    We were unified in the 30’s and these assholes weren’t homegrown.

    It’s a different climate now. We’re not prepared for it.

      Read history again. Half the Nazi ideology came from the states. (not literally half, just speaking lazily) Nazis DEFINITELY weren’t the only ones screeching about how the white man was superior…

      It was just Reconstruction 2.0… The US failed to purge evil yet again. There’s only one place a bigoted racist whos willing to violently enact their racism belongs, and it’s not breathing. The US has failed time and again to deliver actual justice to a single soul.

          I don’t know if I’m one of those people, but I’m a huge fucking fan of antifa. My grandfather fought fascism in WW2 and, call me old fashioned, that just kinda stuck with me.

            I’d guarantee your grandfather didn’t call everything he didn’t like fascist like you kids do.

              “everything”

              Sure buddy.

              Yeah the GOP aren’t fascists at all, they’re just a group of religious, authoritarian ethno-nationalists that oppress minorities, advocate violence, recruit the disenfranchised by blaming minorities who are simultaneously weak and a dire threat, and promising a return to an idealized, fictional past. That’s totally not the textbook definition of fascism at all. /s

                I didn’t say the GOP wasn’t fascist. You’re clearly reading what you WANT to see instead of reading for context.

                My point is an argument against the kids that call EVERYTHING they disagree with fascist. Including democrats/Biden.

                Stop sensationalizing everything everyone says and lean what nuance means. It’ll save you and everyone that will ever have to deal with tog a LOT of time.

              Us kids? You don’t know my grandfather. And you don’t know me. And apparently you don’t know math all that well, either. Mate, I have a grandchild of my own.

              I will be a dictator, but only from Day 1 is not Faschist?

              Storming the capital beating people to death and wiping shit on the walls is just a normal day?

                I’m talking about the asshats that say the democrats are fascists as well. If you’re not one of them, then you spoke out of turn.

            I meant to say “kids” and said, “you people” instead. I suppose you now want to line up your comrades and shoot me full of holes for my mistake?

            And I assure you I’m not upset about anything. I’m certainly not whining online about every and anything I see. If anything, I’m just baffled how someone can be so angry about everything, and think their road is high enough to hypocritically cast aspersions on someone else.

              Whos being a hypocrite here? You just sound like a judgemental asshole that doesn’t want to hear others’ opinions.

              I have a pro tip for you: If others’ opinions offend you, you don’t have to continue reading comments or reply.

                Woah there! No need to get upset! Just look back through this comment chain and realize that you invited yourself into it. Then take your own advice.

                Or, you know…. You can retreat to your default seeing of OUTRAGE!!!

                Gonna block you now. You have nothing useful to contribute.

                  You realize you’re the one complaining about hearing an opinion instead of debating the merits of the opinion… right? You’re the only one responding like that. Pathetic troll.
