I pick up my Staff of Shit-Stirring and wave it over my head, calling the Lemmy Libs to explain themselves.

Oh I've already talked to libs about this. The excuse is that Democrats are expected to be the party of civility and if they don't act like that they lose suburbanite moderates that will think both parties are the same if Democrats are rude.

Unlucky you. Ugh if someone says "When they go low..." one more time, I'm going to bury the US in a blizzard.

And I really just want the lemmy users to come here and explain their bullshit ideology.

okay, now they need to explain those suburbanite moderates

or even better, explain why their votes are worth losing however many times more votes from people who are repulsed by this two-faced rhetoric

I tried to suggest this being a thing to them but they insist there's more of the surburbanite moderates.

makes you wonder, who does believe trump will replace democracy with fascism? do the suburban moderates believe that? does the democratic party believe that?

is there anyone who simultaneously believes that, opposes that, and yet wants to be civil to him? how many people are in that venn diagram?

Unfortunately I do think there are people who sincerely think Trump will end fascism but also think that you have to be nice about it because thats how the system works. Its a cognative dissonance they are more than willing to just accept because thats how its always been. They are unable to adapt to the moment.
