hope for the emergence of a strong middle that fights against the extremists
the parties increasingly moving to greater extremism
I haven’t seen such enlightened centrism on display for a long time. The Overton window has moved so far to the right in the United States in the past 10-20 years it’s frankly terrifying. One wonders what this guy thinks are the extremist positions.
To make the decision only a bit more extreme than it currently is…if you had to choose between a fascist government and a communist government, which would you choose? If you are not knowledgeable about what fascism is (a dictatorship of the hard right) and what communism really is (a dictatorship of the hard left), I urge you to get schooled
Is…is this guy arguing that we’re equally likely to fall into a communist dictatorship as a fascist one? Please, sir, school me on your definition of communism. Because it seems to me that the 2024 election is a choice between the business-as-usual US Government, for all its (manifold, disastrous) faults, and fucking Looney Tunes.

He didn’t say that explicitly, but now that you point it out, that would be a simple corollary of this dude’s take on the shape of polarisation in America. And it’s obviously a dumb conclusion.

That’s not even slightly true! There are plenty of WWII-era Looney Tunes shorts that show it to be explicitly antifascist.
At this point, I wish Looney Tunes was an option!
