Political Memes

While they are facist sympathizers in that they vote red with their ehad in the sand, wether they know it or not, what do you gain by calling them that?

I'm not seeking to gain anything. But I do want to live in reality, and so I will call a fascist sympathizer a fascist sympathizer.

Nothing really, its just inflammatory, and it will drive them farther towards the facist ideology as it will be the only place that will accept them.

Those lifelong GOP voters were already going to end up fully in cult mode in support of fascism, or they were eventually going to snap out of it. Calling them what they are doesn't change that.

that person wont identify as such, but they will recognize the attack on them, put up their guard, and then its done.

They put up their guard 8 years ago during the 2016 election. Nothing you say to them will change anything.

If you want to convince people of stuff, you have to find middle ground with them first and then broach topics from your point of view without speaking in antagonizing labels

There are some people who aren't worth convincing though. And they're called fascist sympathizers. It is not possible to convince them to change course.

In fact even using the word facist wont help, you may have better progress by getting them to agree the constitution is a marvelous document we should protect, they will agree, this is common ground, then you say something like “its a real shame it doesn’t hold the supreme court accountable for bribes though” or maybe “its a real shame that they are trying to give the executive branch unchecked power” as this is definitely not what the framers ever had in mind, its the exact opposite,. But this is how you argue stuff to affect change.

And right after that they'll vote Trump anyways.

Great is the enemy of good, anything that gets rid of the 2 party system while allowing multiple parties can and should be supported whole heartedly.

I never said perfection was required. I am simply saying, if we are going to spend effort on election reform it should be the best option. The resources needed to run an election is pretty much the same regardless of which type it is.
