Every - and by "every" I mean EVERY - aggrievement bleated about by American conservatives is 100% manufactured horseshit and can be easily sidestepped by not being a petulant fucking child perpetually in the market for someone to hate.

Name One Republican Policy Plank Intended to Materially Fix Actual Problems of Normal Non-wealthy People Challenge

Good fucking luck.

"It is important that we take the time to LISTEN to the concerns of kindly hardworking people with whom we might disagree with politically" might sound a lot more reasonable if the people I disagree with politically, nearly to a person, had not formed their politics around confabulated spoonfed 100% non-existent garbage specifically constructed to make them zealous crusaders of assholery and fucking yelled about it all the time.

It's like saying "Maybe the kindly people of Dachau truly DIDN'T know what was going on in the camp outside their nice German town so we should cut them a break and try to HEAR their concerns regarding 'economic anxiety' after they stop yelling about how it is good to 'exterminate the unclean degenerates soiling the nation's bloodline.'"

Yeah, no.

Maybe bending SO over backwards that you're talking out of your asshole just to assure demonstrably bad people working specifically to destroy, unperson and subjugate other people that their measurably insane, malevolent fucking beliefs are valid leads to shitty outcomes where, say, an army of neo-Nazi fucking rednecks tries to end democracy in America.

See, I posit this wiggy, improbable theory because it already motherfucking HAPPENED.

The Big Lie, now or in 1932, only becomes "big" because enough folksy fucking rubes buy it and ape it en masse.

But sure, making fun of them and calling them Nazi cunts now versus calling them that after they've destroyed the lives of millions of people people and a country is the TRULY bad and impolitic thing to do.

Not sure who needs to hear this but protesting that kindly rural volk who want an unaccountable dictator to cleanse the country of infidels and heterodoxy should not be called "fascists" doesn't make you "civil," it makes you fucking. complicit. in. fascism. You Vichy fucking twat.

@GrimmReality

"Civility" and "proper speech" has always been the power of the oppressors.

@GrimmReality

Truth and accuracy is where the line of civility gets drawn. Defamation and ad hominem that dehumanizes crosses that line. Describing someone as a fascist if their behavior and words support it does not.

@GrimmReality "Vichy fucking twat"? Sir, I am in your debt for teaching me this wonderful new sobriquet for the followers of Herr Dumpf, and their equivalents in my country. You have my thanks!! 👍🏽🤣🤣🤣
