        Who needs it right? Let’s go harass political opponents, jail journalists we don’t like, have people executed on our birthdays like they do in Russia - there is no democracy in a 2 party system anyway, why keep appearances. Let’s go full fascist, that will show how we are better than the other fascists.

          Of course using your voice to shout down literal fascists is the same as gaoling journalists and executing people as birthday presents . . .

          Intolerance cannot be tolerated.

            It’s not the same, it’s in the same direction. If you want to defeat somebody you must make sure you remain better than them, otherwise they may as well win.

                I agree with you, I don’t want to tolerate them. Cool. There are still rules.

                What do you hate them for exactly?

                Speaking for me, I hate Trump because he is a bona fide fascist and some of his supporters are nothing short of brown shirts, and these people are not outcasts in their movement, they are welcomed and praised.

                Now i hear your wonderful idea: let’s behave like brown shirts as well, that will show them. If we behave like fascists then maybe we can prevent the others who behave like fascists from taking power! I don’t want any fascists in power, left or right leaning.

                Let’s not tolerate those motherfuckers. Let’s hold them accountable, jail that orange piece of shit for the treason he is guilty of, jail the jansixers and send them to break rocks, make those responsible of fascism pay for it. I have no use for more fascists.

                  I love when people take an offhanded remark that isn’t really even meant and use it to go off about how they’re worse than a fascist. like this woman insisted I was a fascist for agreeing with the sentiment behind “I wish we had some way of requiring voters to be educated”
