    okay, now they need to explain those suburbanite moderates

    or even better, explain why their votes are worth losing however many times more votes from people who are repulsed by this two-faced rhetoric

      worth losing however many times more votes from people who are repulsed by this two-faced rhetoric

      I tried to suggest this being a thing to them but they insist there's more of the surburbanite moderates.

        makes you wonder, who does believe trump will replace democracy with fascism? do the suburban moderates believe that? does the democratic party believe that?

        is there anyone who simultaneously believes that, opposes that, and yet wants to be civil to him? how many people are in that venn diagram?

          Unfortunately I do think there are people who sincerely think Trump will end fascism but also think that you have to be nice about it because thats how the system works. Its a cognative dissonance they are more than willing to just accept because thats how its always been. They are unable to adapt to the moment.

      It's faith. You perform the Rituals according to the scriptures, put on your best behavior, and you will be rewarded, on this election or the next.
