I would like to point out the title of this thread is misleading.

Republican strategist Rick Wilson made it known that Western anime fans' reputation apparently isn't unlike their Japanese counterparts when he likened Donald Trump supporters as "childless single men who masturbate to anime" and fans of Hitler iconography in the same breath on MSNBC on Tuesday.

So the dude tried to bash Trump supporters as otakus.

Well, actually, he was comparing otakus to white-supremacists...Who were supporting Trump.
It's...complicated

, but the key point to take away here is, "White-supremacists supporting Trump". It's sort of hard to get way from that elephant in the room.
