That you'd rather see democracy dismantled and live under a dictatorship than have the opposing side win the election. I'm as left as it gets, but I can't imagine giving that up to keep the Conservatives from winning.G2000 wrote: How so? Genuinely asking. I can understand disagreeing, don't get me wrong, it's certainly a hardline stance and I know our views are pretty much irreconcilable, but I don't quite see how it's baffling.
I saw your article. I get your concern is that this is an either-or situation (one of the reasons I'm critical of your two-party system, but I digress), but, so far as I can tell, the article is merely speaking hypothetically. It's also from a source that I recognize to be politically biased, and while that's hard to avoid these days it's important to recognize.
To my eyes, when I see you post that article and then make that claim that you'd rather live under a dictatorship ruled by Trump, it strikes me as someone searching for a way to defend his candidate's line of thinking. I see someone who's made their political beliefs, and in doing so their support of Trump, their identity. Someone who's pillars of their identity might break if they admit any wrongdoing on Trump's part, even something as egregious as this.
I'm no psychologist. I don't even pretend to be particularly intelligent. But your behavior strikes me as... cult-like.
But, I'm sure you see leftists like me as cultish as well. I know what I wrote won't be changing your mind about anything; but maybe it at least answers your question.
