idk how else to downplay supporting trump at this point.

public shaming is the last line of defense we have against these types of people since polite conversation clearly doesn’t work once you put the red hat on. what alternatives do you suggest? 🙂

Wait, really? I know liberals tend to like weird pseudo-pacifism, but have y'all really committed so hard to it that you think "public shaming" is our last line of defense?

Get armed, and get trained. You may end up needing it. *We* may end up needing it.

    Perhaps I've misinterpreted your usage of "last line of defense"?
    
    These aren't regular conservatives that we're dealing with. MAGA is a fascist movement. The MO of fascists is to gain and hold power for their in-group by *any means necessary*. While it should never be our first option, we need to be willing and able to violently resist them, because they sure as hell don't have any qualms about violently subjugating us.

    Youre not going to convince a fascist not to be a fascist by making them feel bad about it. If that was possible, there’d be no communists.
    
    Organising in your community, your workplace, and looking after yourself is what i think our friend was getting at
