Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.
I can’t possibly fathom the lack of thought that goes into claiming that voting against a fascist authoritarian who has repeatedly stated he will go after and imprison his political enemies, is just as bad as voting for that. Anyone who tries to claim, STILL, that it’s a both sides issue is borderline not intelligent enough to even vote; but of course one of the best and worst things about democracy is that everybody gets a vote, no matter how horribly misinformed and stupid they may be.
And that’s not even going into the absurd victim complex. “The entire world hates you” absolutely laughable. Just admit that you’re well off enough to not give a shit about anyone else and be done with it.
You’re just proving my point. Thanks.
EDIT: Seriously…what about anything you just wrote do you think will sway me to your side of any issues? The tone is hostile, the sentiment is fucked up, and you clearly didn’t read a word I said.
That…that comment right there is why people are so radicalized. It’s going to be a brutal few years for America.
Don’t pretend like anyone being nice to you was going to sway your opinions. This take is even worse than your both sides bullshit.
If you need to be “swayed” to the side that isn’t voting for a borderline fascist government then you’re as daft as op says. Both sides bad, except one side has a slingshot pointed at your kneecap while the other side has a gun pointed at your face. I’d rather not get hit with either but if I had to choose 10/10 I’m taking the rock to the knee.
I think it will be a lot longer than that if Trump gets elected. Or anyone else willing to gut and dismantle most of our institutions.
