America Great again!

I take it from this that you are implying that I am a Nazi. Would that be a correct assumption on my part?

If the shoe fits.

Fuck me, can people please stop diluting the term "Nazi"?! It's meant to be a last resort ONLY, like transphasic torpedoes against the Borg (yes, I did just hardcore-reference Star Trek there).

I forgot what I was saying.




Oh yeah.

So, calling Trump supporters Nazis doesn't work. Insulting them doesn't work. Dismissing their views out of hand and turning your noses up at their mere presence does. Not. Work.
How do I know this? I was watching the entire fucking omnishambles leading up to the election, and the ceaseless tirade against Trump and his fans. I freely admit I participated in that tirade as well. Guess what? He still got elected. "We" lost. "They" won.

How's about for once, just for the hell of it, we sit down and talk to "the other side" and see what they have to say, exchange ideas peacefully? It's so easy to divide ourselves by lines of race, political views, religion, class, gender and sexuality, and it's fucking difficult to keep a civil conversation going with those who you see as the enemy.
I'm gonna try to take the hard route more often, 'cause look where the fucking easy road got us. Then maybe we can stop fighting amongst ourselves and focus our energy on taking down the rich cunts who benefit from our squabbling.

A drunk, pissed off and introspective Iro.
