and “you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”

Liberals need to ask why the fuck their leaders are so keen on catching fascist flies, but so nakedly hostile to LGBTQ / Muslim / College Debtor / Migrant Laborer / M4A voters.

the only thing that does anything (however little) with bigoted fascist narcissists is shaming them with mockery and ridicule

"But they will just their heels in harder, so we can't do anything at all!"

After years of "we're the real patriots"... Still saying it.

Nationalism is a primary foundation of fascism.

Destroy Nazi's yes, but there are way more people who are more like middle right who you can still talk and compromise with. It is not for nothing that countries like NL have so many parties that you can vote for. There is more than just left or right. There isn't anything more than being a Nazi or a Nazi hater

thx ill add it

Trump gave a speech at Fort Bragg (renamed back to Bragg after a WWII paratrooper with the same last name as the original namesake, a confederate general). He complained about people flying flags for other countries. He also said that we have contempt for the flag, that anyone who burns one should go to jail for a year

Meanwhile flag code says that a flag which touches the ground should be burned and they proudly fly confederate and nazi flags

The pillars of patriotism in the US's popular imagination are freedom and opportunity. It's ridiculous to say that any invocation of patriotism is civil religion or fascism, especially when people like AOC are right to say that they're the real patriots. Progressives need to reclaim the term because they actually do stand for the ideals that the American public thinks of when they think of patriotism. Meanwhile the GOP and power brokers at the top of the DNC are obviously enemies of the people who have embraced fascism, trample on constitutionally protected rights, and set up an economy that restricts people's opportunity as much as possible. The contrast couldn't be clearer and it needs to be addressed.

I gotta ask... why do you post this link in like every other comment?

Reason 1433544 the left will never win.

One GD thing and this is how you act. The response to this about agreeing 51% of the time is nail on the head. It's a shit system but maybe try to fix it instead of being indignant all the time.

Some people obviously care. You obviously do.

Anytime you say no one cares, it really means "I care very deeply and you're hurting my feelings"

I do. I care. Am I no one? Some people may think so.

At least I'm capable of using proper punctuation. There might be hope for me yet.
