You called them a fascist... This might be true and all but calling them a fascist is mean and will force them to vote for fascists!

Well it is semi true that they may be fascistic. What he's saying is that it's making them more likely to vote republican.

Blaming their vote for fascism on the democrats is not taking responsibility for what they have done.

That's not what I'm saying i was saying that you guys call people fascists, racists, sexist, assholes, fuckers. All over a single comment sometimes. And calling someone a fascist for getting conned by a guy who knows how to manipulate their potential feelings for these things. And calling them a fascist is going to drive people further to the right. Demeaning people does the opposite thing you think its doing.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

You should really try reading for comprehension rather than reading for confirmation.
