I haven’t seen such enlightened centrism on display for a long time. The Overton window has moved so far to the right in the United States in the past 10-20 years it’s frankly terrifying. One wonders what this guy thinks are the extremist positions.
Is…is this guy arguing that we’re equally likely to fall into a communist dictatorship as a fascist one? Please, sir, school me on your definition of communism. Because it seems to me that the 2024 election is a choice between the business-as-usual US Government, for all its (manifold, disastrous) faults, and fucking Looney Tunes.
That's not even slightly true! There are plenty of WWII-era Looney Tunes shorts that show it to be explicitly antifascist.
At this point, I wish Looney Tunes was an option!
He didn't say that explicitly, but now that you point it out, that would be a simple corollary of this dude's take on the shape of polarisation in America. And it's obviously a dumb conclusion.
