The problem is people like Andrea Junker here have gone way past the point of reasonability with their claims. So the people who are “supporting racism, …etc” don’t actually believe that they’re doing that. Because one teeny step out-of-line on the left, and you’re labeled right wing, and jumped on by thirsty hoards of people who would rather eat their own.

Nobody who’s voting republican actually believes you when you say they are supporting these things, because we live in clown world, and they’re all brainwashed into thinking that you’re lying.

I tell people this constantly, and get ignored or chided for the thought.

When you become as reactionary as your opponents, then you’re no better than them. Thank you for not being like this.

Ever since the run up to Trumps first presidency I think you would agree that the republican party has become increasingly unhinged. And how has the democrats responded? With civility (in most cases.) And where has that got them? Your democracy is being dismantled, oversight removed, aid removed, trade wars with allies, etc. They got here by arguing in good faith, by being civil and not wanting to be labelled a reactionary.

Oh, and if you honestly believe you’re no better if you’re being reactionary towards fucking nazi saluting cunts, then fuck you. From the bottom of my heart, get absolutely fucked

On the contrary, the fascist bastards need to be called out. I wasn’t defending THEM, I was defending the average right of center voter. Those fascist animals should be put down. I’m not your enemy. They are.

Who voted for the fascists, making them fascists themselves
