Why are the Democrats in congress afraid to call Trump voters what they truly are?

[shockey80]

The followers of a fascist, a fascist movement. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is fact. I spelled it all out in a recent post. What are they afraid of?

They are rigging elections, attacking the free press, running a propaganda campaign, attacking the entire justice system. I am not making anything up, I am not exaggerating. It's happening.

If Trump gets enough fascists elected to congress then it is to late to call it out.

1. Perhaps because they're trying to win elections...

...and painting EVERY Trump voter with that brush is a bad way to do so.

4. Yep, that whole "Deplorable" comment didn't help Hillary move the ball forward.

In 2018, trying to out-Trump Trump with the name-calling isn't likely win new voters to Dem candidates or energize existing ones.

Dem candidates' best bet is to push strong kitchen-table policies that will improve the lives of the typical voter: Health Care, etc.

2. Like who cares?...much more important to get out our voters, leave tantrums

3. I see Democrats talking about these abuses all the time

On CNN, in other media, on Twitter and Facebook. Maybe you haven't noticed?

5. They are by definition NAZI's, its true, they are.

6. Right now, they don't need to call them anything. Just focus on getting OUR voters out to vote

There are more of us than them. And leave the deplorables to themselves.

8. I AGREE with you.

But calling out the fascism of Trumpsters, the Nazification of America only seems to generate comments here on DU about "calming down", and "this is not helpful" and other such BS.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then guess what? It's Fascism.

People like Malcom Nance have been ringing the alarm bell for almost 3 years now. If America doesn't take back our country in less than 2 weeks, our democracy will be lost.

OUR DEMOCRACY WILL BE OVER.

9. It's not good politics because it would alienate independents.

We need every vote we can get. We gain nothing by publicly shaming Trump voters.
