Please go back to the start of this conversation. I did not say we should be learning to understand nazis. Fuck nazis. But your average person who stayed at home is not a racist, secret neo-nazi. A large portion of voters who chose Trump over Kamala are also not voting to hurt others. By and large, voters are uneducated by design, and feeding into that design by calling them all nazi's is deepening the problem.
I feel for you, because I also know how you get to feelings like yours, but this attitude is one of many problems, and I am approaching it exactly the way I am suggesting we need to: with understanding and discussion. I'm not blaming you. I get it. And that's exactly my point.
this approach has been failing for years. if you voted for a nazi, then guess what, you're a fucking nazi. if you voted 3rd party, or didn't vote at all, then nazism wasn't that big of a problem for you, and you're a nazi.
again, (and again and again), this "we need to have 'conversation' with them" has completely failed, as evidenced by 11/5/2024.
but seriously, how do you propose to talk to someone who dismisses verifiable evidence in favor of whatever fantasy bullshit trump just pulled out of his ass 10 seconds ago? someone who, instead of saying "maybe i misspoke," will draw a shitty circle on a NOAA weather map with a sharpie to try and "prove" that he was right about where a hurricane would hit?
my advice to you is start really thinking about who your real friends will be under fascism-- trump voters? LOL
possible. however, unlikely.
