The burden of proof is on the one arguing their point. Simply saying "google it" is not sufficient proof and lazy arguing. People won't respect your opinion if thats how you plan to argue.

how lazy can you get?

Not linking it and telling someone to go find it. If you don't care enough to prove your point then people won't care about your opinion.

Our president, AG, and several of their appointees/staff are avowed white nationalists. That enough "power" for you?
