    Yeah this is one of those things that doesn’t really require an explanation.

    Normal people know exactly what is happening.

    MAGA also knows exactly what is happening.

      Centrists on the otherhand confidently say to their kids “Nah, we shouldn’t risk overreacting let us wait until it is too late before we get worried!”

        Right? I keep hearing, “They’re not fascists/Nazis [yet] because they haven’t done [blank].” Are they waiting for when people are getting loaded into ovens? I feel like that’s well past the point of no return.

            ? Are you just stupid? Do you genuinely not believe that any centrists think this way? You would be so confidently wrong to the point where you no longer get to have a valid opinion on any thing, because I would have to double check every claim you ever make, that’s how stupid that claim would make you.

              This whole exchange:

              Everyone is saying it all the time!

              No they’re not.

              I hear this all the time.

              No you don’t.

              Well, some people, somewhere are saying it, I’m certain they are.

                I just want to clarify.

                You think that, when someone accuses the current administration of being Nazis, there AREN’T a bunch of self-described “centrists” that defend the Nazis and say that the left is overreacting?

                To clarify, THAT is what is being talked about. Is THAT what you think isn’t happening?

        Where are you hearing this, IRL? Not once during this administration, or the last, have I heard “overreacting” except from the right.

          Centrists

          Not once … have I heard “overreacting” except from the right.

          Cut a “centrist” and a right-winger bleeds.

        Are they even bothering with the pardons or just letting them out?

    Many of them are female and/or non-white. The rest aren’t diehard Trump supporters or considered likely to rebel against illegal orders from Trump.

      Normally I would agree with this take, but a corrupted US military is a problem for the whole world. See Venezuela.

    I hope someone is finding them and bringing the tolerant among them into the revolution.
