By worshipping the musings of the 20 something, slaveowning, landowning, white men who set out to create a nation built on the wholesale genocide of Native Americans.

By continuously degrading wages, prohibiting public transport, withholding healthcare, perpetual wars, diminished education, disenfranchising voters, and the bipartisan effort to concentrate power to the executive? Fascism is not a new phenomenon. The reasons for its proliferation are well-documented, and even as leftists have accurately pointed these out, they’ve been laughed away by liberals. The liberal framework cannot explain how fascism takes rise.

Ruzzian propaganda!

How’s that 100 years of “voting for the lesser evil” treating you?

Naive as hell. Yall are a joke. Way to avoid any of my questions.

Yall are the type who’d be ridiculing a 1940s German Jew for not voting liberal. This is why leftists accurately point out that liberals will side with fascism when things get rough.

If, in 30 years, when the choice is between a democrat who wants 20 genocides and a republican who wants 21, will you still be voting blue? This is why people call you blue maga. There is no red line. You all will sacrifice however many Palestinians or Ukrainians it takes to bide time till the next election cycle when the Democratic party is definitely going to have a liberal Renaissance led by AOC and Bernie, and fascism will be defeated and we can all dance for joy. Never mind the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinian children it took to get you there.

Do you think Germans in mid 1930’s Germany had a duty to vote liberal despite democracy having already been thrown out the window? As people were getting sent to death camps and there was zero hope of fair and free elections, did Germans have a duty to vote blue? Or did they have a duty to start getting organized with vulnerable groups, learning sabotage, and getting armed?

Your “pragmatic” utilitarianism has resulted in a genocide and an incinerated planet. Your empire is over and devolving into fascism, and it’s time you start realizing that.

In democracy, politicans represent constituents. Biden and Kamala ignored constituents. Biden and Kamala lost. This is how democracy works. This outcome was more American than apple pie.

So, despite its ability to “easily” be amended, it still enshrines the right to enslave people? How is that supposed to make me feel better?

Stop apologizing for your wack ass constitution that was made solely by 20 something, white, male landowners. We are seeing now how easy it is to throw it out. Weak ass document.

You were fine with fascism abroad. It’s only domestic fascism you have an issue with. Typical liberalism.

Seven out of ten Nazis killed in WWII were at the hands of the Soviets.

The US constitution explicity enshrines the right to enslave people. I know of no other constitution with such a stipulation. All of the other rights you mention go out the window when people can just straight up be enslaved.

All my listening [in my car] is through headphones off my phone.

This is unsafe at best. Illegal at worst.

VP already has the same requirements as president in the main body of the Constitution.

Show me how this keeps Trump from being allowed to succeed into POTUS. Yall are backpedalling because you’ve never actually read the Constitution.

The 22nd amendment prohibits Trump from doing this

No it doesn’t

well sure, but the “main body” (the articles…) does

But the clear intent is to…

And there’s the rub. You have an extremely weak and vague Constitution that everyone has so far just agreed to follow with a wink wink, nod nod. Once the first demagogue showed up, that shit went out the window.

What are you talking about? The amendment makes no mention of VP or succession.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Biggest evidence of fascism I see is a constitution which explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people.

The 22nd amendment does not prohibit Trump from serving a third term. It prohibits Trump from being elected a third time. Weak ass document.

If you didn’t buy a gun and start keeping your gas tank full months ago, now is the time.

Lol, Tom Cruise is sad.

Strawman. Never did I say that the things you mentioned dont play a role in facilitating fascism.

Poor education, MIC, captured media, sure… all of these things facilitate fascism.

My point is that your analysis does not get at the heart of how fascism arises or why america is going full throated fascist in recent years. Why do we have poor education? Why do we have a bloated MIC? Why has our mainstream media been captured? Why is conservatism increasingly in fashion?

You’re not going to get to the heart of these questions by ignoring class. You’ll especially fail to answer these questions if you just blame some nebulous concept of “conservatism” wholesale. Youve correctly identified the symptoms, but you still need to take the next step w/ class-based, material analysis.

Honestly dog, this is exactly the right question. I get it. Shoutout to you for asking it. Truly.

From the liberal perspective, this is exactly how it goes. “I voted against fascism, yet fascism still festers. What gives?”

The liberal framework pushes the idea that electoralism is the be all end all form of political participation, but leftists refute this. Leftists say that you have a plethora of other tools at your disposal to express yourself politically: buy a gun, do mutual aid, join an organization, read theory, participate in local politics, etc…

If your question is earnest, I’d encourage you to read some Lenin.
