Gotta admit, I expected this admin to speedrun fascism, but I'd be lying if I said I was expecting it as soon as April

I just saw this poll (not mine and cannot verify integrity), that if accurate, would suggest Maga are loving it.
- I genuinely think that most maga just are fully uneducated about what is currently happening. Most probably don't even know that people have been disappeared. Their bubble is so fucking densely packed with stupid, nothing real gets in
  
  nothing is more damaging to a society than the willfully ignorant.
  
  Even if they do know, they almost certainly are buying into the 'he's a criminal and deserves to be deported' bit.
  
  they are constantly distracted with outrage, so they dont know the actual things are going on.
  
  Ironic. that phrase coming from Lemmy is le pure distilled irony hahaha
  
  I agree. But it is true. The difference in the outrage is whether anything is verifiable.
  We have facts, they have fee fees
  
  I have ran into them and most didn't even know the guy they sent to El Salvador was fully legal
  
  Tbf, we've spent the last 8+ years making sure echo chambers become the name of the game and completely breaking down discourse from "across the aisle" so to speak to the degree where we mostly don't interact with them, and they mostly don't interact with us. We've set it up like this seemingly intentionally, if all they do is watch fox and truth social and neither of those places are talking about it (tbf I'm kinda with you on this, idk if they are talking about it because I'm not there either, so), how can we expect them to have heard about it?
  Like sure we're all aware of it here, where they aren't, but have they heard of it where they are? And how do we fix it, go there ourselves and tell them? Might be too late, tbh.
  
  Something will have to happen that punches through all bubbles. I hate to say it but the most likely scenario at this point is a mass casualty event that is unquestionably perpetrated by the trump regime. May shock enough of them out of it, but likely would be spun as justified somehow.
  That's it though. I can't think of anything else.
- So what you're telling me is that across the board a third to half of all Americans are disgusting pigs who deserve everything that's coming for them?
  
  I am sorry for the rest, but there's nothing I can do for them except saying migration also works the other way.
  
  Exactly. As a European it's absolutely high time that we cut all ties with these lunatics and stop letting them into our continent!
  
  I think the takeaway for me is that there is a decent % of humanity in every nation that see the world differently. We can only see what our mind is capable of.
- The hard truth is that fascists cannot be redeemed or convinced. He was quite popular among a good portion of the German population long after the war. Even into the 1950s a large portion of the population still didn't accept Germany's responsibility for the war. The truth is a lot of the generation that was most affected by the Nazi propaganda, the age bracket that really voted Hitler into power? Most of them never lost those Nazi ideals and kept them right until they died of old age. There's a reason so many works of fiction in the second half of the 20th century feature groups of old Nazis working one evil scheme or another.
