    I have no idea why you Yanks insist on doing fascists such a huge favour by calling them “conservatives.”

      Fascist’s are on the right end of the Overton window.
      So are conservatives.

        The issue isn’t that they’re somehow different; the issue is the “conservative” is a euphemism.

        “Conservatism” is a long, long dead political tradition, Clyde. You call fascists “conservatives” because they (and the liberal media) tells you to.

        It’s no wonder they run rings around you when it comes to the propaganda game.

            We win by not giving a fuck what they think about us calling them what they are. We win by showing them no tolerance and being proud of it. If there ever was a tolerant left now is the time to kill it.

              This. I pulled my American flag down and ordered a slew of flags to fly instead. I’m starting with the Iron Front flag, then on to some pro gay, inclusive flags. I’m spending this weekend either finding local organizations or maybe creating one, for purposes of resistance and protest. Stop being nice!

              Also go get trained and get a firearm. We can all hand them in happily later when and if things ever settle down. Get armed now. Its easy. They are all armed (trained, not so much usually). Be safe.
