Could've spared us all some time by replying with the bold from the get go. Instead, you go out of your way to call me a liar who doesn't acknowledges reality.. After dishonestly making a caricature of my position. I'm not interested in what you have to prove to yourself or to others. I open with an honest question; acknowledging my biases, and my limited context in the matter. And you don't have the decency to reply with the same level of respect?

Maybe I should take sirthom's comment more seriously. I doubt you are interested in persuading opinions with this approach to conversations.


As for the bold,

"Democrats go out of their way at every opportunity to work with moderate Republicans."

In recent years, this couldn't be farther from the truth.

"Obama basically stalled his entire presidency trying to negotiate with moderate Republicans to pass anything and the whole party marched in lock step with the fascists who called him a Kenyan and then went on to elect the guy who brought the party even closer to fascism."

This somehow justifies demonizing a group of people? Look 'wrongdoing' isn't exclusive to one party. I've still haven't received an answer of 'if you believe the demonizing approach was the correct one'. And I don't think I will. From my perspective, it wasn't. Regardless of republican 'wrongdoing'. Unfortunately, you are not up to the task of persuading readers.

None of that is contradictory with what I said.

In fact that summary of fascism pretty much exactly describes the modern Republican parties ideals

Who was the fascist Republican dictator opposing Obama's agenda?

Who were they throwing into prison?

Whose speech was squelched?

Whose rights were trampled "for the good of the country?"

Regimented society? How's that coming?

First point is lol. Be less triggered. We aren't in full blown fascism, but that's the goal.

They threw marked journalists in prison for the crime of covering the BLM protests. Unmarked federal agents in unmarked vans avoided basically all accountability at the pleasure of the president even when it was provable they've weren't engaged in violence. Similarly police were given cover even though it was shown in court they were actively targeting journalists.

Bronda Santos signed into law and has been selectively Enforcing Laws against protesting depending on if he likes the message of the protesters or not.

So that's who they're throwing in jail. Those are the only 2 in the Republican party who currently have a shot at the next presidential nomination. Do you want more? Also covers whose speech are squelched and rights violated.

There's more, lots more, but these are just easy examples from two of the most prominent people driving the agenda in the party

old fart-left fascist strategy, call others that which you are as a means of camouflage

Fascism depends on ultra nationalism. Do lefties hate America or are they ultra nationalist?

no it doesnt

Venezuela is the standard-bearer for left-wing populism. You get there quickly by passing the sort of economic policies that Bernie Sanders, aka the 2nd or 3rd most popular Democratic politician in the country, brought to relevance on the American left. What you said is true enough, though, that battle hasn't been won.

The "woke" crusaders are your modern day Red Guard. Revolutionary fervor, ideological inflexibility, and a penchant for truisms and non-falsifiable belief systems.

posting in a Netflix gaslight thread

absolutely, theyre ultra lgbtq nationalists, ultra radical leftism nationalists, ultra anti-white hatred nationalists & thus supporting any non-white ethno nazi movements
