Haha don’t forget moderates.

“We should listen to both sides, I mean nazis and fascists had good ideas too!”

I think it’s a mistake to call them moderates. The “moderates” in the US have gone to great lengths to brand themselves this way, but really they are neoliberals who have bought into every aspect of conservatism except maybe the most depraved social views from the alt right, which they excuse as “just an opinion”. They love to play both sides and act like they have some moral/intellectual high ground because they consider “both sides” when really they are already waist deep into right-wing ideology.

Exactly. Whenever this conversation comes up I ask for people to give me Republican policies presented and pushed that aimed to help the middle class??

Other than tax cuts for the rich the Republican party has ZERO ideas on how to tackle anything that would help the average American. Healthcare? Nothing. Gun control? Nothing. Climate change? Nothing. Infrastructure? Nothing. Jobs? Trickle down give tax cuts to the rich that’ll solve it! Sure it hasn’t worked the last 40 years now but just more tax cuts for billionaires bro!

It’s insane there’s even a handful of people who think republicans are anything but self serving fascists that would step over corpses to enrich themselves even marginally at the expense of anything and anyone else.

Yet here we are, it’s an actual debate, it’s like children who refuse to admit they stole that candy from the store… Children. Vile, fat, rich, spoiled, semi-conscious, thoroughly uneducated, self entitled, racist, backwards, moronic children. Hundreds of millions of them.

I propose “interlopers”. If you’re not against the fascist regime, you ARE the fascist regime.

As a moderate, this isn’t true in the least. People like that aren’t actually moderate, they are just masking.

Every moderate I know is currently voting Democrat because it’s obvious the Republican party has gone off the rails. The crazy stuff isn’t the part we listen to, and they have stopped backing the non-crazy part.

The moderates are the Democrats.

There is no left.

Democrats are right-wing. Republicans are now far right.

If two people disagree, then they are both equally right. Like in the case of rape! There’s two sides to it after all…

Moderates might hear both sides but they don’t support both sides.

Ironically, despite the common saying, the trains were apparently even worse during the Nazi government than they were before.

They more or less tried to rebuild every part of the society the way a butthurt drunk corporal would consider best.

Ah, and their economic successes were in large part result of a few Ponzi schemes and just theft. That “restoration of economy” of theirs wasn’t sustainable, because nobody would give them any more money.

Almost like they kicked significant parts of the railway work force out and sent them to death camps in the name of opening those jobs up for mediocre “ubermensch”

I would imagine the people on the trains back then were in no hurry to reach the destination.
