Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) misattributing a neo-Nazi meme to a French enlightenment thinker shows how easily extremist talking points can enter the mainstream
The other option is that Massie knew where the quote was from, knew it had become a meme in and of itself among right-wing circles, and posted it on purpose to do a bit of Nazi dog whistling.

from Voltaire, Massie’s deployment of it against Fauci — the GOP’s stand-in for scientific and medical consensus — and the nature of the quote itself lend themselves to the greater far-right cause.
