    You are entirely wrong regarding brexit voters.

    You’re a Brexiteer, I take it? https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2053168018773964

    Sorry if the reality that a significant number of the Leave voters are just racists upsets you. The fact that Brexiteers made life harder for my family in the occupied counties rather upsets me.

    You are wrong regarding Trump.

    Care to clarify your meaning there and support it with anything?

    it is entirely of course entirely reasonable not to vote for the continuation of the political economic ideology that made Trump inevitable.

    This is very much looking like embracing the fallacy of Denying the Correlative. The choices in the US election were only:

    1. Fascism, or
    2. Not fascism

    There were no other options. It’s a two party FPTP system, making claims otherwise factually inaccurate. Refusing to vote against fascism was implicitly supporting fascism because refusing to vote has in recorded electoral history only ever helped the right-wing. It really is that simple.

    Refuse to oppose fascism in the bare minimum fashion (other action is required) and you’re intentionally enabling harm to those that fascists hate.

    You have a lot to learn. You will not learn it now.

    I’ve learned that a lot of people claiming to care about humanity are just myopic egotists and lack basic maths skills. What are you suggesting needs learning?
