    You’re completely right, it’s important not to punch a fascist in anger. All they will remember is the anger, and not the lesson. Try to smile while punching fascists, and add a compliment sandwich to help them understand that you’re only punching them because you care.

        Get the fuck out of here with your disingenuous bullshit.

        The guy in the picture does vote. He is a fascist who supports Trump and supported the terrorist insurrection on Jan 6. Telling people not to vote is part of a coordinated disinformation campaign to help fascists win more elections.

        That’s how you’re wrong. You want to keep arguing, that just proves that you’re part of the campaign.

          How does he support Trump and in what way did he support the insurrection on Jan 6? I honestly don’t know. The only news article I found about it utilized @capitolhunters on Twitter as their only source who said that they are going off a mere accusation. In reading articles by Matthew Walther, it doesn’t appear that he’s ever supported Jan. 6 although it could be argued he downplayed it. However, if you read his articles he also still calls it an insurrection and doesn’t even voice support for Trump from what I can tell. He seems rather apolitical from what I’ve read thus far. Are you going to back up any of your claims with evidence or are you just here to advocate for fascists activities like punching people in the face for not voting?

            Dude is a fascist bigot who definitely voted for Trump and wrote articles in support of the insurrection. He lied in the article, saying he doesn’t vote in an effort to convince other people not to vote at all.

              In the links you posted, what specific statement has you convinced that he voted Trump & supported the insurrection? Furthermore, since his political stance seems to be heavily influence by Catholicism where he quotes and tries to use the Pope’s statements for his own personal guidance, wouldn’t the issue have more to do with religion overall… which the Democrats are unwilling to tax or decry as a mental illness rather than a legitimate function of society?

                  Or what… you going to show me how anti-fascist you are by advocating to punch people that decide for themselves that they don’t want to vote?

                    You know what, I hadn’t thought of that. You’re completely right. You are obviously not a dipshit trying to spread disinformation, and we should all just let the fascists win by not voting. Good job, buddy, you did well today.

            Dude… stop.

            Read this: and te me you still think he’s one of you…

            Then read this: and tell me he’s not a conservative.

            You’re buying into the bullshit people like this guy want you to do. And if you don’t think there aren’t people among you just like this asshole- you’re either lying to yourself, or you’re one of them.

              Is he right-wing or conservative? John McCain was a conservative but Democrats still respect him. I asked you to show me that he is a Trump supporter and that he was involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection… those were the claims. You have not provided anything at all to support that. It is starting to look like you judge people and things without doing any research, and really just want to be a fascist yourself.

                Wait… I judge without research? I fucking showed you what the dude is about. His Twitter account shows he supports Trump. You clearly didn’t read it- yet you stand in judgement of me?

                Did you look him up and come back here with anything?

                At this point- you’re here to troll. We’re done here. Seems everyone else is on to you as well so….

                Hope you have the day you deserve, bud.

                  On to me for what? I am a progressive that doesn’t want Trump to win. I just don’t believe being a fascist like you seem to want to be is the right way to win votes.

                  Where did you prove he voted for Trump? Show me the tweet or article where he says he voted for Trump.
