I’m concerned that there is no doubt this is what America wants.
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.
...What, being like Canada? 👀
