It’s exactly what you said. In what way am I misrepresenting what you said?
You guys fall back on this sad, “oh you’ve been lied to by the LiBeRaL MSM” nonsense every time.
Trump is running on an
openly fascist platform—I’m talking about from his own mouth and in his own words. I don’t need the media to spin shit. Replacing government officials with loyalists (something that
has already begun, btw), travel bans, rounding up his political opponents (him he equates to subhuman vermin), “retribution,” is all shit directly from his own mouth.
Any time we don’t get our knees and fellate his fat ass, you guys trot out the old “you’ve been brainwashed by the media“ excuse. Get some new material.
And btw, this pearl of wisdom right here that you dropped is wrong AF too:
Someone can absolutely seize power; more likely is that someone could be voted in but then
consolidate power in all sorts of fascist, unconstitutional ways. One big misconception I see a lot is this idea that Trump would need the support of the whole US military to do that, and that’s just not true. Aside from the fact that if elected POTUS, Trump would be Commander-In-Chief anyhow, think of 1930s Germany: was it the German military going around rounding up Jews, perpetrating things like Krystallnacht and Night of the Long Knives?
No.
It was the SS and SA,
private paramilitary groups with loyalties to Hitler. Something like that is easily replicable, especially as there’s no shortage of right wing wackjob militia psychos who‘d love ro have the job.
And how did the SS and SA start? As small, little groups that provided “private security” at Hitler’s speeches and rallies. Frankly, I’m surprised that Trump hasn’t done the same thing already.
I thought everything would mellow out too, but conservatives doubled down on Trump so here we are again. It’s really as simple as that.
They couldn’t move on from him, so now the rest of us can’t either.
