      When democrats lose: “We could’ve had a utopia if you had simply voted for us!”

      “We could have averted fascism” is “utopia” now?

      Funny, but considering that you repeatedly insisted that you didn’t give a fuck how many Americans and Palestinians have to die to satisfy your urge for political purity in the run-up to the election, unsurprising.

        Like how biden winning in 2020 averted fascism? Also, don’t make things up about me, I did not insist any such thing.

          Yes, if you will remember, we were not under a fascist regime in 2020-2024. I understand that’s a hard thing for bougie middle-class kids to understand, but some of us actually have to deal with the government in our day-to-day lives.

          Also, don’t make things up about me, I did not insist any such thing.

          This comment chain where you cheerfully opine that an intensified Palestinian genocide doesn’t matter because it’s all the same destination anyway you?

            Interesting how both republicans and democrats call each other fascists. Seems like everyone hates fascism!

            But of course you must be right, america surely paused all of their fascist activity from 2020 to 2024. Biden is so stronk what would we do without him holding back the fascist flood?

              Prepare yourself for a shock- the Nazis called themselves socialists and the North Koreans call their country a democratic republic.

              Sometimes some people use words properly and sometimes other groups of people use those words improperly for propaganda reasons.

              But I’m sure that can’t possibly be the case here. It’s not like you can legitimately call an incoming administration literally working out the details in putting up concentration camps right now fascist. Not one where the incumbent president is literally promising to be a dictator.

              I just don’t see the fascism connection there, do you?

                Or maybe things aren’t black and white like that, and labelling things as fascist isnt very useful right now.

                Both parties do horribly awful stuff to both american citizens and people from around the world.

                Also trump didnt takeover, he won an election. Trump represents america whether you like it or not. Its funny how people outside america aren’t nearly as surprised he won.

                  What do you think “fascism” is? Like, this line of argument worked ten years ago because people didn’t know what the fuck they were looking at, but now? NOW?!

                    Not everyone jumps to conclusions as quickly as you, its not a race do see who can declare something fascist as prematurely as possible.

                    Maybe if y’all could connect the dots better more democrats would have voted.

                  Hitler won his election too. And twice as well. I’m not sure why that makes it okay or Trump not a fascist.
