This is every fucking conversation I have with my right leaning friends at this point.

Cut them off.

Gentlemen gentlemen that's just a actor on his way to a show.

Normalizing fascism.

The sooner we accept we've reached that stage, the sooner we can do something about it.

I'm not holding my breath.

Start calling them Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, to start.

Honestly, the simple act of doing that has calmed a lot of the dissonance in my brain.

It was literally the nazis who got centrists to "water-down" the word nazi.

They’re still working on it.

Intentional Stonetoss expression at the end?

He's just into war reenactment and also expressing that his heart went out to him (/s).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

heart went out

That cold, shriveled, thorny accessory organ flew across the room at match speed and took someone's eye out.

I’m a little worried about the distraction this is causing, distraction away from taking real action that can help. Like, felon and nazi are real and useful predictive attributes, but we kind of already knew some of that.

I feel like a better focus would be on taking action - donation, volunteerism, things your class valedictorian would do - to counter actual harmful or evil changes that are made in actual legislation. It sucks to have to prop up things that make America actually great ourselves because narrow minded politicians cut public funding. But to keep these things alive, we have to step up.

We already made our predictions known. Deep down we already know this isn’t convincing anybody new. The next step is taking action. Local non-profits want to hear from you. If it’s a cause that you think might be threatened, and you care about it, you might be able to help.
