Can you defend Trump? As near as I can tell he doesn't have any actual stances. He contradicts himself constantly. He acts like a child instead either a politician or a statesman. He turns down expert briefings. He appears to be embezzling money by having his security stay at his properties. He takes far too much vacation. He has a curiously large amoutn of ties to Russia and appears to have at least some unsavory ties with Russia. Anyone supporting this idiot is not qualified to pick a leader. I say that having voted for democrats an republicans.
I think many people are having to face what their "side" has become, in a bit more clarity than they are comfortable with. The Republicans traditionally kept the fascism and racism hidden to some degree, but Trump simply isn't capable of that.
So they retreat into philosophical arguments about how you can't deny Nazi's free speech, because that's unamerican and a slippery slope. While Republicans continue their decades of voter suppression in plain view, which is apparently cool. What about "I may not agree with your vote but I'll fight to the death to ensure it gets cast and counted"?
No, they know they need the votes of Nazis and racists, they know they need to suppress minority votes. They know they need to tell horrible lies to get angry rubes to vote against their own interests. They know they need to demonise minorities. And they're slowly coming to terms with the fact that "their side" could never win without all this. But they still feel dissonance so they down-vote and try to think of a way to spin it so they have the moral high ground. As if Trump isn't going to remind us they don't, every single day.
I think you are correct in several things, perhaps all things.
I am cool with nazis voting and I even think nazis should have freedom of speech. What is not OK is calls to violence and any other form of speech that directly hurts people (doxing, revenge porn, etc...). This is already illegal in this country and is in no way a slippery slope. We just need to enforce existing rules and laws.
You demand that we "kill all XXX" go to jail, end of story. That is not censorship, that is how you build a society.
