I’ve been struggling with the cognitive dissonance that all of my family are veterans and most are somehow conservative thanks to religion. Wearing the uniform and voting for these traitorous shitbags is still baffling to me.
That shit will never add up to me. It’s bad enough to see the switch from, “support our troops!” fervor directly to Trump’s, “I don’t like soldiers who get caught,” and the various other outright scandalous things he’s explicitly said about the military and individuals who have served… I can’t even imagine that happening in a military family.
Just shows how insane this is. It’s like a fucking social contagion.
Not every German Nazi wanted to murder Jews or participated in atrocities. Plenty of Nazis were just “good Germans” who voted for them and lived day to day.
It’s been at least 20 years of watching this devolution for me and the ‘oh they don’t mean that, oh it was a joke, oh he’s just misled, oh they’re not really racist, you’re just being emotional, he’s obviously trolling’… is what’s got us here. Enough
I don’t think my girlfriend’s dad is a nazi, I think he’s gullible and confused.
If your girlfriend’s dad is sitting at a table with 10 Nazis, then you have a table of 11 Nazis.
Trust me, I get it. I’ve been grappling with the fact that my parents are fucking fascists.

Don’t make excuses for Nazis.
I think you’re still in the denial stage
I think you’re still in the “my emotions control my reasoning” stage.
Just move to the Ghetoo. Don’t be scared, don’t let your emotions control you.
Just get on the train. Don’t be scared, don’t let your emotions control you.
Just go into the communal shower room. Don’t be scared, don’t let your emotions control you.
Just take a deep breathe of the deadly chemicals. Don’t be scared, don’t cry like a little bitch.

People treat him like he’s gullible and confused, and he knows that excuse will work, and let him support Nazis with a clear conscience.
