It's because they are literal fascists.
Yeah, I've said it a bunch of times. Gonna keep saying it, because it's true.
Are you ready for the people who don't understand what fascism is to tell you that you've got it wrong?
It blows my mind that people can't accept that the Nazis had the same enemies that the Christian Nationalists do today: sexual, religious, and ethnic minorities & leftists. It's not a coincidence, it's a plan.
It’s the way history is taught in the US. We gloss over any wrong-doing by US leaders, whitewash American history while discussing pretty openly the failings of other states and forms of government…US educated children are (and I mean this word…literally) LITERALLY brainwashed into thinking that things like the vague concept of “fascism” existing only in Germany in the 30s-40s. If it’s not actual swastikas and red flags on every street corner with Jews being rounded up and killed by the millions…then it can’t be fascism.
Our education system is severely lacking in a lot of ways, but not knowing how to put history in proper context while explaining how everything that’s happened has led to today and the exact conditions we are in now is one of its gravest failures.
Not to mention, painting capitalism—a system that breeds people to viciously live in spite of others—as infallible and the final and only answer. That’s another horrible heavy dose of indoctrination that is just treated as a given.
Are you ready for the people who don’t understand what fascism is to tell you that you’ve got it wrong?
Yup.
It doesn't matter what they say...
Because they just fucking lie about everything.
Like a spouse that hits you and says it's because "they love you so much". That's obviously not the real reason, but if they were honest there might be consequences so they just say some random bullshit.
Indictments or not, 100% of these idiots would still be voting for trump
I don’t think that’s true. The indictments have actually caused a surge in support for Trump. Many of these voters are specifically supporting him because of the indictments, as horrifying as that is.
More proof we are living in an idiocracy.
It's worse than Idiocracy. In Idiocracy, the president recognized there was a problem and hired the smartest man to fix the problem. Later on he even stepped down as president and appointed the smart guy to take his place.
We could only wish the Republicans had someone with that much integrity.
Spoilers. 🤪
That summary leaves out A LOT.
Yeah, it doesn't even get into Upgrayedd.
That woman in the front row is bugging me out…
She’s got “scary Bilbo” energy
Check out zombie lady at the lower right hand corner too.
What. The sign with blue "Lord" and "President Trump" don't irk you? 😅😬
That’s certainly weird, but the lady up front sums up the whole cult of personality issue.
Trying to find any melanin in that crowd shot is literally the worst kind of "Where's Waldo".
Just such an insane photo in general.
The all white crowd? The absolutely insane looking lady, holding the scared looking baby? The "Thank You, Lord JESUS, FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP" sign?
Talk about hard-core delusion, yikes!
Predominately these are people that will vote anyone in that be burn down their house. The more evil the better as they dream of a chaotic revolution.
🤦♂️
Trying to scroll through that site is a nightmare of mobile pop ups and interruptions. Clearly they’re not about getting information on anything to people when an ad covers 70% of the screen centered over the article.
Despite Trump’s countless lies, 71 percent of Trump voters believe he is a source of “true” information, beating even their own friends and family, who ranked second with 63 percent
And they deserve to be cut out forever after this. There are no words for this kind of behavior.
Like a cult, we have to start treating them like victims instead of reasonable political party
Members of a normal cult are victims. Members of a cult with millions of members are a threat.
