    One moved because they hated poor people and loved nationalism/fascism. The other moved to ensure their child has access to appropriate healthcare without interference from religious dogma and bigots. These two are not the same.

      You could also say they wanted space and backyards, which could also be negative but sounds much more reasonable. You can’t directly align nationalism with fascism. I mean yeah, it’s a core component, but nationalism isn’t that automatically fascism.
