    If the other guy being a fascist running on a platform of doing fascism isn’t enough for you to snap into line, you’re a fascist trying to feel moral about being a fascist.

    Trump is denying the existence of the 13th and 19th amendments now and you’re actually still on about how politicians should have to “earn your vote?”

    Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white.

      Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white.

      You know that upholding and extending this system that props up white supremacy and imperialism hurts POC around the world, right? If you’re willing to tacitly support a genocide because you can’t imagine doing anything other than fill in a bubble at the voting booth, those amendments are already as good as gone. If those amendments are essentially voided, do you plan on just standing by to let it happen? The shitty people who want power know you’re willing to sign off on heinous things if the alternative is worse. The marginalized will continue to fight, die, and become martyrs in history book while people like you would rather act out of fear (justified or not) and let the marginalized fight the same deadly status quo that keeps you comfortable and keeps them threatened.

        Justified or not

        Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white.

        See also the part where you compared being able to make a comparative harm judgement to “the right to not be owned by another person and the right to vote while woman might as well not exist anymore!”

          Oh, so you didn’t catch that I was comparing your justified terror with republicans’ unjustified terror and how easily you can both be convinced to do terrible things.
