    So we’re using Bush era torture to justify inaction against fascism? Idk man seems a little weird.

    I get voting isn’t enough and half the problem is people often limiting their involvement in society to a ballot once every four years, but I’d really like to prevent The Palestinian Chair from being used on anyone deemed an enemy of the state by a man who is talking about deporting 11 million people.

      Democrats have been wholly inactive on facsism. Weve held power for four years and should have done literally anything about the looming fascist threat instead of sitting on our hands. The fact that Trump is even on the ballot, and not behind bars, is a damning indictment of Democrats’ spinelessness in the face of problems.

      It should be horrifying that we’ve let democracy be on the ballot.

          good guy

          Liberals will pretend to care about genocide, going on about “lesser evil voting”. But they always end up letting the mask slip like this.

            Oh noes I consider the guy standing between democracy and a Christian fascist tyranny to be the good guy, what a mask slip moment 🤣

            Look you MAGA trolls always give up the game. You have obvious tells. One of them is that you take liberal phrases (like “mask off”) and try to use them against us. But you’re too goddamn stupid to know how to use the phrase, or else you would have been using it in the first place.

            It’s always the case. Fascists do heinous fascist things. Smart liberals find a succinct and accurate way to describe the latest fash bullshit. Fash takes that term and starts using it a lot, but poorly. Then that term leaks into the “hello there fellow leftists” trolls talking points.

            You’re just too stupid to pass. Leave it to the Russians. They’re professionals. Stick to your strengths, like intimidating Black people on election day.

              Yeah, like genocide. But of course, to liberals, commiting genocide doesn’t stop you from being a good guy.

                  For anyone else reading this, this is exactly why I have zero sympathy for liberals, and why they deserve everything Trump might do to them.
