I’m dumbstruck as to what to do. The US is building literal concentration camps, and none of my co-workers care at all.

In fairness, I work in healthcare with an almost exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

Many of them espouse to be Christians, and no one cares at all that the American government is following the exact playbook from Nazi Germany.

What do you do? How do you make people care before it’s too late?

    Trump won and the amount of people here throwing the Nazi word around still don’t realise how self defeating they are.

    Sometimes you have to call Nazis Nazis. And people who support Nazis are Nazis. And sometimes you can’t deprogram a Nazi.

    These aren’t victims. They’re intentionally malicious people.

    I have the urge to help victims. I have another urge entirely in regards to Nazis.

      Yeah and especially when they created a system that doesn’t even allow you to really vote for somebody who you believe in.

      The US is a timebomb which is going to explode.

      The moderate right provide a platform for the far right but I don’t think that makes them default Nazi’s.

      Besides that, I’m not suggesting that you can always deprogram a Nazi, but you can absolutely target the moderate right swing voters who may not take kindly to being called a Nazi.

      Honestly, your point of view is no better than the “all Muslims are terrorists” mantra and people like you will sleep walk us in to another four years of Republican rule.

        Yeah you are right, but US politics doesn’t allow for nuances. People aren’t left or right or conservative or progressive. They will have bieves that suit a certain direction on the politic spectrum, but people can have opinions regarding different topics all across the eniter spectrum.
