Once fascists win power democratically, they have never been removed democratically. Not once. Ever.

@falseWhite what's crazy is that hitler wasn't even voted in- he was appointed, which means that fascists don't even PRETEND to play by the rules of democracy

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

He was appointed by the elected government

We forgetting when Americans voted out Trump now?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

We forgetting that the person who replaced him was also a fascist and then Trump got reelected anyway now?

From another commenter: https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-researched-every-attempt-to-stop

Trump wasn't full fascist yet in his first term. He was just getting the taste of that power.

You could also believe the rumours that he only won the second time due to rigging and voter fraud. Something he constantly kept accusing the dems of. And we know how much he projects.

I get it but do you actually think we won’t have elections in 2028 and that a democrat can’t win the presidency again?

We just had some elections and democrats absolutely destroyed in almost all of them

I know it’s mostly doom out there but this is absolutely not a full fascist takeover

My bet is that this is all a propaganda campaign.

Not once ever? Not even when Trump lost the 2020 election despite the jan6 raid on the capitol?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 hours ago

Which just resulted in a different fascist being elected, and then Trump got reelected anyway?

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The government wasn't anywhere near as fascist then as it is now.

So you're saying "No TRUE fascist", huh?
