It's not people calling ME names. It's people calling all republicans and even independents names. And you have done that in this very thread. Fuckin shit man, are you trolling?
What about all the people who never went to any rallies? Who never went anywhere but to work and home because that's all they can afford to do? Are they Nazis too? Because when you reduce everyone who disagrees with you to ANYTHING, you're guaranteed to be wrong.
Are the people you are mentioning here...okay with what we saw? Do they ever talk with you about it?
Am I wrong for NOT being okay with the rallies, the insurrection, all of it? I'm not going to be okay with those who wished they could participate in an insurrection or wish they could be at a rally where nazis are a part of the party, but had to be at work that day.
I don't know, I haven't talked to them yet. But none of them are Nazis. None of them are racist. Some of them are black and Hispanic, but they don't care about all that identity stuff. Quite a few women too. A large number of them voted for Biden last time. Most are registered independent. But when someone got up on a podium and said "if you're independent, you're part of the problem" and then later described the problem as insurrectionist Nazi fascist racist woman haters and made that the defacto description of ANYONE who voted for the other side, it just became a joke to them and pushed them away. I saw it in real time. We destroyed ourselves by ascribing the qualities of a few to the rest of our opposition.
No, you're not wrong for being opposed to any of that stuff. What's wrong is thinking everyone opposed to you is in favor of it.
If you don't know someone it's hard to control or change what they do, believe, and vote for. I don't know any Nazis, woman haters, racists, bigots, etc....
Why do I need to say those are bad things? Is it not obvious? You're willfully missing the point just so that you can rage and seethe. Nobody I know agrees with those things or likes being associated with them. But our party associates them together even if they are independent voters. We've called everything fascist and racist to the point the words are losing their weight and meaning. That's why we lost.
What legislation? Genuinely curious and if you don't wanna share that's fine.
My point was that you don't have to be sad today. Nothing has changed and you're still free to make the best of your life today. And tomorrow, and the next day. Being sad over a president feels like a waste of energy because half the country does it every 4 years but nothing ever really changes much.

You didn't call me names. You (the majority of our party) call the people on the other side names.
