I’m concerned that there is no doubt this is what America wants.

...What, being like Canada? 👀

Well, it’s more like 15 million people didn’t vote that voted in the last election. Lots of reasons for that 15m, but there was definitely an effort to create pathetic non-voters

Which means 15m people don't mind being fascists, which functionally is the same as they actively want to be fascists.

~~But hey at least they don't want to be Canada... I guess?~~

I know it’s easy to say that they don’t mind being fascists but I’ve been talking to a lot of relatives and I believe it’s more of a mix of being misinformed, passionate and then on top of that disadvantaged. Resulting in a type of apathy that allows them to stand by.

They don’t register the threat the way you and I might, just like in Germany they will fold into the fascist party all the same.

In Germany they had a name for these kind of people, it was still Nazi.
