The letters obtained by the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, show people’s concern over the tone of the Facebook post by Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski
At least 59 Ohio residents have complained to the state’s attorney general over posts made by an Ohio sheriff suggesting that people should keep track of homeowners who have signs supporting Democrat Kamala Harris for president.
Bruce Zuchowski, the sheriff for Portage County just southeast of Cleveland, posted the suggestion to his social media account on Sept. 13, when he talked about Harris’ campaign and border policies.
…
Some people said they were angry, accusing Zuchowski of voter intimidation and racism. Others, including people who live in Portage County, said the sheriff’s post made them afraid.

It would help everyone a lot more if you stopped getting those two things confused
There’s literally a Lemmy user trying to mark all Trump supporters on a map on a website. Nazi I assume?
When you reach, stretch, and attempt to classify everyone who does awful things or that you disagree with politically a “nazi,” you make the word mean less, and you make people care about the term less.
People like me, right now. Carry on, this thread is boring.
Edit: this is handy, it’s like a self-selecting block list. Thanks yall!
Hmmm random Lemmy user and a Shariff, I bet they have the same power.
Fucking idiot.

How many times a day do you have to say “I’m not a Nazi.”?
Bleach isn’t a beverage. Stop drinking.
It would help if you didn’t exaggerate. He has invaded no country and installed no gas chambers. He is a racist fascist at best. That word shouldn’t be thrown around so easily.
You do know that the Nazis didn’t start building gas chambers and invading other countries on day one, right?
Yes, I also know they held rallies and self identified as nazis
I see, so you have to literally be a member of the German National Socialist Worker’s Party in order for someone to legitimately call you a Nazi.
No, there are in fact neo-nazis that self identify as nazis
I see, so you have to literally call yourself a Nazi or someone else calling you a Nazi is being unfair to you.
You don’t need to identify as a Nazi to be a Nazi just like I don’t need to be a pilot to know a plane crash or to be a psychologist to know you’re a fucking moron.
What you should have said was nothing.
If he doesn’t personally invade any countries, and calls for gun violence against “the undesirables” instead of gas chambers, does he still escape the Nazi label? I need to know what the line is exactly according to you, because he’s already trying to put political enemies on an intimidation list and time may be short.
Putting People on Political HIT LISTS ISNT Nazi! It’s ONLY Nazi if they PHYSICALLY Gas them!
When did he call for violence? It sounded like he just wanted them to shelter illegals.
No, you’re right, he only said they should be forced to house incoming “locusts.” That’s nothing like a Nazi at all. Thanks for setting us straight.
Awe did I get downvoted? Boohoo.
The word is over used. This man is a racist piece of trash, but not a Nazi. Actual Nazis and White Supremacists exist.
How many times a day do you have to say “I’m not a Nazi.”?
Never. I hold no views anywhere close to that, I just want words to be accurately applied.
I bet you’ve had to say it twice today.
You’re correct. it should be reserved for Don the con. aka Diaper Donny.
AKA McChicken
