doesn’t give the fascists ammunition that will be used against us

This is exactly what I was arguing against:

they will shoot you no matter what with

Remind yourself of every baseless lie the fascists have spread lately.

Why do you think that the Mexican flag is what is tipping anything over right now?

Remember immigrant caravans? With pictures blasted all over the Fox news?

There was a photo yesterday on Lemmy of a fallen over trash can with 50 photographers taking picture.

Reality doesn’t stop fascists, and those very minor details aren’t what’s making us lose the battle.

It’s not standing up for our principles.

Freedom, equity, tolerance, and punching fascists right into their face.

You stop doing any of that, and you will lose. No matter how ‘good’ your ‘optics’ are.
