Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

    Thanks.

    I had this discussion with a big group over Labor Day. And the resulting replies were exactly what I was expecting. Everyone latches on to their fringe issue and goes as hardcore as they can on it.

    You show up with some nuance in a discussion, and you are the enemy. Period.

    The Internet is not a real place. Swing voters are real though, and they’re disgusted with this shit.

    (To clarify, I’ll likely never vote R, but I’m likely going 3rd party so I’ve still got a soul)

      I get it, another account of mine was banned from the entire instance for not speaking ‘right-think’
