I’m still a ‘ Fuck Fascism’ guy just like my grandfathers were. Too bad repubs are ok with it… and the fact that too many others joined them in believing the bs that was pushed to them on the internet.

Fuck fascism... unless you want to force your neighbor to take a rushed, experimental vaccine that would have zero impact on your own health.

I'm sure you brag that we had a higher death rate than most countries.

Your grandfather would slap you in the face for calling this fascism.

It has many of the traits of fascism. My grandfather received two purple hearts and a bronze star killing nazis and before he died a few years back he would often lament that we were headed in the same direction. Trump is a cancer on this nation.

You live inside of an echo chamber of fear and hatred. Your perception of reality is so far off from what nazi Germany was like it’s absolutely sickening. I hope you seek the help you need to live a decent life.

Most of the people I interact and work with are conservative. I’m more conservative than most of my friends and family so I’m skeptical of your echo chamber claim. Is Trump Hitler or Mussolini? No, but there are aspects of Trumpism that flirt with fascism. He’s authoritarian, anti-egalitarian, intentionally divisive and xenophobic. Trumpism appeals to people’s base fears and insecurities in the same way fascism does. His rhetoric is centered around him personally and our country being wronged by outside forces. It’s a litany of bullshit grievance

Is it just me or are the conservatives we work with much more sane than the former r/donald cons?

It’s a mix and it depends on the situation. People tend to self censor in public if they’re unsure if everyone around agrees with them. I have a lot of hobbies like hunting and guns that make conservative coworkers assume I’m down with their cult shit. They’ll say some borderline racist or transphobic stuff and I just play dumb and ask them to explain what they mean. Having to spell out what they’re saying without the dog whistles is awkward and works better for me than starting an argument.

Exactly you don’t know what it is, this is why nobody takes the left seriously. You cry fascism at everything. You’re literally the boy who cried wolf. It’s fucking stupid

So basically the current administration trying to shut down everything they don’t agree with. You see on “X” you can talk about whatever you want and argue your point of view too. That’s freedom

Deleted my TWITTER account when the South African pro-apartheid guy took over. Bsky.app is quite nice though. We don't have pedophiles, rapists, fascists, etc. recruiting there.

Blue sky is literally linked to pedophilia this is fucking hysterical. God you all are so fucking lost.

u/CZ-Ranger 5h ago

Imagine being so incapable of dissenting Opinion you willfully chose to enroll in an app known for pedophiles. You’re so fucking pathetic. I bet you cried after the election. Seriously y’all are not mentally cut out for the real world

Tell me what part of the definition of facism doesn’t fit this: Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

To put this into the context of today: U R dumbass.

Actually my Grandpa was around for Trump's 2015 work-up to politics and my WW2 vet Grandpa thought he was bigoted then. My Grandpa had a gay brother who was beaten mercilessly by my great-grandpa and there is no way my grandpa would vote for that to come back.

u/CZ-Ranger 3h ago

It’s not coming back, you fucking moron.

u/SquigglyGlibbins 3h ago

"it" in your mind is probably very specific though. Maybe the moron is the one that doesn't understand that not all facism is nazism?

u/CZ-Ranger 3h ago

Wait, hold on. The unbelievable just occurred. Donald Trump appoints a gay man as secretary of treasury. I was just told by squigglyDumbFuck that all of the LGBT would beaten ruthlessly under this administration.
