Well obviously - me as well - but I'm being told by extremists here that any support for a Trump supporter makes me a Nazi, and I don't want to be one of those.

Why would you let an extremist dictate how you live your life? First, just do the right thing. Second, by labeling them an extremist you are acknowledging that they are not the normal, not the majority.

Most of the rural people (including many farmers) just want change. Sucks that they fell or are still falling for the bullshit. But many farmers aren't Trump loving conservatives.

Support your local farmer. Have a conversation with them. Maybe you might actually understand each other and make a difference together. This is far better than giving the giant corporation your money and hoping they do the right thing with it. They won't.

You don't even need to support a Trump supporter to be a Nazi, you just need to mention something not great about his main competitor.

  • "Biden could've done better at..." - Nazi
  • "Harris ran a poor campaign." - Nazi
  • "My coworker liked one thing Trump said." - Nazi (you too because Nazi bar)
  • "My coworker doesn't like Harris' position on..." - Nazi

I've never voted for Trump in my life, and I even held my nose and voted for Biden in 2020. I didn't vote for Harris in 2024 because I realized Trump would win my state by 20+% regardless, so I might as well support a third party.

So I guess I'm a Nazi. Well, it was a good run, I guess I need to go punch myself in the face because that's what I do to Nazis...

Oh yeah, I've seen my fair share of it. People here pretend that they're only calling these huge incidences Nazis, but you're exactly right. All you have to do is move a little out of line, and you're eaten by your own.

Fairly accurate.
