So inherently your ‘good people’ did not abstain from voting and voting for Harris and those who likely felt they didn’t suffer either way abstained from voting. This comes down to the ethical question is inaction as bad as the action of voting for Trump? - ThreadSky

People are dumb! That’s my point, I didn’t say they’re ethically perfect but people are dumb and don’t have time to think about this. That’s why they fall for propaganda. I’m sure 5-15% are ideologically committed to nationalism, but polls show that the election isn’t a reflection of the base.

People are violent and aggressive - they fall for propaganda because it holds up cognitive biases.

And I would be careful of how accurate your polls are. All the polls leading up to your election fluctuated wildly.

I would argue it’s the same thing, inaction against fascism is not acting against it, thus, you are for it. I obviously don’t know your experience with public services or acting for people in times of dire need but there’s a lot of evidence here that inaction leads to the same outcome as MAGA

I agree with you but this is what I’m saying, democrats failed to act. MAGA acted and promised change. Dump ppl fell for it again and voted for it. But democrats should have and could have countermessaged and won the election easily.That’s my point. Electioneering effectively would have stopped maga

Hmm I think you ought to watch that video I linked you. You need to take into account global trends and how our window is shifting alt right due to issues with resources. MAGA offers a scapegoat to blame other people instead of dealing with issues. Have a think about this.
