None of my coworkers are republicans. Some republicans are overtly advocating fascism most notably Trump and DeSantis.

You are the problem then. Fascism is historically stopped by calling folks out for supporting it before it takes hold as the only other way that fascism ends is with a war.

Calling out your friends, colleagues and coworkers for supporting fascism is the better choice considering the other options

here's the thing that's so amusing. OP didn't even say anything about who to vote for in the Brazilian election, which already happened, so what exactly are you babbling about?

​

You're either horrible at both reading comprehension and figuring out how linear time works, or you're just trying to get people to shut up about fascism. My guess is the latter, because I just don't think you're that dumb for it to be the former

>But the very idea of imposing over a democratic nation about who should or shouldn’t win is not ideal for the sovereignty of that country. you.

​

There was no imposing, people are allowed to speak freely about whatever they want, it's called free speech and it's essential to democracy. Conflating the two is dangerously pro authoritarian

Do you discriminate against Republican supporters at your workplace? Cos some people may argue that Republicans are fascist too.

Fascism is the opposite of what democracy stands for, I get it. But retaliating against someone for a choice they have made in an election isn’t what democracy stands for either. “Fuck Bolsonaro” doesn’t have to translate into “fuck this specific Brazilian for voting for him”.
