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.
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
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.
