Republicans care about people also. The Liopleurodon in the ointment is that to them, less than 10% of humans are people.
The only people living in a fog are people like you with their heads up trump's ass breathing in his nasty foul odor. It's worse than huffing paint and you're showing signs of acute intoxication which is making you dumb. You can either leave your head up his ass and continue breathing that stench or you can pull it out and seek treatment for your nasty addiction.
Republicans are about 700% more likely to lie to you than Democrats. The “Both sides“ narrative fell apart around the time McCain picked his running mate.

autocrats do have the nicest autos.Are Trump Republicans Fascists?
No, says BU historian Jonathan Zatlin, but they can still be dangerous
This historian says Trump-GOP MAGA are not fascists because:
Fascism was a response to long-term trends and what was going on after 1918. What you see today, what Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene are saying, is completely unoriginal. It is an attempt to resurrect those responses in the interwar period to democratic and liberal rule. It’s not clear to me that you can call them fascists, since fascism was a historical phenomenon. Simply because you think violence is good, and you think racism is good, doesn’t make you a fascist.
He goes on to say today's GOP MAGA are
violent antidemocrats who are also violently racist. And the Republican Party is in danger of becoming the party of violence, antidemocracy, and racism. If there is any kind of similarity with the interwar period, it’s that you have conservatives willing to collaborate for political reasons with people who are often violent and racist and antidemocratic.
So, they aren't fascist but they sure act like them? Hence Biden's "semi-fascist" term. But we all know he meant fascist. It's a loaded term and a lot of liberals are repulsed by direct confrontation.
The historian doesn't think we should avoid confrontation:
You don’t make compromises with them. You have to call these things out. It’s important to call conspiracy theories out and debunk them. It’s a difficult thing to do, but all these things need to be called out. You cannot make alliances with people like this, because these ideas are so corrosive. [They] will swallow you whole. You cannot make idiotic statements like violence is part of democratic discourse.
I think the historian is and academic who is splitting hairs. Nobody says GOP MAGA is Nazi or Mussolini's fascism. But GOP MAGA is violent, antidemocratic, autocratic authoritarian, uses racist scapegoating, hierarchical, and nationalist. It looks like a fascist, walks like a fascist, talks like a fascist. It is fascist without the cool cars.

I remember when she came out and did her acceptance speech about 15 minutes in thinking that the Republicans struck gold with her, then as she kept going just got more and more worried for our nation.
Well she was reading what they gave her. Once she started going off script it became obvious that she had less brains than a gumball machine. I actually felt sorry for McCain. He had no idea how bad she was and those idiots doing the VP search for him were a bunch of nimrods that completely failed. I remember when he went out to say that Obama was an American who love his country after that thing had whipped up all the racist, anti-Muslim, born in Kenya garbage and got booed by the crowd. That was the moment the race was over. Those people were so whipped into a frenzy over Obama that they booed their own Presidential candidate for not pushing the lies.
That was also the moment that McCain won my respect. The man was an American hero through and through.
I miss the days when I didn't have to consider Republicans a threat to US democracy.
I guess you missed that whole summer of 2020 when your peace-loving Democrats were burning down entire city blocks in several cities not to mention the people they murdered you are a perfect Democrat your too damn dumb to see what's right in front of you and I missed the part in any of this thread where I was defending anyone including Republicans you need to go smoke one and get some of your anger out.
I didn’t see any Biden flags nor Pelosi hats did you? How do you know they were Democrats?
Well, you apparently know everything so I will leave it at this, it's Democrats like you that refuse to have a rational discussion about the problems in this country that are the problem with this country.I didn’t see any Biden flags nor Pelosi hats did you? How do you know they were Democrats?
Especially when time and again it was the idiots like the “boogaloo boys” and white nationalists that were using the protest as cover to destroy minority majority cities.

Drop the right wing propagandist act and I’ll be more than happy to discuss whatever.
A rational discussion has as a prerequisite
