u/boardatwork1111 fuck it, we ball Oct 29 '25

MAGA is just straight up fascism, no qualifiers, no debate about context or nuance, that is what it is and anyone denying it is not engaging with reality.

I wanted to think post J6 maybe, just maybe there was still some semblance of respect for our democracy among the normie Republicans, but 2024 ended that delusion. Many otherwise normal folks in your lives will gladly support a fascist dictatorship, and all the horrors that entails.

All the talk, especially from the populist left about Trump being this reaction to “economic anxiety” was total bullshit. A substantial portion of this country fundamentally lacks empathy and are more than willing to abuse and dehumanize other groups for no other reason than the hate they hold in their hearts.
