They still need to learn consequence.

And we need to start being comfortable with naming and shaming again. These people are funding fascism both economically and ideologically.

    I agree. It's about time we stop the "they are just dumb" discourse. Being stupid doesn't exempt you from the consequences of your acts. They are dumb, but they are also evil. Even if they are just stupid, they voted for an asshole because he wanted to hurt other people. At some point, you stop being just stupid to be also evil.

    I agree. And the idea of dumb is condescending. Some might be, some can also be smart, or persistent. That is often overlooked, and thats a dangerous underestimation.

    Secondly the idea that taking the high road is the right thing to do, we have being doing that a long time and it’s been taken advantage off. There’s a big scale between being ideologically pure or a pacifist, to what you can still achieve with the ‘threat’ of consequence. People need start calling it what it is, it’s a fight and being ethically right is not going to save you from a bully.

    I could have said that they wouldn't know better in 2016 when he was a first timer and his discourse was not as unhinged as it is today. But now? Mate, you voted for him AGAIN after what he did, and you did it because of what he was promising. You'll have to excuse me if I don't take the high ground and just want you to suffer for what you brouoht to yourself (and to the rest of us).

    High ground, my ass. These magats don't deserve that we just "move forward and forget". Because if we do, next in line will be trump 2, unhinged bogaloo. Except he will be younger.

    Punishment might not be educative, but honestly, I'm well beyond willing to teach them. What they must understand is that fascism recieves violence as answer so it's not good to follow it.
