I kinda hate this framing because it makes it seem inevitable and ever-present. Even on the right it's more like 5% true hate, 28% normal Republican who does not find true hate disqualifying. There's plenty of reason to discredit that or disagree with it etc but it's not the same as being in the 5%.
I was just listening to an interview with an evangelical who was lesser-of-two-evils on Trump, he'll vote for Trump but he's not a True Believer.
But if the 28% are still voting for the true hate, how does that not make them complicit in what the hateful government is doing? Knowingly voting for the hateful option puts the 28% in the same pen as the 5%.
he’ll vote for Trump but he’s not a True Believer.
If you support fascists, you are a fascist. Period.
How does this line up against the paradox of tolerance, though?
I'm just thinking out loud here, but a watered down fascist-accepter is perhaps the lesser evil compared to one who's completely intolerant of possible fascism?
I'm honestly not trying to call you out or point the finger, and not interested in a big argument about it, but ... Actually, I'm probably over thinking it and you probably threw the comment out there on a whim?
lol this doesn’t make yall seem any better
I think they're saying that it's something we can solve, not that we're good.
I'm pretty sure the only thing that would solve this is re-education camps for all registered Republicans lol. Those people are divorced from reality. Even the never trumpers don't believe in climate change.
