The above comment is by someone promoting fascism. They are cloaking it in down talking the right, but what they want is for you to accept that some are subject to others.

Umm no. Take your personal attacks elsewhere please.

I’m commenting on the unfortunate education level of the average American. People who vote. People who are easily sucked into things like the maga cult or doing whatever their good Christian priest says. And yes from the left as well (although I would argue they don’t abuse it like y’allqueda does)

I replied to another comment saying I agree it would never work. By default I’d be subjecting others to my beliefs, and that’s wrong. And yes, I do believe there are a whole bunch of people who can’t critically think for themselves and it’s scary that like half the country or more falls into that category.

Education is probably the answer, or at least the only one I can think of. Democracy requires sane voices of the people, not the groupthink of a mob mentality. No matter the cost, I always vote in favor of expanding schools, paying teachers more, not cutting programs. We’ll never all agree on everything-but people need to weigh the pros and cons of any particular law/legislation, and realize that sometimes you should compromise and ditch this “own the other side” mentality.
