    All right, but this doesn’t make you any different from Trump supporters that Democrats love to accuse of (mostly correctly) being fascists.

    The problem with you feeling like this critique makes you defensive and want to just go for the easy option is that there is always another option that you could do but it seems like it’s impossible for it to dawn upon you people. It’s either genocide or worse genocide. No other choice. But it’s also totally a functioning democracy worth defending, unlike those other bloodthirsty authoritarian regimes.

    If you can’t figure out another option or don’t support it or think it’s impossible because it’s difficult so might as well not do it, then continue doing as you are but, yes, be aware there is blood on your hands and you are acting as a fascist supporter at best.

      Just because you’re too narrowly focused on 1 issue in 1 place in the world, to see the difference doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

      It’s also pretty obvious that voting from your choices doesn’t make you a 100% supporter of their beliefs or actions. We aren’t electing our clones.

      It’s the trolly problem and always has been.
