    When you become as reactionary as your opponents, then you’re no better than them. Thank you for not being like this.

      So If I am as vehemntly against murderers as they are about murdering, I’m as bad as the murderer?

      You’ve nicely summed up centrism.

        Walk softly, and carry a big stick. You have the Declaration of Independence and the Boston Tea Party to guide any future actions you take to stop your current fascist leader. DO SOMETHING. You’re fucking up my country too.

      Ever since the run up to Trumps first presidency I think you would agree that the republican party has become increasingly unhinged. And how has the democrats responded? With civility (in most cases.) And where has that got them? Your democracy is being dismantled, oversight removed, aid removed, trade wars with allies, etc. They got here by arguing in good faith, by being civil and not wanting to be labelled a reactionary.

      Oh, and if you honestly believe you’re no better if you’re being reactionary towards fucking nazi saluting cunts, then fuck you. From the bottom of my heart, get absolutely fucked

        On the contrary, the fascist bastards need to be called out. I wasn’t defending THEM, I was defending the average right of center voter. Those fascist animals should be put down. I’m not your enemy. They are.

            You have the Declaration of Independence, Second Amendment rights, and you know who they are.

            Thus you see the utter banality of evil and how it gains power and momentum. From people not actually DOING something.

            What are YOU going to DO to stop them, American?
