Personally my bet is closer to him being a political progressive but with a lot of skeletons and some demons. Which is fine interpersonally but it could have caused issues such as blackmail and acting like a rat if it started coming out. Probably wouldn’t have been a problem if he cleared everything out first but folks often don’t do that due to shame.
Platner was definitely a crypto fascist larping as a progressive. Maine almost ended up with a Fetterman for governor.
