Comment on Judge dismisses classified documents case against Donald Trump — CNN

  Fascism is a right-wing reactionary movement that takes power by subverting democracy.

  You know you’re lying, but you do it anyway because reactionaries only care about appearing to win an argument.

  We’ve had this discussion before, and you keep lying because you’re a reactionary who doesn’t care about the facts; you only care about appearing to win the argument.

  Republicans are the ones who nominated a candidate who says immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.”

  Republicans are the ones advocating for political violence, which is then enforced by their militias and “lone wolves.”

  Republicans are the ones taking away the rights of women and sexual minorities.

  Republicans are the ones who simp for a strongman fascist leader like good little goose-steppers.

  Republicans are the ones marching with the Nazis shouting “Jews will not replace us,” a crowd which contained “very fine people,” according to said fascist strongman.

  Republicans attacked the capital building to try and overthrow a lawful election.

  You don’t fool anyone with your lazy bullshit. The only people who agree are also radical reactionaries.

    You describing their goals to them will not shame them like you hope. You’re validating them. You hear them loud and clear, we all do. When we think we’re “pointing out the problem” we’re just enumerating their to-do list. They point at things like universal healthcare, gun reform, worker’s rights, and DEI the same way. We don’t see any issue with listing our wants either.

    There’s no point talking to them. They’ve made their choice. They’re beyond saving. Facts don’t matter if you’ve made up your mind.

      Oh I know. I’m not really talking to them, I’m talking about them.

      They have a completely different set of values, one not based on morality but instead in power.

      They believe everything in politics is zero-sum: if there is a liberation movement or somebody gets a right recognized that should have been all along they see it as a loss for those who have privilege.

      There is a reactionary streak running through all of American history: from the slaveholders who went to war to defend their human property to the America First movement in the 30’s to the KKK’s terror campaigns all the way through the neo-cons and the MAGA fascists.

      There’s a reason why they want to confuse the issue, and my policy is that when reactionaries tell you what they don’t like there’s a reason to keep doing it.

        When they play by the rules, they lose. That’s why they attack voting rights with their gerrymandering, voter de-registration, and limited polling sites. Rejecting democratic processes is how the party will continue living. As for this little corner of the Internet? They think they can set the rules to only allow positive conservative news and topics. But democracy wins again and all the up voted articles highlight conservative shortcomings. There isn’t a conservative opinion in here with a positive score but that’s just another election they want to control.

        “Tee hee, we’re stripping people’s rights away!”

        And reactionaries wonder why they can’t get laid.
