8. He's not at all wrong that these are fascist policies, but you spoke to the larger truth of the matter.

It's a fascist party. Completely and utterly. Anyone who still votes for them for any reason after the events of the last 10 years is enabling everything they do, whether they understand that or not. "Moderate" Republicans have been politically extinct since 2015 at the latest. They no longer exist in numbers anywhere near enough to be relevant to their own party, let alone decide the outcome of elections. It's a fool's errand to go chasing after unicorns and I have no idea why anyone still feeds that mythology.

The fact that the GQP wasn' invalidated or dissolved after 1/6/21 and the exposure of the fake electors plot is an indictment of the American system and an affront to American values as a whole.

At least, the values we used to pretend to have.
