To put it another way, how many people would compromise on an american reich, for single payer or tax cuts? The chorus says no, not me..not a one.
The votes say otherwise.
Maybe no one here, ofc...it feels silly to say that though since we're only considering whether our well intentioned but misguided attempts to compromise with fascists might actually be to their benefit and our detriment. I would be super happy if we got a clue and made our proposals fascist proof..but, as in the beginning, that would make the fascists right about us having no interest in letting fascism into our tent.
It's a rock and a hard place. Either we are saying that above..or, yes, we're actually -for- some of the fascists shit they want and will go for that, so long as they go for some (or more) of our stuff. That, not the fascists all by themselves, is responsible for the shape of america today..which, again imo, with respect to the issue of fascism and white supremacy..aint great. That's how we got...here. Maybe less of it would have lead us somewhere else? Disagreements over the full extent of any given bit of propaganda in word or set in stone are credible. I get that there are people who don't think that they're as effective as I do.
I'll tell you who does think that they're as effective as I do..fascists and white supremacists.
