you still plan to vote for and speak for Trump after watching that debate. Never mind the shit show awfulness of his performance, never mind his lies, distortions and bollocks, his disrespect to the American people and the heart wrenching moment of his dismissal of Biden's dead son. Never mind his constant belligerent interruption and his petulant demeanour. All of that was going to be a given. But when he spoke directly to the Nazi far right white supremacist Proud Boys and told them to stand by they heard him loud and clear and proudly (they have already produced insignia for their nonsense faux uniforms, - stand back, stand by), and when he said that his supporters should protect the polls on election day, he was calling to arms far right fascistic militias onto the streets of America to break democracy, all to protect his lying tax evading grifting orange lard arse.
So, at this point, after what we witnessed last night, if you still plan to support this monster, you are a fascist. Period. And that includes every single republican up and down ticket all across America who does not come out immediately to condemn this call to fascist arms. Although to be fair, maybe they are happy little fascists, maybe for a section of the population Trump is exactly who they are. You are known by the company you keep, after all.

Trumps fascist racist supporters are the part of this country that is most horrible. They are the same rabble that can be seen in black and white photos from the 1950s screaming at black people just trying to go to school, or standing around a lynched black man. Deplorable doesnt even begin to describe how hideous they are.
But they have crawled back out from under their rocks and have found their bloated, fetid champion in Trump.

They are horrid. They are never going to change, but them scuttling back into the deep dark corners they used to inhabit would be a start!

(5,175 posts)I keep saying that everyone who is not part of that cult of insanity should be filming faces at every rally and every protest. We should be recording this blatant attempt to usurp the rule of law and the central tenants of our republic because it won't let them be small minded asshats. There is no better proof than pictures and video. Then, when we restore some sanity to our central government, there should be a knock on every single one of those slimy children's doors by the FBI for a little Q&A about supporting illegal activities and standing for the destruction of our nation. Just my thought anyway.

Thank you. We often remain ignorant of the import from our own words.

(2,497 posts)In the Civil War we fought white supremacy and in World War II where we lost eighty million people worldwide, our fathers and grandfathers didn't fight against these people only to have this bastard rile them up and see any kind of light of day. That is why antifa exists, White supremacists have killed, hanged, raped, bullied, and we're not going to stand for it anymore, they're not dealing with hippies anymore
