    I think we have to accept that the American electorate actually wants fascism.

      It’s more that Harris did such a terrible job that even the other side being literal Hitler didn’t save her.

        Bro, in don’t care how bad Harris is/was. If you prefer trump to her, it’s on you.

        As always, mathematically not voting is equivalent to voting for the winner, since it’s a vote that didn’t change the result. So yeah. The above statement rings true.

          As easy as it is to blame voters, the American electorate didn’t want fascism. That’s just false. Harris dug her own grave by actively discouraging voters who didn’t want fascism. This electorate is the same one that elected Biden in 2020 and (mostly) the same one that elected Obama in 2008 and 2012. They just wanted a real candidate and Harris wasn’t that.

          Leftist fascism is called fascism, because the term leftist doesn’t actually mean anything but fascism and communism do.

        They elected the candidate backed by Russia, which is still the shining beacon of a global superpower for the Tankies out there. So I guess Trump is a perfectly fine representative of fascism, left or right.
