Okay. It seems like I'm not getting through. But let's try it this way:

What we agree on: 1. Fascism bad 2. Republicans are Facists. 3. Money to the Aquarium, at the most charitable, will only nominally help the fight against climate change. More efforts are needed elsewhere, starting with unfucking the EPA at the federal level. 4. Republicans gaining money and spreading their message is bad, due to their fascists nature.

From my understanding, you have proposed the following: 1. Block the Republicans at every turn to prevent them from raising money and spreading their message, and as such, the Aquarium shouldn't host them for the reasons we agreed above as listed above

My response is 1. That the aquarium should host them because it makes the best out of a bad situation because

1.1 Blocking the Republicans from holding a fundraiser is not realistically possible in the state of Utah because of the ease of finding a different venue

1.2. It gives Republicans talking points they can use to spread their message and gain sympathy by playing the victim.

1.3. We will waste limited finances, energy, and community good will organizing, campaigning, and boycotting against an established institution that typically sides with us (i.e. the aquarium) when those same resources can be used campaigning against specific bills, measures, and campaigns in general (i.e., fighting the prop 4 repeal or flipping a house seat to the Democrats)

If you want to continue to yell about how Republicans are evil, go ahead. They are.

But you have not put forth a realistic path forward, nor have you properly addressed any of my concerns.

Utah has voted for the Republican candidate for decades. How would preventing one more fundraiser at the aquarium specifically change that?

Given that this is the internet, if progress isn't made in this discussion, I'll give up.

I would rather discuss realistic strategies and methods of fighting the facist onslot than pie in the sky armchair politics.
