  • I have spent over 50 years being kind and turning the other cheek with conservatives. I was raised in the deep south, lived there my whole life and retired there from a 98% conservative career. I was a good relative, friend, neighbor and colleague to conservatives the entire time.

    I have tried the Socratic method, leading by example, tireless friendly debates and every other peaceful method I could over the years to reach them. My successes were always limited and short-lived.

    I do not believe conservatives can be talked out of their conservatism. And now there is simply no more time for talk. Conservatism has matured into fascism. The normal people must aggressively act now or lose permanently.


  • I respectfully disagree. Fascism is just a flavor of conservatism. If left unchecked, a conservative will always drift toward fascism. It is their natural inclination. Without early resistance, unchecked conservatism will always naturally develop into fascism. Always.

    The Democratic Party, our only real opposition to the fascist party, has been infested by conservatives known as neo-liberals. These conservatives pretend to be progressive (the opposite of conservative) by promising progressive policies, but their actions are consistently in support of conservatism. This is the mechanism by which conservatism has remained unchecked in the U.S. for so long.

    We are now suffering the effects of unchecked conservatism, which is fascism. We have moved past the early stages. We cannot wait until the late stages to forcibly resist or we will lose.

    The time to defend against fascism is not after they are putting us in the camps. It’s not after soldiers are enforcing conservative policies on our streets. The time to act is now, before the later stages of conservatism have been enacted.

    I am unaware of any effective opposition to fascism that is peaceful that can be apllied to our current situation. Even if we have a blue wave in November and again in 2028, conservatives will learn and return with a new way to overwhelm the normal people with fascism. And that’s assuming they are effectively stopped from advancing their fascism after midterms. We may already be too far along for courts or legislators to stop them.

    This is a fight against cancer. As long as it continues to exist, it will never stop trying to kill us. Never. It needs to be completely erased.
