Voting is fine as long as you are aware that it does nothing to materially prevent fascism.

There is no such thing as preventing fascism. It's a fight every generation has to win, no matter what government they live under. It's always about delay so we can fight it again tomorrow.

The last chance to make it better was the 2020 primary. That definitely could have been a fulcrum if Democratic voters weren't such idiots.

It's not about punishment. If time off is optional than it's a near guarantee that workers will be punished in some way for taking it. At a minimum bosses should have to pay out for unused time off, even though that that will certainly lead to some bosses penalizing those workers.

You sound like someone with no workforce experience whatsoever.

To me, a patriot always been someone who is willing to sacrifice of themselves to make the country better for everyone else. Whether that means sacrificing their life in battle, giving up significant wealth, or using their talents to help those in need.

MAGA is all about grievance, and what the country should be doing to service them. They are nationalists and identitarians, not patriots.

Traditional Catholics. It's actually several different groups of Catholics that have ported many of the social positions of evangelicals into Catholicism.

Don't forget the trad-caths. What evangelicals are to protestantism, trad-caths are to catholicism.

Let's not forget that prior to Jesus any punishments were over when you died. Permanent Hell was a new testament thing.

In 2024 35% of eligible voters didn't vote and 32% voted for Trump. That's not a perfect measure, but it's about as much of a case as can be made. I'm also far less inclined to move any of those 67% over to the "good" side than to move any of the 32% that voted for Harris to the bad side.

Honestly? Yeah, it's well over a majority. I wouldn't call them 'purely evil', but 'genuinely evil' is pretty much the norm in society. People just tend to compartmentalize their evil.
