It didn't STOP them when the Nazis were burning books.
It didn't STOP them when they were building concentration camps.
It didn't STOP them from joining to be a Nazi when they were gassing people.
And this is my same argument when I see people talk about 'good people' who voted for trump and need to be forgiven.
They knew he was a monster. He made no secret or apology for that. They knew he was an ableist, misogynistic, queerphobic, rapist greedy fascist monster who will do anything and everything to cling to as much power and money he can. and whatever reasons they might claim to have had for it?
NONE OF THAT STOPPED THEM.
When people show you who they are, believe them. When someone creates a housing crisis and starts all the mechanisms to destroy the NHS?
Believe they are the monster you see.
When someone decides to destroy the bonds between countries for no fucking reason other than pride and money, destroying countless lives and setting a progressive country on the path to fascism and self-destruction, believe they are the monsters you see.
When someone is categorically trying to erase queer people and intentionally, knowingly hires someone who is involved with one of the worst paedophile and sex crimes rings in history, believe they are the monsters they are.
And when people stand up for monsters that they know are monsters, whatever their excuses may be? It's okay to hold them accountable for those choices, whatever the reasons they have— or say they have— for making those choices.
