    The fact that you have no idea what my political leanings are or who I’m supporting, nor would you ask and you feel ok calling another person a fascist simply for pointing out the behavior on both sides says more about you than it does me.

      It’s pretty clear you’re okay with propping up actual fascism. That alone makes the rest of your arguments fall flat.

      No one with any actual principles is going to listen to the side screaming for the annialation of trans people. (One of many reasons to reject far right ideologies entirely.) How is that so hard to understand for you?

        Honestly I try to be centrist but I lean a little left. I think socialized healthcare is good thing, but I think it should be run at the state level cause each state will have different needs. I think bodily autonomy should be a right for everyone. I think that there should be a limit on millionaires. Hell I think they should put a limit on CEOs too like you can only earn x times the lowest paid employee. I think gun crime is an issue but I think focusing on the tool used instead of the socioeconomic, mental, and societal factors is a mistake. I want us to do something about or deficit but both parties seem intent to just spend spend spend these days. And I definitely don’t think attacking others over their beliefs or sexual orientation, is OK. If I had to choose a party I’d say I lean more towards the Democrats

          I try to be centrist

          There’s your problem right there: if you try to mold your principles to fit a false narrative of “the middle point is always rational”, you’re going to risk developing some highly irrational ideas, such as thinking that fascism is normal conservatism and it’s calling it out that’s abnormal.

          think socialized healthcare is good thing, but I think it should be run at the state level cause each state will have different needs

          Or such as thinking that the politicians in charge of states like Mississippi, Texas or Delaware** are honest and always put the needs of the majority of the people over the wants of rich donors.

          I think gun crime is an issue but I think focusing on the tool used instead of the socioeconomic, mental, and societal factors is a mistake

          Or such as thinking that the many other causes of violent crime (all of which need to be addressed, of course) aren’t greatly exacerbated by guns being easier to access than health care, voting, or library books that acknowledge the existence and value of minority groups.

          I want us to do something about or deficit but both parties seem intent to just spend spend spend these days

          Or thinking that the deficit and how much political funding happens matters anywhere near as much as WHAT’S being funded

          ** Delaware is the most corporation-friendly of all the states. That’s why almost all of them are registered there regardless of where they’re actually based.
