Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Smart enough to not fall for such an obvious deflection, at any rate.
Hard to "fall" for something that isn't there. You're just making the statement that Liberals=Fascists, when you're factually wrong. Please go to any Poli-sci course, and you will learn. Alternatively, you could just not comment when you're uninformed. Sorry to hear about your TBE.
If you're gonna say anything other than "but but they're literally not the same, so therefore they can't be compared", get back to me. Go talk to some actual humans and learn how we speak, learn the nuance in language required to understand that "liberals are fascist" is not saying "the definition of liberalism is identical to that of fascists".
Liberals support and prop up fascists, both materially by carrying their policies through without challenge, and also ideologically by giving a false vision of "The Left", while edging further and further right, limiting the horizon of what politics can be. If the "good guy" is barely different from the "bad guy", surely the bad guy can't really be that bad... right?
They are both bourgeois parties serving the same corporate and imperial interests. Liberals are just smarter and like to throw in some welfare and pander to progressive causes so their outright villainy is less obvious.
You're delusional. You literally are saying yourself they are exactly the same. Go to lemmy.ml- they love dumbass tankie takes.
