Dude's comment was clearly saying that Trump and Haley were the same. If someone cannot see the very clear and obvious differences between the two, their brainwashing has been strong.
Except I wonder if its brainwashing or just trolling.
Lol the trump x Haley comparison is irrelevant
First because she never really had a chance to win the primaries against the maga cult
And second because even if she did, being part of the republican party these days is more than enough reason to assume she's a fascist asshole. Does it matter if she's a slightly less bad fascist asshole? (And if you wanna reduce it to "everyone I don't like is all the same" that's fine with me)
If you don't acknowledge the repubs trying to fight against the fascist slide inside their own party, you're just helping fascists get what they want. They're doing a political purge. This should be remembered.
If this is republicans trying to purge their ranks, they're doing a shit job of it by putting forth a candidate who openly says she's going to pardon the fascist being "purged" for the sake of moving on and unity. That alone is reason enough to not buy them being different enough to care.
Until they're willing to crush that wing of the party, they're still complicit. And that's not me helping the fascists, that's me not letting the less extreme wing cover for the alt-reich wing they've been cozying up to for years. Hell, the Nazis are openly hanging out with them at cpac....
Probably don't want to just believe that her words reflect her stances. Much like McConnell, she'll say whatever she thinks she needs to say to help accomplish her personal goals.
World is a complicated place, especially when you're trying to not fall quickly to a purge, which is pretty clearly a goal she has. Otherwise she'd be gone by now.
Honestly, at some point the "good" republicans are probably going to have to jump ship and start a new party, because the republican base has shown they're too focused on the trumpist candidates. I'm not confident that any of them have the stones to do it, though. But maybe if they get spanked in November they'll finally see the writing on the wall.
