The problem is that the democrats are playing the game called “democracy.” The Republicans stopped following the rules of the game because they don’t want to play it anymore. If the Democrats do what the Republicans do, then the game is no longer be played. You can’t really give up on democracy and then bring it back. It rarely ever works that way.
If you cede the ground of democratic norms, rules, and policies just to win, you ultimately lose because you no longer have a democracy. In many respects, getting the Democrats to start doing the same thing is precisely what the Republicans want. Because that means they can finish burying democracy, and they’re better positioned to win the game called “fascism.”
Yeah, but as this election showed, people cant be trusted. Theres no need to try and preserve our “democracy” because our democracy led to this. Instead, democrats just need to take over via any means neccassary.
Sounds like a brilliant plan. “They’re being fascist so we have to be fascist!” has worked so well in history.
You effectively said, “I didn’t do anything to change anyone’s mind, and neither did the party that I support through the bare minimum of voting once every four years, so since the majority of people in this country don’t agree with me, I think I want to play fascism instead of democracy too! Except I’m the good kind of fascist! I just don’t think the majority of voters should get their way, that’s all.”
The board is set. The dems can pretend democracy as usual but it will all be fruitless. Now is the time to peel back any remaining facade of the america we once knew and go toe to toe with the fascist take over. The longer we wait the deeper they will burrow into the heart of this nations government and one morning you’ll just wake up living in a fascist regime.

Hard eye roll on that one.
Yep. Pretty simple. As evidenced, humans wont do that ght unless they are forced to do right. Glad to see you understand so well.

You can’t beat fascism with fascism. It doesn’t work that way.
Fascism won. The democrats proved they can’t beat fascism, period.
