There are over 340 million people in this country. 70 million people isn't a majority. And not even all of those people are fascists.
If you vote for a fascist, you’re a fascist.
Not everyone did so knowingly. There are people who did knowingly vote for fascists of course. But there are plenty of people who got brainwashed by Fox News. It's not useful to create millions of enemies when we already outnumber the fascists.
Fox News brainwashed my Grandma and Mom. They're both Jewish. My Grandmother didn't live to see this. She was the kindest person I've ever met. She would never hurt anyone.
My Mom's an asshole, but she's still my Mom and I lover her despite the fact she is brainwashed and misgenders me because my peace of mind makes her insecure. You think the fascists are going to care that she voted for them? As far as the fascists are concerned, she's one more person they get to kill.
I have to agree here. My father was a very well educated man. He has parts that he designed and manufactured by himself in the Smithsonian Aeronautical Museum, as well as parts that he designed and manufactured in the Hubble.
In the end, the fall of this intelligent man was Fox News. It is a brain worm. I loved him dearly, but the combination of conspiracy and hatred consumed him in the end. The last time I saw him, he asked to see his son. I will never recover from this.
I'm sorry that happened. Thank you for sharing. People need to hear stories like these.
