    Why don’t you give us your opinion on why both Jill and Joe surround themselves with fascists?

      American is a fascist nation and it’s leaders traffic with other fascists because they see eye to eye.

        To muddle our analysis by insisting that fascism is already here, or that the Democratic party is fascist, or that liberals are fascists or the midwives of fascism, or that Democratic party voters are voting for fascism, is to disarm ourselves against the fascist threat. It is defeatism to shrug our shoulders saying that both parties are fascist, and a disservice to the many antifascist militants in our own country who have been killed, injured, and locked away in prison while struggling against this extremely serious threat. To assume that January 6th was a hyped-up myth, or to belittle its gravity, is a dereliction of our most solemn duty as Communists and workers in the belly of the beast.

          This reeks of Feels before Reals. Refusing to acknowledge a thing because it signals a defeat isn’t a virtue, its a delusion.

            You’re entitled to your opinion, but I disagree with it.

            Refusing to acknowledge the nuance of a situation demonstrates a binary (dualistic) cognitive development level.
