Generalizing all trump voters as irredeemably bad is a barrier to antifascist organizing.
Some of trump's most affected victims voted for him and it's naive to think we don't need them to defeat fascism.
Its a bit late for the people who's leopards are eating their face to get upset that they voted for the leopards.
Especially when everyone else told them specifically "that leopard will eat your face."
If you voted for trump, quit crying and start protesting. Its basically the last hope we have of a peaceful resolution to this problem.
It feels natural to be angry at people who fell for fascist lies, but the fascists tell these lies because a certain percentage of people will always believe them.
It's more effective to acknowledge that sad reality, rather than blaming the people who make up that percentage.
It takes a lot to turn your back on a former identity, even when it's hurting you. Calling people stupid all the time makes that harder and gains us nothing.
No one here called anyone "stupid." What they did was say a bunch of things many Trump voters actually believe...
