Exactly. And did not the soldier who slaughtered a family also smile with joy at his own child's birthday? Did not the teenager who shoved the dead into unmarked graves also laugh with delight at his brother's new job? Ad infinitum. What does evil look like if not the mirror?

Fetterman's logic is flawed

The nicest possible thing you can say about Trump voters is the fascism version of this. And I see it as a distinction without a difference at this point.

Don’t waste tour time. fetterman is a nitwit

@volts.wtf You are right. Trump and his minions were very clear and open about what he intended to do. His criminality, misogyny, racism, and all the rest of was obvious and even flagrant. Why would anybody vote for him is beyond me. It is not a stretch to say that his supporters approved, or […]

@volts.wtf 2/ I am unsure where to draw the line between negligent and intentional behavior. (That requires a lot of discussion about philosophy and psychology of mind that is mostly academic; interesting but not useful to this discussion.) Regardless of intention, the blame is the same for all […]

"I refuse to call fascists "fascist" because I'm a fascist but I have to still fool people into voting for me because I'm a fascist." bsky.app/profile/volt...

Especially when Republicans never open their mouths without claiming that Dems are the dangerous radicals. If you only watched Fox News (bad decision!), you might in all honesty not realise he was a fascist.

“I’m not a fascist, but I am pro-fascist.”

They must have something on him. Either he's in debt to Bibi or there is something else ww haven't quite figured out about him.

@volts.wtf Expecting logic or rationality or sense out of John Fetterman was your first mistake.

he's talking about keeping the tent flaps open and you're hearing him saying being less offensive to all = condoning bad behavior. If he says "x bad behavior is OK," call him out on THAT. If he's just saying calling people names doesn't make them behave better, he's 100% correct. b/c brain science

Fetterman is a fuck-up. That is all...

I still suspect our fascism will be more Putinlike (still horrible) or Orbanlike. Haven't read enough to know how well thet appease the masses.

Fetterman spends way too much time scolding the people who voted for him and pandering to the people who mostly didn’t vote for him. As a Democratic voter myself, I deplore such a tendency in certain politicians who are supposed to be on our side.

My wife remembers her grandfather very fondly. He was an actual literal decorated wehrmacht soldier. He fought and killed and nearly died for fascism. The point of Hanna Arendt, if anyone bothered to read her anymore, is that facism LOOKS NORMAL right up until it's murdering you.

Fetterman is a narcissist who thrives on getting attention, but not everyone who voted for him is a narcissist who thrives on getting attention. See how easy that was?

Fetterman is a broken brained bootlicker. One and done, Johnnie boy. One and done.

This illogic also tracks back to Charlottesville. If you and your ideology are arm in arm with Nazis, you’re no longer “very fine people.”

fetterman has sadly become somebody who sounds like he wants attention for being contrarian....wtf.....in this fascist climate he bugging out

Weird conflation by Fetterman I meant

Two things: One, I’m very grateful that I live in Maryland, and I’m not represented by this useful idiot. Two, someone in Pennsylvania please primary young Frankenstein in 2028.
