    No, I was pointing out the hypocrisy that’s being shown in people who use that argument

    Bullshit, there’s nothing in that comment to indicate it was sarcasm, and the “I’m pulling from Republicans too but that doesn’t fit your narrative” defence goes directly against what you’re now saying.

    I respect and support your right to an opinion

    There were once people who had the opinion that it was moral to own other people. There were once people who had the opinion that other people should be marched into camps to be gassed and burned. Not all opinions are equal, and some opinions, such as those, deserve to be called abhorrent and fascist.

    is half of the country “fascists” now? lol

    Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on gay people this past decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on trans people this last decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on immigrants this past decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on Muslims this past decade? Did you not see the last Republican president try desperately to overturn the results of a free and fair election before finally inciting an insurrection? Did you not hear him say he’ll be a dictator and suspend the constitution next time if elected?

    There are some Republicans who still respect America’s institutions, such as Pence and Romney, but they’ve been effectively expelled from the party. Trumpian Fascism now rules the Republican base by a majority, you just need to look at their primary results this year to see that’s the case.

      So do you support and respect my right to have an opinion that is different than yours? Because I respect and value your right to have an opinion that is different than mine.

      Trumpian Fascism now rules the Republican base by a majority, you just need to look at their primary results this year to see that’s the case.

      So as I asked earlier, is half of the country fascist now?

      Do you think all Republicans are fascists?

      Because I don’t. And I’m not Republican, and I don’t vote Republican.

        Sure if your opinion doesn’t directly lead to the rise of fascism. Oh wait, you repeatedly post leftist third party advocacy in the middle of the election to decide Fascism or Democracy? No I don’t respect that opinion and seemingly almost no one here does, that’s why your hundreds of posts and comments on your two week old account have been down voted to hell.

        Do you think all Republicans are fascists?

        Anyone who still supports Trump after a decade of his rhetoric and actions is a Fascist. I repeat again:

        Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on gay people this past decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on trans people this last decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on immigrants this past decade? Have you heard none of the Republican rhetoric on Muslims this past decade?

Did you not hear him say he’ll be a dictator and suspend the constitution next time if elected?

        Nice job ignoring me pointing out your bad faith argument by the way.

          So do you think people should only post articles they think will get upvoted? And create an echo chamber of “like-think.” Do you think that would be better than supporting diversity of thought and opinion?

          Oh wait, you repeatedly post leftist third party advocacy in the middle of the election to decide Fascism or Democracy?

          I’m not sure what you are implying. Care to clarify?

          I post Libertarian third party news as well, which in theory takes votes away from Republicans. Funny how those don’t get nearly the number of downvotes. Hmmm, curious.

          Anyone who still supports Trump after a decade of his rhetoric and actions is a Fascist. I repeat again:

          So again, do you think that half of the country is made up of fascists now? You know, you can just answer yes or no. Pretty simple question.

          Half of entire country isn’t going to vote for your candidate. Are they wrong? Are they fascists?

          I respect and support your right to vote for whoever you want. Do you support them voting for whoever they want, as is their American right?
