      As much as I’m not a fan of this guy’s belief system, he has been speaking out against Trump for years now, this is just his latest.

        Should’ve been speaking out against all the Republicans before Trump. Republicans like to act like Trump happened in a vacuum. All he is is just the human form of the Republican platform for the past 60 years saying the quiet parts out loud

      It’s not too late. You will always remember what you did at this point. If Harris fucks up the economy or takes let’s immigrants in, how much is that to risk vs the alternative?

        Trump will fuck up the economy, and will probably encourage vigalante lynchings of anyone whose not nazi enough. they’ll start with the immigrants and when they run out of those go to LGBTQ+, or women or whoever.

        The problem they won’t have an answer to, and the reason fascism eventually always fails, is that eventually, you run out of people to hate. there is no one ideologically pure enough; no matter what standard the zealots take.
