Wasn't the left calling Trump literally a giant orange?

I'm on neither side, nor a centrist. So don't come at me with that in mind. But both sides have horrible people doing similar shit, using their ideals as a scapegoat to do so. It's not inherent to Trump or people following him.

This “both sides” shit MAY have been applicable in his first term, but how his platform is literally built on discrimination and hate speech. You can’t be a trump supporter and not be inherently vile. Your attempt to appear un-biased does not make you seem as intelligent as you think it does.

“Between democracy and fascism, I choose neither.” - Obviously intelligent person, 2025

I get it, you’re trying to seem enlightened by appearing above it all, but your comment is flippant and detached from reality. Pretending democracy and fascism are equally bad isn’t wisdom. When one side is openly pushing authoritarian, discriminatory policies, it isn’t neutrality to choose neither, it’s opting out of responsibility, and pretending you’re profound for not acknowledging it doesn’t paint you in any sort of good light. You’re not standing above political discourse, you’re just stepping aside so others can get hurt.
