    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.

        You’re excuses for not doing what you can to oppose fascism. Nobody cares about the rationalizations of the people that do nothing when facing fascism.

        When it’s all said and done, social media will be considered just a tool fascists used to promote complacency to the stupid. Whatever you post on social media will just be put into that bucket, no one will think you were being bold because you posted some lame excuses on social media.

          Wut. There’s loads of people in the US who have died or been imprisoned fighting against fascism.

          How many people have tried to kill Trump at this point?

          The struggle is ongoing.
