    5 Jews, 3 blacks, 2 former klansmen, and a Nazi sitting at a table is an “intervention”, not a table with 11 Nazis.

    The idea that a Nazi infects everyone he comes into contact with and is utterly irredeemable is horseshit. The only way he stays a Nazi is if he never associates with anyone but Nazis. Your “11 Nazis” adage promotes isolating him among other Nazis, ensuring he is never exposed to any other philosophy.

        I think that a table with 10 people of diverse religious, genetic, and philosophical backgrounds, plus 1 Republican is not a table of 11 Republicans.

          Okay, but this is a Republican who votes for other Republicans. So that doesn’t sound especially diverse in terms of religion, genetics or philosophy.

            I have voted for republicans, and Democrats. Am I a nazi?

            I like @Rivalarrival@lemmy.today analogy. That group is made up of a ton of different people, and I don’t think they would all personally support each and every questionable BS policy proposed by the party. But we don’t get that level of choice. Maybe if there was more groups/parties, or none at all, they would vote a different way. Maybe they aren’t so much voting for things, but voting against something else.

            I know people who won’t vote for a party over one issue, otherwise they would consider it.

              Did you vote for Republicans who agree with the modern Republican platform? If so, yes. You are. Because you vote for fascists who want to implement fascist policy. Sorry to be the one to break it to you.

                Which thing is so fascist?

                Then I guess I could know who that was?

                What’s your definition of fascism in the context of American society? I saw your questions, but I don’t know that those things are what the whole political party is about.

            This is a Republican who is suing to kick Donald Trump off the ballot. Right now, that’s good enough for me.
