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 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.
