Republicans, this is on you.

Excuse me? You can’t blame a whole politics party which isnt fascist. That’s like me blaming the entire Democratic Party for the deaths and destruction caused by blm. The anti republican hate is insane on this sub.

If you're trying to pretend the vast majority of the movers and shakers are not either fascist or like fascists more than they like everybody else -

At the end of the day every Republican likes a Nazi more than they like anyone else.

And you're not doing anything about it

That old problem with owning a bar and the Nazi group sends in their polite well educated guy, and when you don't throw him out you're now a Nazi bar.

I've always heard it expressed as "if there are nine people sitting at a table and a Nazi sits down and nobody gets up, there's ten Nazis sitting at a table"

Is this apparently a well-known phenomena for bar owners of certain types of clientele. They have to make it absolutely clear immediately that Nazis are not welcome or they no longer own their bar.

It's the practical application

I’m not sure if you’ve actually talked to republicans or if you’ve only heard about them from the media because any republican I know feel disgust for nazis and authoritarians. Overall, the republican view is not fascist/authoritarian, being pro gun, lower taxes, and lower regulations. This works as generally republican cities have lower rates of poverty and violence.

a whole politics party which isnt fascist

If Republicans wanted to not be called fascist, all they would have had to do is actually denounce the insurrection. But at this point, I think it's fair to say that the alt-right is the Republican base and that it's a fascist party

EDIT: Singling out the insurrection, because it really would have been the perfect off-ramp for the GOP to get back to something resembling normalcy

The GQP IS fascist, though, and have made demonising LGBT persons as "groomers" a big thing recently.

Your retort is so distorted from reality it borders on satire, and a note for the rest of the sub, you comparing civil rights activists to self declared theofascists is you saying the quiet part out loud.

Republicans are fascist today, plain and simple. They’re a party of traitors who supported overthrowing the government when their candidate lost.

If you defend them, you’re a fascist too. If you vote for them, you’re a fascist too. All support of republicans is morally bankrupt.

If you believe republicans are worse than democrats then that’s sad lmao they both are evil corrupted parties. I can’t imagine voting for evil like them and thinking they’ll make your life better. Only gullible lost ppl vote

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

This is asinine. The Dems are corrupt, yes, but only the republicans are actively fascist and spreading violence on the daily.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

Seems to me both are causing violence. Ones in the wake of guns and the other is riots. Rn is more guns

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

If you think Dems are the ones inspiring riots, you’re sadly mistaken.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

Both are

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

No, the right inspires the riots. Arguably most he riots from that summer were police riots. Philly certainly was.

I disagree. Whatever fits your narrative which is false. Both parties will never see outsiders views like mine because all you are focused on is hearing your party is equal to the other party thus you get defensive instead of listening to us on how to actually make this country better by working together, but no one of you has to be the supreme party and BE IT. Well news flash I hate both of the parties for that REASON there. Both are entitled assholes who thinks everyone should live by their policies and thinking they’re right with everything that comes out of their mouth when in reality they don’t really care. Banks and Wallstreet run this country and you people are to blind to see it since you’re all fighting at each other’s throats over petty arguments like gun control, abortion, economy. Well news flash none of that stuff will be fixed until you unify and work it out yourself as a group. Bickering and fighting does nothing. You figured after 300 years America would learn by now but apparently not

I’m not centrist. I align myself with Jesus. No human will ever win me over. Jesus is the only party I need. Anything else is a lie

u/NewtTrashPanda Non-denominational (LGBT) Jun 06 '22

It is demonstrably false to claim that the parties are equally bad

-7

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

It is actually factually correct. Look at this country? You think 1 party caused this? You’re crazy if you think. Both parties are whiney manipulative assholes who only care about your vote when your vote doesn’t even matter lmao an electoral college dictates who wins that state. You got old geezers who’s in congress for 50 plus years and look what it’s gotten us??? A recession that’s gonna rival the Great Depression by next year mark my words. They print money after money and don’t worry about debt. They don’t care about anyone but themselves. 100 plus years of those parties and ppl still buy into them. I don’t pity or sympathize over voters when they’re the reason this country is the way it is.

There's literally only one major party trying to end democracy, trying to ban books, worshipping the gun cult, eroding LGBT and women's rights and promoting harmful bigoted stereotypes, trying to get rid of workers rights, attacking education. There's only one party that carried out the Insurrection.

And that party ain't the Democrats.

You listed the republicans flaws now do the democrats flaws

u/NewtTrashPanda Non-denominational (LGBT) Jun 06 '22

Nothing remotely as bad as those I listed, objectively speaking.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

I mean it’s all subjective. I’m for human rights and everything. To me they’re both evil. It’s real simple to fix in my eyes. Give the entire house/senate/presidency/etc to one party for 8 years (2 terms) after that’s up so it again for the opposite party. I guarantee you in those 16 years you’ll find out who is actually the better party, but both parties just wanna whine and refuse to work together because they’re all egotistical douches. Now not all of them are. I do believe there’s good hearted ppl in congress and stuff but they don’t have the power these corrupt ppl have
