We should start beating these people who seem to think Nazis are cool. Make it painful to be a bigot.
I just wish we could beat them at the fucking ballot box first. Right now it looks like the nazis are a majority in this fucked up shithole country of ours.
Don't fall for it. The majority are apolitical. If the dems had given anything to regular people the extra non voters that came out against trump in 2020 would have come out again. The failure of democrats to bring out voters doesn't imply the non voters are Nazis. It implies the dems aren't really that worried or they would have made concessions to the regular citizens instead of making sure "nothing will fundamentally change".
I'm afraid you're the one who has fallen for it...
There were plenty of reasons to vote for the Democratic candidate in 2024--climate change, affordable housing, healthcare, global stability, a continuation of what is actually a solid economy (especially when you look at markets, GDP growth, take home pay, employment numbers, and the latest inflation numbers).
But, funny enough, that's all irrelevant to anyone with half a brain.
The real reason to vote for Harris in 2024 was as a means of voting against Trump and the fascist clown posse known as the Republican Party. This is the part where I could spend an hour writing our all of the reasons that Trump and the Republicans have been, continue to be, and will be bad for the country and the planet, but if you haven't figured that one out by now you're beyond help just like all the people who made the terrible decision to allow this to happen.
I don't blame the politicians for being politicians--that's like blaming a dog for barking. I have reflected deeply on this past election, and the only conclusion that I can logically reach today is that it is the American people who are to blame for putting these terrible politicians there in the first place (either by voting for them OR failing to vote against them).
One day America will cease to exist, and if there is anyone left on Earth at all, their history will accurately show that it was the American people who dumbed themselves to death.
