    *taps the sign*

    Donald Trump, a fascist, is currently polling about equally with his opponent, who is not a fascist, because while his policies are fascist, he isn’t describing them as such. People are willingly voting for them because they think they’re a good idea.

    If he campaigned on “I am a fascist”, he would not be polling equally with his opponent.

    Please explain how these two ideas put together aren’t an example of what you advocate for in your post.

    You’ll also notice that me referencing polling figures doesn’t mean that I agree with the outcome of polling. Absolutely shocking that I need to make this clarification, but there we go, I suppose.

    Or, you know, continue desperately avoiding making an actual argument because of how obvious it is that you accidentally made a pro-fascism, pro-eugenics post and for some reason can’t accept that fact.

      That’s because US is and always has been a fascist state. Only difference with Trump is that he’s open about what burgerland truly stands for. Thanks for proving my point.

        have you forgotten what your point was? because a minute ago it was that you could trust the average person’s gut impulse when it came to political philosophy. now it’s that you can’t? are you feeling okay?

          I have not, I’m just pointing out that people are a product of their environment. And you live in a fascist nations, which is what shapes your fucked up views.

                  Where do you think your gut reaction comes from genius? Absolutely hilarious that you can’t understand that it’s shaped by your conditions. You just continue to highlight the quality of your intellect here. 😂

                    oh my god is that the point you were trying to make? i kind of assumed it wasn’t because it actually doesn’t help your argument in any way

                    like, okay, you’re shaped by your surroundings. so? so you can’t trust your gut because your surroundings could have shaped you to have the wrong gut reaction?

                    incredible that you’re actually arguing against yourself now
