Asatru Folk Assembly devotees, another member adopted nazi ideology.
Read the thread on Twitter that begins (and yes, you'll have to click to see the sensitive images you're being warned about):
He was convicted in 2007 of 1st degree robbery & served 11 years in Texas prison. Arrested in Mille Lacs County, #Minnesota in '20, he possessed a loaded Glock, a charge that got him the 5-year sentence this week. He was also sentenced on DWI & drug charges. @sctimes @WJON_News pic.twitter.com/Mth8sDuj1B

Some down-thread tweets:
He does this with his wife, Kristina Nicole Olson Horacek Brown. She’s a real treat, too, and has long ties to #AsatruFolkAssembly in #Minnesota. pic.twitter.com/X38yVfeXB7
