I lived in the US for nearly my whole life until I fled earlier this year specifically because of Trump's (and his supporters') threats against my communities. His administration is openly composed entirely of Nazis. Anyone who continues to support him is a Nazi, which currently sits at 39%. You don't openly call for the death of all Latino and trans people unless you're a Nazi. So yes, that 39% is all Nazis.
Yeah you need to talk to people in the real world, it will do you some good and allow you to re-calibrate your perspective to one more based in reality.
Nobody wants death, as hard as that may be for you to believe. Your conclusion is the one you arrive at when being chronically online and only seeing the worst of the worst (whether true or not or exaggerated partial truths) designed to enrage you to engage and drive algorithms.
Real people are not the political figures you see online, and the stances and beliefs of political figures cannot be automatically applied to every person who voted for them, as much as you might like that. No person is their government or their country.
You have the mindset of somebody looking for a reason why it's okay to kill 39% of the US population, which ironically gives you something in common with Nazi ideology.
If we keep calling them Nazi's and they keep calling us radical whatever's, we just end up killing each other. I think we should not do that.
You need to realize that the things you see and experience are not seen and experienced by other people and vice versa. We're all operating off of the information we have and our personal experiences. If you had the information and experiences a typical MAGA conservative had, guess what, you'd be a MAGA conservative. Don't let algorithms and political polarization make you lose your grip on humanity and treat your neighbors like scum.
This shit is why we're so divided.
“If you had the information and experiences a typical MAGA conservative had, guess what, you’d be a typical MAGA conservative.”
Well POC and LBGTQ people don’t get the privilege of the same experiences MAGA conservatives have. - You live in a bubble
I guess racism and Christian nationalism over a peaceful life for all, is why we’re so divided.
