Honestly, I truly hope you're full of shit and none of this is in good faith, because holy shit.

Fucking garbage liberal (the actual term, not Fox News version) attitude that's allowing the Republican party to get this close to turning the US into an authoritarian state with a malignant narcissist as their literal god.

That shit you mentioned doesn't work with fascists. They are actively using your liberalism as a weapon against all of us. And this is not new, it's a pattern throughout history.

I would urge people that agree with the comment above to do some research (like actual research, like reading books. Primary sources and shit) about how the liberal centrist parties in Germany and the rest of Europe, were ultimately the ones who opened the door for Hitler (after the Nazi party had recently lost seats in Parliament and did not have a majority).

Hindenburg, and others, eventually backed Hitler and made him Chancellor because they thought it would help their political careers (Hindenburg also believed he'd be able to keep him in check. As if a fascist can be kept in check through purely political means). How do you think that worked out for them?

Fascists take what a functioning society would call good ethics, fairness, empathy, etc. and weaponize them against their opponents. To them, they see weaknesses to be exploited. Just like Hindenburg was (and every other liberal democracy in the region that had policies of "appeasement" toward the Nazis.

They/you think this is just one more political party, and should be treated as such because of course they're going to follow the rules and act in good faith... Then as soon as they can they seize power. Whoops. Remember what I said about Nazis not having a majority in Parliament? Well guess who they formed a coalition government with, allowing Hitler to take power through legal means...

And it works every fucking time. Because now the choice (for the liberal) is, "do I go against a fundamental belief, and sink to this fascist's level because that's the only thing that works on these people? Or do I let them use me as a tool to help fulfill their goals of destroying our democracy, and ultimately, genocide of some flavor because that's where it always goes (probably start with the trans folks again, like they did in Germany)?

Now go back and look at which groups in the Weimar Republic​ fought tooth and nail against the Nazis in the 30s... That's right, communists and social democrats.
