      No, no, you see, the Republicans who worship a cult of action and engage in strident anti-intellectualism and encourage violence against minorities are definitely not fascist, they’re just Economically Anxious or whatever the fuck the in-vogue term is.

      because there are more than those two issues. but go ahead and feel the moral high ground you’re seeking.

        But aren’t those two issues true? And aren’t they extremely important?

        Thing is, in the current US system you can be either: Republican, Democrat, or letting other people pick your poison for you. So the first one is people who don’t want education and healthcare, the third is people who don’t care, and the second is everyone else.

        Obviously people don’t fit neatly into two camps, but the US right camp has trenched itself in so deep that it’s baffling it has more than 10% of voters.

          I never said they weren’t. And you’re still wrong. There’s a such thing as nuance, but you’re missing the point, so I’m just going to leave it here. Have a great black or white life.

            In what am I wrong? Aren’t US elections basically asking you to choose between a party that wants to cut healthcare and education and one that doesn’t, with no other options in between?
