Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

    You’re just proving my point. Thanks.

    EDIT: Seriously…what about anything you just wrote do you think will sway me to your side of any issues? The tone is hostile, the sentiment is fucked up, and you clearly didn’t read a word I said.

    That…that comment right there is why people are so radicalized. It’s going to be a brutal few years for America.

      Don’t pretend like anyone being nice to you was going to sway your opinions. This take is even worse than your both sides bullshit.

      If you need to be “swayed” to the side that isn’t voting for a borderline fascist government then you’re as daft as op says. Both sides bad, except one side has a slingshot pointed at your kneecap while the other side has a gun pointed at your face. I’d rather not get hit with either but if I had to choose 10/10 I’m taking the rock to the knee.

        Agreed, when you can look and see one side has the support of the KKK, Proud Boys, and the 3%ers on top of chanting “Jews will not replace us” and dubbed “very fine people” by the leader of said party. And on top of that they also have those that believe in Jewish space lasers, lizard people, and pedophiles everywhere drinking children’s blood. They believe in the “attack on Christmas” and Jews bringing Armageddon where they will all be saved.

        If you can look at any of that and be like, “well the other side…” then you have chosen a side already, and it’s not center. It’s probably also time for some self reflection if that isn’t who you are.

      I think it will be a lot longer than that if Trump gets elected. Or anyone else willing to gut and dismantle most of our institutions.
