I'm sorry. I read what you are saying, and cannot fathom how your brain survives those gymnastics without disintegrating.
"both parties has repeatedly supported fascism and authoritarianism"
Literally in your first sentence of your response, which is saying you disagree with "We have 2 far right fascist parties in America. That simple."
Cant make this shit up.
Acknowledging there is a distinction to be made between the parties is important if you want to be taken seriously.
There's a distinction to be made between convenient support of fascism abroad as a matter of suiting your interests and leveling that fascism against your own people. I don't shy away from that distinction, and it doesn't negate the critique being leveled against democrats that pardon themselves for that fascistic activity simply because they have a more pleasant appearance domestically.
No.
Fascism is fascism.
Fascism isn't a tool to be used when convenient for you. Fascism is bad.
If you participate in fascism, you are a fascist.
There's the fascism you conduct and there's the fascism you support.
Well yea, I agree. Maybe we need like a rating system of fascism? Or maybe subtypes? Maybe Trump is fascism full-fat and democrats are fascism-lite? Even hell has 7 circles.
If you tell a Democrat they're the same as Hitler I'm gonna guess they aren't gonna take the point seriously. Just a guess.
Lmao, alright I guess
