Republicans and Fascism

[SteakNEggs]

I'm not "you guys" I'm me.

I said one thing that you seem to have intentionally breezed past. MAGA is different. MAGA actively "otherizes" me, other members of my family and have targeted people I love to have their basic rights taken away. MAGA has made themself my enemy and that is how I will regard them.

I have no special love for democrats but they haven't threatened my rights and freedoms in anywhere close to the same way the MAGA movement has. It's not the lesser of two evils, it's the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

What basic rights specifically?

Is this a reference to boiling a frog or something.

You keep ignoring what I'm saying and making unrelated points so I can see why we probably had negative interactions in the past.

The government is the government. It is made up of hundreds of thousands of individuals all told. Many are flawed, many are corrupt, many are criminals. Despite this we have a system that sometimes uncovers wrongdoing and some of those times punishes it to some degree, even if it often seems like it didn't go far enough.

We live in a good nation that provides most of us with opportunities to live the lives we want to live. We don't live in a perfect nation. We don't have any perfect political parties. Either party can run our government and provide all the wonderful things that I love about the United States. I don't think we are in the process of losing our freedoms. I'm not afraid, I'm not living in fear. I don't know why you are.

I’m not living in fear, but I am seriously concerned. Whatever you think happened with the nord stream pipeline doesn’t even matter, the fact is it was an enormous ecological disaster as was the train derailment in Ohio. We are “recovering” from a pandemic that could also be linked to our government as well as the pharmaceutical industry. On top of it all, our government is Sabre rattling with multiple nuclear powers.

This is all the kind of **** people on the left were worried about trump doing. Trump is a psycho and he’s unstable and they were right to be worried about that with him, but why no concern about all the **** going on right now? There is some real bad **** going on.

Yet still constant bickering and circle jerking going on here. Even full on support and the defense of pharmaceutical industries when someone displays some skepticism. It’s very strange. My very first post was about how corrupt our government was as a whole, yet I was very quickly labeled and trashed like others here with any opposing perspectives.

Your ideas were criticized, especially that part where you thought you were revealing some hidden truths, and you took it personally. It happens.

I might not have the solution, but I can guarandamntee it’s not to keep voting democrat.

Until you, or someone else, have a workable solution or at least a better choice, I'll keep voting for the lesser of the two evils.

I think a better choice would be to have conversations and try to understand different perspectives. Until folks can decide to stop prescribing to their blue or red cult membership and fighting over balloons I think finding a solution will be difficult.
It’s a top vs bottom issue not left vs right.
