    “I hate Trump and his actions as much as anyone here, but…”

    Of course, this is the traditional phrasing used by us fellow legitimate, absolutely genuine, haters of fascism and their associated ideals - We just can’t stop qualifying it, we can’t help ourselves…

    “Women should have equal rights, but…”

    *“Love who you love, marry who you want, but…”

    “I’m definitely not racist, but…”

    “I support a person’s right to choose what they do with their pregnancy, but…”

    “The Nazis were out of line, but…”

    “UH, SEE… Now look what YOU made me do!!!”

    Will anyone else in this thread commit to stepping up and adding absolutely nothing to this conversation, in this person’s place, if they do leave Lemmy? Who’s going to do their part?

      That is an absolute misrepresentation of what I said. My only point is that we should be better than them, not legitimize them.

      But I get it, it’s easier to shit on slightly dissenting Lemmy users rather than take meaningful action.
