I'm not gonna vote for him. He's not even a candidate yet. What should I be doing?
Laughing at Desantis’ ignorance or crying because republican voters are just as ignorant and eat that shit up.
Or my favorite… alternating between the two
Training and prepping. Historically, there's only been one way to stop fascist conservatism, and it's not something we are allowed to talk openly about until we're doing it.
Did the 6th of January insurrectionists do the right thing, given they believed they were fighting against an authoritarian government? Or should they have accepted the result of the democratic process even though they disagreed with it?
So when Hitler got voted in, the moral choice was to respect the democratic process and the completely legal murder of 12 million people. Got it
I agree in the event of a genocidal government, you throw them out, but obviously there needs to be a very high bar and a lot of safeguards to prevent partisan misuse. A losing Republican could claim a winning Democrat wants to conduct a genocide against unborn babies or something and the Jan6 insurrectionists would feel they were justified because of it.
What are the most damning pieces of evidence that Desantis will conduct a genocide if elected?
Should the 2016 election result have been overturned?
Republicans did claim that. They will lie about their opposition because a bunch of them are fascists. Respectability politics does nothing to solve that, fascists won't care how respectful you are to them. Fascists already felt justified in their attack on the capitol and many Republicans in power still refuse to acknowledge that it was not justified. Current conservative rhetoric regarding transgender people is explicitly genocidal.
Oh no. Is this the audience here?
Sorry if you wanted a fascist safe space, maybe try twitter,
lol
Making sure that all of the subhuman republicans around you are as uncomfortable as humanly possible. They live among us and far too many people tolerate them.
