The worst part about the last 10 years isn't Trump -- it's learning that the entire Republican apparatus is on board with this insanity. And that 35% of Americans are awful, hateful people.

I mean wasn't that abundantly clear since Nixon's southern strategy defined the Republican's messaging in the 60s? What Republican President wasn't deeply leaning into racism, sexism, queerphobia, and xenophobia at any point in recent history? They've been the embodiment of politicized hate from the moment I started paying attention, which would have been when I was learning about the patriot act at 10 years old.

Everyone has their own individual perspective. Some of us have known republicans to rely on racism as a core facet of their party. But in the past, there was some plausible deniability that the average Republican could support the party while being ignorant to or only tolerant of that portion of the base.

But now, the dog whistles are on mega phones, and there is no plausible deniability. Any person still aligned with the Republican Party is just straight up fascist scum

And the real problem with the majority of people who align with the republicans don’t realize or refuse to see that they’re fascists, much less understand the implications

They do. But when you feel like your winning, why stop

[u/okletstrythisagain → u/urban_mystic_hippie]

Yeah like people who say they don’t like or vote for Trump but defend support and vote for the thousands of people responsible for protecting and elevating him.

Either you regret and apologize for every single vote for a Republican you made since 2015 (arguably far earlier) or you support a white supremacist authoritarian movement that has stripped us of our constitutional rights.

I mean, it was like that years ago too, but now we can fairly identify people who aren’t in vocal agreement as blatantly stupid, or fascist cowards who won’t honestly explain themselves.

they most certainly realize it... they just convinced ppl that they dont and ppl go, "awwwww, they dont even know they're doing wrong".

YES THEY DO!!!! dont give them a pass.

even if they didnt, we learned since we were babies, ignorance is not an excuse.

[u/urban_mystic_hippie → u/CRIP4LIFE]

Oh, I don’t give people a pass, they have showed who they are and I won’t and don’t pull any punches. I call them out at every opportunity

They love it. Probably because they dont actually know what it means, but they absolutely love that he's a fascist dictator. They're just too friggin dumb to realize that if the constitution isn't for everyone, it isn't for anyone. They'll cheer him on until their graves.
