    Just as Democrats aren’t a monolith, Republicans also aren’t a monolith.

      Republicans are 9 Nazis sitting at a table with 1 non-Nazi.

      This is also known as ‘10 Nazis’.

        I’m still in awe this saying made a comeback as strong as it did after 80 years. And somehow a lot of people fail to understand its impact.

        I’m only in my late 20’s and I’m scared I will have to face more and more Nazis in literally any country I decide to live in/visit. Because let’s face it, it’s not only Italy, Mexico, Japan and the USA with all time high far right movements.

          Take comfort that things go in cycles. Every time we go too far in one direction, people rebel too far in the other direction.

          Personally I’m hopeful this means the Republican Party is due to implode, and will need to rebuild based upon what used to be there fundamental principles of fiscal restraint, strong defense, investment in science, free trade, smaller government, actual family values. I hate supporting a billionaire, but Romney seems like the best example of what a Republican ought to be.

          Same for every other country that swung far right int authoritarianism, xenophobia, hatred, corporate shilling, profiting off government

        I don’t think neurotypical is very typical anymore. And rwa can be on either end of the political spectrum. I had to remind myself of this, as I age, rebuild neuronal connections. At this point, basic survival uses a lot of mental resources, which is where a lot of my problem occurs. I may or not be nt, but apparently, trauma, specifically complex trauma, has large symptom overlap with asd. Which leaves me in limbo, often, as evidenced by an earlier thread where you and I interacted. I didn’t know that i could subscribe to other servers via my particular platform, for example, until I got off my default view “all.” I did get off my default view and within the top five posts, saw an article about being able to subscribe to other instances via my platform. I wasn’t willfully obtuse, nor willfully ignorant. I just don’t spend a lot of time on lemmy and it’s my only social media. There are tradeoffs but it’s worth it.
