Centrists can go suck a fat one. The primary reason we’re in this fascistic mess globally is the centrists’ aversion to being inconvenienced for the rights of their fellow people and for the future of the planet.
That’s what creates dictatorships, that’s what starts world wars, in summary, that’s what enables fascists.
Can you give me an example? Some purple states have protected reproductive health in response to the court overturning Roe. My perception is that the primary races are selecting increasingly polarizing candidates who’s goal is just notoriety/fundraising over governing. MTG is a prime demonstration of this effect.
Thank you for your reply. What I am trying to articulate is that I see the trend toward extreme candidates cascading through many government systems. The origin being at the legislature in America’s circumstance. The legislature holds nominations of judges in it’s hands now which is why we are seeing the buck stop at the court. Congress gets to bemoan the fact that the court is responsible because they aren’t offering any practicable solutions. Please note, I am not saying the court is without fault. There are certainly ethics rules issues at play and the court composition as it is now is due to the faults of congress in how the nomination process works.
My thought is that if primaries worked differently legislative candidates would run more moderate campaigns and we would see less brinkmanship at the court. Roberts I think is correctly concerned about the perception of the court and is genuinely worried about the last branch of US government losing the respect of the populace. With the decision on Roe v Wade, I think he should be.
Serious question, if you see this, do you disagree that fascism is on the rise globally, if not, how do you designate the rising trend of often religious right wing ideology based on racism, sexism and any anti-minority bigotry you can think of?
You sound like a 14 year old pseudo intellectual who thinks throwing around labels (incorrectly) in a message to a nobody on a social app somehow helps…anything. Serious answer? The press is feeding you red meat for clicks, twisting words to make the mundane sound sinister so you’ll read and click and click and read for that sweet sweet ad revenue.
Edit to add - Prime example being this article. Take a look at the headline, then at what he actually said.

Is actually a pretty good screening of unknown persons on social media, as it puts things into context from the damage done to online then offline society by Cambridge Analytica.

I said global. This is a human phenomenon, not specific to US politics.
Think of it like a “greed is the root of all evil” kinda statement.
