Comment on US farmers say Trump’s $12bn package not enough to undo damage from tariffs

There isn’t a way to tell a Nazi they are wrong without challenging their beleifs.
There isn’t going to be a “nice way” to convert fascists into reasonable people.
If they cared about other human beings, OR cared about understanding the world around them, they wouldn’t have fallen down this easily avoidable pitfall

Your assumption is they’re all Nazis. Many are guilty merely by association, and are currently conflicted between deeply-ingrained loyalty programming and knowing that shit ain’t quite right here. It’s those fighting with their conscious that can be won over IF you don’t antagonize them by being too angry to help them see the light.

You are describing the internal conflict Nazis have
The citizens of Nazi Germany went through the same shit but we still called them Nazis because that’s what they are.

And there are those on both sides who sympathize with the other side. Absolutism & psychology often don’t mix well.
