Trump has called his opponents fascists a million times.

[overallduka]

This word really means nothing at this point, like racist, it's so misused that it has lost its meaning.

[indy]

Yes, and wasn't it silly of him to call his opponents Fascist?

[kristiandupont]

It sure was but you were implying that this was a problem with the left.

[indy]

So maybe the left should reduce their usage of the word? Especially if they want to win over some of the people that voted for Trump in this election?

Just a thought

[kristiandupont]

Yeah, you all keep making that point. But I don't believe for a second that a single voter went with Trump because the libs had called them mean words.

[indy]

Well your belief is wrong. The libs have spent years calling people of certain backgrounds, ethnicities and genders as fascist, racist, homophobic, sexist, transphobic, deplorable.

This behaviour culminates in what you're seeing.

[kristiandupont]

I know that they have, but that's not why people voted for Trump. You just like to say that to try and make it look like something the libs brought on themselves.

And as you agreed, Trump does the same, more than anyone. So unless you are openly stating "the left should behave more decent than the right if they want votes", there is a problem in your logic as well.
