    Yeah he’s ticking all of the boxes, but he’s doing it in crayon. That makes people think it’s not a big deal, but it really is.

    Americans have gotten used to fascism and they mostly like it. This has opened the door for someone more competent to step in and do things even more horrible things than Trump has done.

      Nah most Americans hate Trump.

      And most US Americans hate Trump too.

      He’s literally never had the majority of either population behind him.

        Two thirds of American voters either voted for or Trump or didn’t bother to vote at all. So about a third of the population wants fascism, and another third of the population is fine with it happening.

        You’re thinking it’s all about Trump, but another more competent fascist could take his place and tell people that he didn’t like some of the things Trump did, but he hates the same scapegoats Trump hated (and maybe add a few more to the list) and easily win an election.

        It’s really the Democrats most Americans hate. You now have Democrats having to say that they hate Democrats too to try to get people to vote for them. Americans have been trained to hate the political opposition to fascism, look at all the “Chuck Schumer only writes letters WTF” memes. it’s not just the elderly that have been duped, most young people are in some radical anti-liberal group or another.

          The US isn’t a democracy.

          You can’t blame voters when they’re being disenfranchised and there’s no progressive candidate on the ballot.
