I have Republican friends who are perfectly decent people.

What, do you think every Nazi was a frothing at the mouth psychopath? "These are GOOD Republicans, they just vote for the oppression of minorities because they like lower taxes", okay, they're still fucking fascists and terrible citizens.

It’s a clump of political stances, not fascism

What the ever-loving fuck do you think fascism is.

That said, most people don’t even know all of what’s bundled in with their party. Nobody has time for that.

"Most people don't know what they're voting for"

If that's true, and I doubt that it is, that would mean millions are voting for fascism because they can't be arsed to ensure that their participation in the civic process isn't oriented towards the oppression and murder of their fellow citizens.

Not sure how much more sympathetic that's really meant to make me towards them.

Yeah, and don't you think they would vote better if people used actual taking points instead of labels?

Ah, the good old "Isn't it YOUR job to make sure fascist fucks aren't fascist fucks?"

Thanks for not disputing anything I said, by the way, it's nice to know some enlightened centrists are actually completely aware that they're gagging on fascist cock and just don't care.

Ok, we're done here. You're an actual troll diamond at the mouth because you think anyone other than your team just has to be evil.

Sorry that I think encouraging the murder of minorities is evil. I'm sure that your enlightened viewpoint realizes that this is actually completely okay and shouldn't be labeled with mean terms like 'fascism'.
