You don't have to die! The article is right there to read. The lie is that he is a Nazi, the article has a bunch more explanation, but basically, there's no reason to think he is a Nazi and several compelling ones to think he is not (which the people who are doing the freakout about the tattoo are willfully ignoring).

People aren't actually saying he's a Nazi. Well, most of them aren't, some are. Most of them are just saying he has a Nazi-adjacent tattoo (which he does) and it's a HUGE problem (which, given his politics, it isn't.) They are carefully staying away from the question of whether the death's-head tattoo actually means he's a Nazi, because it has an answer which isn't the answer they want to portray.
