It hasn't been stalled considering it got an even bigger win this time. It grew! That's even worst. But stalled isn't good either. Destroyed is what you're looking for, and you ain't going to get it from the makers of the material conditions that enable fascism to arise.
It didn't grow though. Trump got fewer votes this time than he did in 2020.
I want you to read this, and I want you to really understand.
I want you to think about this for at least the next week.
Because when you understand this, you will realize so much that you have ignored.
Fascism is simply an ideology.
How do you kill an idea? You kill the people who share the idea.
This next question is incredibly important.
So how do you propose we kill fascism? An idea that is known and shared with over seven billion people.
How would you stop it?
When people do not feel safety and security, they will first reach for scapegoats. When that doesn’t work, they will reach for a gun.
There are a lot of people hurting in this country, obviously a whole lot more than I thought. So the people have found their scapegoats this cycle, now we wait and see if it satisfies them.
Killing a people isn't killing an ideology. That said, as far as I'm concerned these animals (trump supporters) aren't even human, let alone entitled to rights. The only reason I'd ever advocate for their best interest is when it's in the best interest of actual people caught up in their horrid little towns and villages (it's me, I'm caught up in one of these horrid little places. It's bad.)
I meant more that it had been stalled in 2020
Yes that's what I said. It hasn't been stalled in 2020, it got worse since.
