Legit comparing a woke activist to a fascist.

Calling Sweeney a fascist is as dumb, and inaccurate as calling liberals and progressives communists.

But this is the quality of political discourse today smh.

The difference is that Sweeney votes for fascists, whereas liberals are capitalist.

Maybe Sweeney isn't ideologically fascist, maybe she's just rich and wants the tax cuts. But I'd say a fascism-enabler is close enough to being a fascist.

You're doing the meme.

"Yet you participate in society."

Yep, You know where your taxes go. You have the option to abstain from it or leave the country. Yet you don't. Because the effort would be burdensome. You willfully enabled it through indifference. Just like they did.

You justify your indifference because you're special. Your tribulations are unique and completely justified. You'd never vote for a group based upon one or two single issues important to you.

"Democracy has disappeared in several great nations, not because the people of those nations dislike democracy, but because they have grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership... finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat." Franklin D. Roosevelt

You speak with confidence on her voting record when all you have is a voter registration to go off. No voting history, nor statements supporting political candidates or positions. Saying she's votes for fascists is conjecture at best.

We do have statements saying she isn't participating in politics, if fence-sitting now makes you fascist, then are you going after every public personality not engaging in politics? Are you calling anyone who didn't vote for Harris a fascist or fascist-enabler?

I'm not keen on a world where we're throwing such labels out in a loose fashion when it undermines the actual fascists currently destroying our societies.

She registered as a republican after the party went full fascist. I really doubt she registered as a republican, then voted for anyone other than Trump. We're not talking about someone who registered back when McCain or Romney were running.

The only rich people who claim they aren't participating in politics are voting for fascists.

Yes, everyone who didn't vote for Harris did enable fascism. However, I understand that a large portion of society just doesn't follow politics, so it's more about them being stupid than knowingly enabling fascism. But again, Sweeny registered as a republican recently.

This liberal civility is a major reason why fascism is the norm now.
