    It’s also a wild take that nonvoters aren’t responsible for this fascist takeover. As if you needed more convincing somehow.

      Lol. Who is responsible for the fascist takeover? The fascists?

      No, the non voters

                Clearly a waste of time trying to talk any sense into you morons. Have fun with the fascism and your silly dream that “this time though our apathy will turn it all around!”

                  “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

                  ― Jean-Paul Sartre
