Conservatives and violence

[blimix]

The difference between a typical conservative and a Nazi isn't whether you condone white supremacist violence. It's whether you're too embarrassed to admit that you condone white supremacist violence.

...

If you see yourself in this post, and think that I'm mischaracterizing you, then prove me wrong:

1. Assert in public that the police need to stop murdering Black people.

2. Speak out in public against the genocidal neo-Nazi, and ask your friends not to vote for him.

Bonus point. If you're not a complete coward, try speaking out against the genocidal neo-Nazi and the attempted coup before you know that they're on the losing side.

If you can't do these things, then you do in fact condone white supremacist violence.

I myself have been struggling with the separation of conservative vs conservative supremacists. Honestly, I don't think there's much at this point. Any group of people who consistently uphold a party's beliefs that it's ok to continually push policies that harm minimalized groups is a group based in hate and there not much other way to slice it.

I thoroughly agree.
