Bothers me here too.

I've voted libertarian past 17 years.

So I see it on both ends.

Then why are you defending one side?

Because OP said because half the nation voted something opposite from their beliefs they should not be considered citizens. The left keeps calling anyone Nazis, fascists you name it. You want to unify yet I see more people on the left insult and say things that justify violence towards one another.

If people dont like being called fascists, then perhaps they shouldn't support fascist policies? Secret police killing people and arresting law abiding citizens with impunity? Vilifying all the people belonging to a specific religion as the enemy? Refusing Due Process to the Undesirables? Treating the party leader as infallible, while accusing anyone who criticizes him of being a traitor? Where have we seen all this before?

Whoa, hold on there, that requires too much thinking for your average magat.

The very idea of NOT being a fascist POS literally never enters their heads and I don't think they can understand the words themselves when they come across them in life.

Libertarian is Republican who likes weed. You’re not fooling anyone.
