To be clear, I am only talking about people like the average working class Trump voter. The ones who just got caught by misinformation, and just haven’t been able to find a way out. Trump and all his mates are terrible people, and should be held accountable.

The average voter is another thing. My attitude is that I got lucky, and found out that Trump and his mates are terrible, instead of getting sucked down a rabbit hole of supporting them. Knowing how fascism works, I don’t know if I’d be able to reliably land on the right side if fascism happened in my home country. And if I don’t believe I could reliably spot fascism, I’m not comfortable acting like those who support Trump could have.

This isn’t a discussion of “just be a good person”. I know plenty of amazing, caring people who believe they’re doing the right thing.

This whole idea of “I can’t say is reliably avoid fascism” is based on this, the school that became fascist for a week. As bad of an experiment that was from that teacher, it was an effective way of teaching how people fall for what should be obviously a bad thing.

      Least immature BlueMAGA zealot. What a way for a 34 year old man to behave.

          This is a man approaching middle age throwing a tantrum because he was wrong.

            Lmao do you not get that nobody else believes the utter nonsense you’re spouting, and that we’re only continuing to interact with you to see how long you’re going to stick to your guns and whinge about the utterly unhinged worldview you’re pushing?

              OK

              You know the BlueAnon shitlibs are in a bad way when they’re describing objective fact as “Utter nonsense” just straight up.

                Here’s the context I was talking about, which you are evidently unable to locate yourself.

                The point is that there’s nothing materially different about the deal that your boy “worked out”, save for the timing. Do you not understand that this sort of mafia-esquire ratfucking is a well-known tactic that Trump and his circle regularly and enthusiastically use?

                  Oh so there is a ceasefire? And it was negotiated by Trumps envoy?

                  Damn, you sure abandoned that “utter nonsense” claim you made quickly. Almost like you knew it was wrong from the start.
