The truth is that all of these fascists sound like morons and clowns. They’re buffoonish and stupid in how they read to anyone with an education (formal or informal). But then they gain power. And it’s not funny what they do, even though it’s the same moronic, buffoonish stupidity they’ve been saying and doing all along. Go back and read about the early Nazi party. People thought they were stupid clowns. And they were. And then they won on a technicality. And they were still stupid clowns. But with the power to do unbelievably horrible things.
So it doesn’t matter what you think of these people. It just matters what you do to them.
And the only thing to do with clownish buffoonish stupid people who want power is to make them know they are unwelcome in public wherever they are.
My partner wasn't able to watch those parts. She'd bury her head in my shoulder whenever a dog or other animal was on screen, and I'd have to tell her that the scene was over. It was rough.
