> Marcos understanding of this situation is extremely telling for a fundamental problem with many americans relationship with politics. Most only get involved around election. After that their political interest is non existing.
Translation: he disagrees with me therefore he must not follow or understand politics. Do I have any proof of this? No.
Reality: Those that actually follow politics and keep informed are the ones who are really disgusted by Trump.
>It's easy to get lured into the idea that politics is a simple choice between the moral good and the moral bad, that the choice is simple and that there is a one to one relationship between what you vote for and what you get.
Translation: I'm assuming people who disagree with me have this simplistic view of politics without any proof.
Reality: Trump is a unique and scary fascist beast. McCain and Romney and every other candidate for decades has been a great, upstanding, person morally. They had the fitness to lead and I simply disagreed with them on some policy points. This is a different beast entirely. The fact that you don't see this actually tells me you don't follow politics at all and are assuming that this election is the same as others.
>If you don't want dissent, fine just admit it. That way at least you are being honest. Don't wrap your lack of political understanding into some claim of decency.
Translation: If you disagree with me or rebuke racism and sexism you must not want dissent.
Reality: dissent is fine and encouraged. We'd have loved Rubio or Jeb but that isn't what we got.
