I'm not seeking to gain anything. But I do want to live in reality, and so I will call a fascist sympathizer a fascist sympathizer.
Those lifelong GOP voters were already going to end up fully in cult mode in support of fascism, or they were eventually going to snap out of it. Calling them what they are doesn't change that.
They put up their guard 8 years ago during the 2016 election. Nothing you say to them will change anything.
There are some people who aren't worth convincing though. And they're called fascist sympathizers. It is not possible to convince them to change course.
And right after that they'll vote Trump anyways.
I never said perfection was required. I am simply saying, if we are going to spend effort on election reform it should be the best option. The resources needed to run an election is pretty much the same regardless of which type it is.
It sounds like were at an impasse, I want to fix the problem before it evolves farther, but you think its already past saving, or at the very least you can only see a route to saving the country that goes through calling half the country fascists and hoping they listen.
You do realize that only about 1/3rd of the country actually votes/voted for Trump, right? And of that third, not all of them are fervent supporters/outright fascists. If half of his voters are fervent supporters, that means only about 1/6th of the country is fascist, and another 1/6th sympathetic. You are overstating this.
But yeah, there is definitely an impasse with the rest.
I misspoke, I believe you said facist sympathizers if they vote for trump previously.
