    Don’t forget to purity check today! If you didn’t purity check, how can you be sure that only pure of heart and wholesome on all sides people will help you fight fascism. You don’t want unclean allies, don’t you?

      It’s a purity check to not be amped about a guy that actively does the exact behavior that’s decried when the right is the perpetrator?

      Being a hypocrite is enlightened centrism now?

        Seeing what Trumpism is doing to America and sitting here being all choosy about the alternative is basically what lead y’all here in the first place. When you will be thrown to a concentration camp for a thought crime, the thought that the opposition wasn’t all that perfect either will not help you in the slightest. It doesn’t help all the millions of people who’s lives are being upended because Americans weren’t that engaged about the democratic message.

        At this point, a candidate that doesn’t actively violates the law to install blatantly fascistic government is about as swell as it can go. I’ll take “debates about rights of trans people in sports” or whatever the issue was, over every minority including trans people being hunted on the streets by the gangs of masked people with absolute authority.
        Just like all the choice in America, it’s a choice between a bad situation and a literal hell with torture and eternal flames.

          If I search for “maga house”, “maga car”, “maga outfit”, etc, I will get a very specific set of images. Pages after pages of them.

          Can you please demonstrate equivalents of what this “blue maga” looks like for those searches?

            Just replace Trump with Kamala or whoever the next Dem nominee will be. I’ve seen houses set up the same way and clothing merch with all the nonsense. They act exactly like MAGA. You can’t criticize their chosen God cause then you’re seen as the enemy and they will fight like hell to protect their precious neolib from criticism.

              Really? I haven’t. Not once.

              Should be easy to share a picture demonstrating that then, right?

              Something like:

              Edit: The last time I asked this question, I was shown a tshirt, a hat, and a banner about Gavin Newsom poking fun at Trump, as three separate photos. The T-shirt wasn’t even on a person.

              If its so common, surely there must be some pictures.

                  Those are the photos of people in the political rallies, just to be sure. About the only place where wearing political merch is appropriate. Or do you think people who walk in parades are wearing that in real life? Have you ever been outside?

                  Their car:

                  Thats all removable.

                  Edit: To be clear, I mean that doesnt even survive rain. Its soap. And tape. Not a sticker, not a paint job, and not even a single flagpole!

                  Closer! But not remotely near what maga territory looks like.

                  Their costume

                  A hat and a T-shirt… Still seems a little bit like just regular stuff you see at a rally or convention…

                  Their every day wear:

                  Ah, t-shirts again. Not a vest with 80 patched on it that say Kamala, no coverage in ridiculous flags…hell, no Kamala tattoos in sight!

                  Sorry, none of that is remotely close yet. I appreciate the effort though!

          They would support trump exactly as he is right now if he were a dem. And still accuse leftists our purity tests are trying to get the other guy elected.

            No, sorry the Democratic candidates have to at least be fuckable. Trump is probably the most unfuckable person on the planet.

            They do have some standards.

      Nah man, I’ll take any and all allies, but Newsom absolutely isn’t that. Anybody willing to throw trans folks to the wolves for political gain is a shitstain.
