It’s pretty wishful thinking to think Proj 2025 and all the other MAGAs are going to fade away after the orange man is gone. Did you not see De Santis’ support before Trump entered the race?
No, the person most likely to end democracy will advocate rolling back freedoms to ‘preserve’ it, or to punish the wicked people that are considered their political enemies. The most likely person won’t be a Democrat, but will almost certainly be a leftist that starts their own populist political party
Fascism has always been a right wing ideology. While leftists have made some terrible mistakes, you shouldn’t pretend they are the only or main threat to democracy.
Leftists don’t believe America can be saved, they wouldn’t “roll back freedoms,” whatever the heck that means, they would dismantle the state and build up a new one.
If I have a bowl of rice, and one of the grains is actively trying to end my way of life, I don’t mind when someone shoots at it with an assault rifle.
First of all: rice doesn’t have that kind of agency
Second of all: shooting at a grain of rice in your bowl with an assault rifle is many times more likely to hit you than that specific grain of rice
Third, if that’s REALLY the best analogy you could think of, you should just stop the whole “communicating your thoughts to other people” thing. Evidently it’s not something you’re ever going to get the hang of.
Fourth and finally: a propos of nothing except the fact that I just listened to an episode of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, horses are overrated, and not just by the McElroy brothers.
So, for all your haunted ideals, at the end of the day, you are no better than him. You are a narcissistic person that gets a perverse pleasure from the suffering of your perceived political enemies
Well, what if the guy that took Hitlers place was every bit as evil, but wasn’t a bumbling idiot in military matters? Worse yet, what if he gave his scientist budgets and told them to make super weapons with no real interference? The first atomic bomb could have dropped on Bristol or Leningrad, instead of Hiroshima
If your feelings weren’t mixed you either don’t value human life or you don’t value democracy.
Edit: a bystander was killed and so was the 20 year old gunman. This is the human life I’m referring to.
is Democracy really just a choice between an evil and a good? the USA needs way more politcal parties than just two.
The USA needs ranked choice voting
What? The current events are an attempt on someone’s life with the goal of saving what semblance of democracy we have left.
Did y’all seriously miss the memo? It’s pretty obvious what he meant if you haven’t been under a rock for the last 24hrs.

There’s a lot of bullets in the country, Republicans made dire of that. Shame if it backfired on them.
Paradox of tolerance: Trump will end democracy and even more lives.
There is no way to know if he wouldnt have just turned into martyr and help elect someone even worse

I don’t even know the news how can I feel mixed
Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.
I see. Thanks
We aren’t running out of humans, and we don’t live in a democracy…
Turns out you don’t have to be running out of humans to value human life.

Define ‘Human’
FTFY. They were attending a Trump rally. They weren’t just a bystander. They were complicit.
You are truly the epitome of an evil person. God help us if someone like you ever gains any real political power
Trump has frequently called for the violent death of his enemies. Everyone at that rally supported this position.
I don’t feel bad at all for the thing they want to happen to others happening to them.

Would you kill Hitler, or throw aside your gun for the sake of “civility?”
Would killing Hitler make you “no better than Hitler?”
No, it means the next guy to commit atrocities will have a different last name. Your cartoonish views on morality is tiring
Gotcha, you would in fact let Hitler be.
Well, what if the guy that took Hitlers place was every bit as evil, but wasn’t a bumbling idiot in military matters?

I’ve been called worse by better people.
You don’t have to convince me. I believe you

Sorry but most politicians don’t care about democracy either, just enriching themselves and close friends
I don’t have to have feelings about something to value it.
