Fuck yeah, has been (mostly) my approach and suggestion since 2016, don't be friendly with fascists. Now, the tricky thing has been sorting real fascists from those just so grossly misinformed by the propaganda network that they're basically decent but brainwashed. After 2024 though, doesn't matter, there's no way you don't know who he really is at that point, and if you supported him you should be shunned.
Nah, way earlier than 2024. In fact ever since the "grab them by the pussy" tape was released before the election in 2016, these miserable bastards knew what he was about and still chose to support him. No decency to be found among them from that point on.
Unfortunately, we are at a point in human history where there is no functional distinction between smart fascists and stupid fascists. The end result is still propagation of unbridled evil and it cannot be tolerated regardless of the origin.
I've boycotted Republicans/Conservatives since at least 2000, when they decided that it was perfectly acceptable to steal the presidency.
Once they fully adopted the "ends justify the means" approach, I considered Conservatism to be a character flaw. I wouldn't be friends with people who physically abuse their spouses or their children, and by the same logic, I won't be friends with people who abuse our society, our government, or our citizens.
you would be surprised, only about half of the trump supporters I've met know about and support him for being fascist (among other things). The other half think that the deportations and basically anything negative about trump is fake news, a smaller amount also think they are voting for an imaginary non-maga republican party.
I don't see how that makes any difference at all. Trump himself has told them what he is about at his rallies, completely unedited and unfiltered. They support him because of that.
The Germans have a word for the people who supported Hitler for purely economic reasons and not at all because of the fascism or genocide.
That word is Nazi
"I voted for Mr Hitler because he would be good for the economy, but I didn't go in for all that Jew-killing stuff. You can't blame that on me."
Yeah, well, those people can die suffering, too, they're still Nazi supporters ffs
It doesn't matter at this point. They are adults, and decisions have consequences.
more crucially, not making decisions also has consequences, if you stand by as someone punches your friend in the face, you're not their friend.
