It's pretty easy to identify a fascist. If you support any single thing Trump, Putin, or Netanyahu has done, then you deserve the same fate as Kirk. No exceptions.

Ah, so then we should kill approximately half of the country? And all of the Jews in Israel? I can't believe I'm having this conversation...

Yes in order to get out of this rat fucked world we live in. I'm also not gonna be partisan in this. There's plenty of Dems and libs that fall into this, including those that love to spew that "Israel has a right to defend itself" garbage.

Dang dude, that's pretty messed up

It's what happens when you've been dealing with the evil of conservatives and the complicity of liberals for decades. It's why I view voting as pretty pointless since the only people worth having that power will never have it. I do it to give myself something to do since I usually just get bored on my days off. However I don't vote for either major party. I look up who comes the closest to my mindset in third parties at every level of government from DC to town mayor and go for them.

It's not even close to half of the US, more like ~30% or so.
