The problem is people like Andrea Junker here have gone way past the point of reasonability with their claims. So the people who are "supporting racism, ...etc" don't actually believe that they're doing that. Because one teeny step out-of-line on the left, and you're labeled right wing, and jumped on by thirsty hoards of people who would rather eat their own.
Nobody who's voting republican actually believes you when you say they are supporting these things, because we live in clown world, and they're all brainwashed into thinking that you're lying.
I tell people this constantly, and get ignored or chided for the thought. Meanwhile, I've got a previously Trump supporter boss, who I've slowly become friends with and have shown him the problems on the right and moved him further to the left.
It can be done, but it requires not being a rabid animal about it.
When you become as reactionary as your opponents, then you're no better than them. Thank you for not being like this.
So If I am as vehemntly against murderers as they are about murdering, I'm as bad as the murderer?
You've nicely summed up centrism.
Walk softly, and carry a big stick. You have the Declaration of Independence and the Boston Tea Party to guide any future actions you take to stop your current fascist leader. DO SOMETHING. You're fucking up my country too.
Ever since the run up to Trumps first presidency I think you would agree that the republican party has become increasingly unhinged. And how has the democrats responded? With civility (in most cases.) And where has that got them? Your democracy is being dismantled, oversight removed, aid removed, trade wars with allies, etc. They got here by arguing in good faith, by being civil and not wanting to be labelled a reactionary.
Oh, and if you honestly believe you're no better if you're being reactionary towards fucking nazi saluting cunts, then fuck you. From the bottom of my heart, get absolutely fucked
On the contrary, the fascist bastards need to be called out. I wasn't defending THEM, I was defending the average right of center voter. Those fascist animals should be put down. I'm not your enemy. They are.
Who voted for the fascists, making them fascists themselves
You have the Declaration of Independence, Second Amendment rights, and you know who they are.
Thus you see the utter banality of evil and how it gains power and momentum. From people not actually DOING something.
What are YOU going to DO to stop them, American?
