      They know. They know exactly who they are supporting. They’re supporting him because of the fascism, not despite it.

        Either they want the fascism because they think it’ll work for them, or they want the fascism as justification for violent revolution.

        Sane people are stuck in the middle.

      At this point, I feel like we need to turn that question back around on ourselves.

      This is who they are. It’s who they all are. Maybe all Republicans aren’t Nazis, but they are all OK with Nazis.

      We need to stop trying to shame conservatives into doing the right thing. We need to stop expecting morality, or patriotism, or rationality. Conservatives will say and do whatever they think they need to say or do to win.

      How many examples does it take for people to notice?

        You’re now caught up on modern US politics. There are three parties, and two of them are currently unified under the DNC. Only one of them is outright loud proud fascist.
