      Two kinds of people.
      1
      I suffered to get where I am, no one should have to go through that, we can do better.
      2
      I suffered to get where I am, everyone should suffer like I did.

      The conservative mindset is #2, “No one should have it better than me!”

      Yeah, but that's not the decadence they're talking about. They mean things like "feeling like yourself" and "having good sex."

    I read it as “a lack of values and decadence” as in “the lack of decadence is a bad thing”.

  Democrats fear fascism, Republicans WANT fascism.

  I guess I’m worried primarily about internal enemies too, but I don’t think we’d agree on which entities are the problem for some reason…

  Republicans are certainly not worried about a lack of values and decency when they are going to nominate a criminal rapist and fraud artist.

  Democrats electoral strategy involves following Republicans to the right in a vain effort to capture some of their base

    They’re not stupid. The know it’s not worth chasing the left. The left is relatively small and HUGE into purity culture. Not the religious kind, but the kind where they’ll reject you for not being perfect enough. Just look at all the people whining that Biden is only reclassifying weed and not legalizing. The left as it is today will never be content with half measures, and will happily protest and not vote, so they arent worth the effort of chasing.

    So Dems have to chase the other end.

    If we want change, it’ll have to be leftists joining the Democratic party and changing from within. Because strategically, the left doesn’t help Dems win.

      When have they ever chased the left? Just because Democrats don’t understand the left, or are opposed to leftist policy, doesn’t mean the left is “into purity culture”. Maybe what you call purity culture is just different ethical standards than you have. Maybe just maybe try standing for something worthwhile and you’ll bring not only some leftists in, but also a big chunk of people that just can’t be bothered to vote at all. Otherwise, what’s even the point of winning if you’re just constantly chasing the Republicans right? Is that what you really want as a Democrat?

  to be clear: this poll kind of actually exists, but I want to know: did you edit any of that in, and if so, which part?

    Erm… is this really flowing over people’s heads? That is literally the definition of fascism if you look it up in an encyclopedia

      No that’s the whole point of the post

  “What do you fear?” is not very specific, is there another question the title is supposed to be referring to?
