    Fuck, I think you’re right. Progressives and libs seem to try to fight “conservatism” (fascism) using the same processes progressives themselves tend to value and support: communication, compromise, empathy, rationality, etc. They/we aren’t perfect, but we as a group at least have some who tend to try.

    Why the fuck aren’t we also engaging like a bunch of degenerate apes when battling against christofascism? It’s all “strong man right and good, weak man wrong and cuck” with them. Why don’t we “out strong man” them? Trump has already shown us you don’t actually have to be strong for them to perceive you as such, you just have to brag and bluster, like a yappy little dog.
