Reply to comment by Fryceratops in Pro-fascism Bolsonaro truck has been driving through Union County (and probably other areas in/around NJ & NYC) for 5+ months, blaring music. by JerseyGiantsFan

Do you discriminate against Republican supporters at your workplace? Cos some people may argue that Republicans are fascist too.

Fascism is the opposite of what democracy stands for, I get it. But retaliating against someone for a choice they have made in an election isn’t what democracy stands for either. “Fuck Bolsonaro” doesn’t have to translate into “fuck this specific Brazilian for voting for him”.

None of my coworkers are republicans. Some republicans are overtly advocating fascism most notably Trump and DeSantis.

You are the problem then. Fascism is historically stopped by calling folks out for supporting it before it takes hold as the only other way that fascism ends is with a war.

Calling out your friends, colleagues and coworkers for supporting fascism is the better choice considering the other options

There are definitely Republicans where you work. We just don't advertise it because of nutjobs like yourself. We just go and quietly vote.

There are 5 people at my job so I can say that no one is republican here. Remember you don't know me or anything about me.

The GOP is overtly against all Americans having equal rights. Why would you support that?

No, because the loud conservatives, like this guy, don't have jobs, let alone highly skilled ones that require years of education.
