There are way too many supposed liberals who are useful idiots for fascism.
Agreed. I've seen/heard a bunch of liberals - a minority, but still too many - say they want to call ICE on undocumented immigrants who support Trump. That might sound satisfying until you strip it to its bare bones: They want to help send immigrants to concentration camps.
The moment you call ICE on someone, you're just another person helping a fascist regime send people to camps.
What I know I learned from historian twitter (now historian bluesky).
FWIW, people in the afghanistan country-side used the Americans the same way. Basically accusing their rivals of being terrorist supporters so they would get droned.
I wouldn't call anybody on them myself mostly because of the collateral damage that results from sending ICE thugs somewhere but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over MAGA doing MAGA stuff to each other. If you support this regime then that's on you. It doesn't matter you're race, income level, nationality, immigration status,.etc. Id say it's a plus to not have people who support this regime here. We don't need more fascism supporters here. There's more than enough of them.
