We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
-- Elie Wiesel

They WANT us to be silent, but that is then compliance with their hate and fascist plan. This for me is also true about those voters who claim they voted for tRump but aren't themselves racists, bigots, or misogynists. They are, at the very least, tRump enablers and backed him, so to me, they're just as guilty as the guy mocking the disabled, making racist comments, and so on.
