    More specifically its the people that support and enable him. If it wasnt him it would be someone else. The undercurrents of fascism have been brewing since before the end of ww2

      I’m not saying you’re wrong, but calling Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables” is probably not the best way to get some of the more moderate, more-likely-to-be-wooed voters away from him on election day.

        The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer. Treat them gently, they pretend their bullshit is normal and get worse. Call them out, they act offended and get worse.

        They’re just bastards. If moral violence is the only language they understand, we might as well be honest about it, to their face.

      Hey, this isn’t desperate deflection. One of these comments is not like the others.
