    And the Left wing media ecosystem has spent the last decade decrying sp much as sexist, racist or fascist

    I dunno about that. What I’ve found, being online, is a lot of people being sexist, racist or fascist.

      I think if you’ve found the majority of people being fascist, that’s a you conflating disagreement or supporting trump with fascism.

      Which is easy, fun but intellectually lazy and kinda how we got to where we are.

        It’s remarkable to see people still denying that Trump is a fascist. He tried to use violence to overthrow the government. He’s a fascist.

        That’s not what ‘a lot’ means, unless you’re reading a different dictionary to me?

          If it’s not the majority or close to it, then it’s probably not why the election is close (which is, if you’ll remember, the question of the original post.)

            You’re not very good at holding a conversation. I’ll leave you to complaining about the media inventing sexism, racism and fascism. Maybe you will be excited to find out how fascist Americans can be when Trump fans harass voters as this election comes to a close. Or maybe you will start talking about how the media is inventing it.

              No one said this but I’m cool ending this interaction.

              As a self growth thing though, I do strongly suggest trying to make a friend who votes differently. It can be frustrating but it helps you understand that there are in fact people who disgagree with you and gasp aren’t racist/sexist/fascist.

              (“But they’re voting for one!” "And your sweatshop clothes are the physical embodiement of sexism/racism/colonialism, are you also a write off as a person?)

              Cheers.
