      It lets democrats know they can’t just get away with being and inch left of Republicans, because they way shit is now they’re just gonna go as far right as they possibly can because it’s more profitable and doesn’t cost enough votes to not be worth it

        So it lets Republicans win. Gotcha. Seems to me like letting fascism take over to teach someone a lesson is maybe the wrong thing to do?

          We have fascism because of democrats sliding farther right along with republicans. We sure as fuck can’t just keep letting shit get worse forever and ever, unless you think that waiting until liberals are right of Hitler is preferable to not letting that happen?

            So we can’t let fascism get worse and the solution to that is to let Republicans win in 2024. I see.

              And you want to keep voting for the people slowly turning into fascists until there’s no nonviolent way out. Seriously, what way out is there when democrats are trying to go as far right as they can? Are we just supposed to wait until shit is unfixable to try and make a stand against them?

              Edited because what I said in my original comment was completely uncalled for, and I’m sorry for saying it

                  Fascism is unavoidable. We can let democrats know that we won’t let them perpetrate it, or we can VBNMH and let them know they can do literally anything and still get votes
