        If the other 60% do nothing its like inviting nazis over dinner and being ok with that becase you’re not a Nazi Yes you are! .

          You’re not wrong that 60% let the 40% bring us here. But at this point there isn’t any mechanism for us to stop this train. The US as it existed is dead and there’s not anything those of us who aren’t hateful crazy bigots can do to bring it back.

        It’s 100%, because the other 60% is refusing to wrestle the keys away from them despite the car careening towards a cliff, out of some one-sided misguided sense of decorum or fairness or whatever.

          I think it’s fear of being deported or assassinated. You don’t politely argue with and protest against Nazis and win.

        Yes, the other 60% is doing such a great job. So great that half of them, or more, is actuvely enabling the especially bad 40%.

        People in the US love to talk about how morally correct they are as if it allows them to not have to take responsibility. Sorry life isn’t perfectly comfortable and, by the way, the rest of the world interacts with the crazy fascist government and not a couple of the nice people. “The US” is a shitty place full of shitty people and it does shitty things. I’m sorry a lot of good people live there also and have to go through this shit but trying to act like we don’t know they’re there as if that’s our problem doesn’t help anyone.
