Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. They're listening to the talking heads of nazi propaganda, who always give their listeners two ways to fight people calling out nazi propaganda.
Billionaires can afford to pay people!
nazi: No, they can't, it'll increase unemployment!
nazi: Jobs other than billionaire jobs suck!
You're right, you don't have enough time and dry markers to counter all their bullshit. Even if you did, they'd deflect to something else.
Nobody's "a little conservative" anymore, that's another nazi lie.
I have started calling this administration and any diehard supporter of them Nazis, but I really don't find it helpful to call literally all of them Nazis -- particularly those with idiotic economic attitudes. They're already saying "Nazi" just means you disagree, stupid leftist!
No, Nazi means you support a racist authoritarian inhuman government. Not that you're stupid when it comes to economic policy.
I only say somewhat because he doesn't actually support (or voted for) this admin. He only voted for him in 16, and quickly realized how stupid he is. He has voted Democrat the last few elections, but differs in how we actually fix things.
So basically your average centrist right now.
What's strange is that he was a huge Bernie supporter back in 16, and that was the reason he flipped to R that election. So it's odd he's deepthroating billionaire propaganda now. He also doesn't watch any news outlets, and mostly gets his info from TikTok, which his feed is probably all Joe Rogan clips at this point.
That's not "strange" that's just contrarian anti-establishmentarianism. No positive stances, only negarive ones.
