    Most of them want a Congress that is willing to work together. Congress is literally supposed to work together.

    Not when one of the parties is a fascist party. There’s no acceptable compromise possible with fascists.

    Conservatism and progressivism are two hands of the same body.

    More like progressivism is the supramarginal gyrus (the part responsible for compassion and empathy), the frontal cortex (logical reasoning), and the hippocampus (creativity) whereas conservatism is the medulla oblongata (fear and distrust) and not much more.

    Besides, today’s Republican party isn’t just a conservative party. Fascism is much farther right than that, into “straight white Christian men SHOULD control everything and nobody else should have rights” territory.

    Just because one of those hands has cancer doesn’t mean you remove the whole hand.

    The entire GOP is controlled by that cancer. There’s no redeeming traits, nobody who goes against it without being ostracized.

    The Alt-Right

    Is a media term for “modern Fascist but were not allowed to use that word no matter how accurate it is”.

    The government exists to make life as good for as many people as possible. That’s simply not possible when giving fascists ANY of the things they want.

      Not at all, rather. Part of the point is that it’s literally supposed to work against itself to keep change slow, manageable. Moderate.

      Also, doctors do sever limbs that can’t be recovered. Idunno where the person you’re responding to gets their ideas but maybe they should let it serve its natural function instead of digging around in it for bad ideas.
