If you were living in 1930s Germany, you would have signed up to be a member of the Nazi party. Don't kid yourself, you personally absolutely would have done it. Maybe you wouldn't have been one of those actually enlisting in the SS. But you absolutely would have been one of those that joined the Nazi party to keep their job. Do you have any idea how many regular Germans did that, just to keep their ordinary civilian jobs? They convinced themselves that it was for the greater good. After all, let's say you're a judge or college professor. If you don't join the Nazi party, then an actual militant Nazi might get your job instead. Wouldn't it be better to just join the Nazi party, keep your job, and just try not to do anything too evil in your role? Joining the Nazi party is the lesser of two evils!
When you have no red lines, there is no limit to how deep into Hell you will fall.
Comparing me to Nazis isn’t helping your argument nor is it a good analogy. At this point, I doubt we will even have free or fair elections again. If it comes to a Civil War 2, then I’ll lay my life on the line to protect people like you from fascism. I am not afraid to fight for a better future.
Just not at the ballot box, where it costs you nothing and is literally the least you can do.
