      Because we’re still all under the delusion that we live in a civilized country with laws and fairness.

      I think if people here had ever actually been in a fascist dictatorship before, those marches wouldn’t have ended with everyone going home and sharing pictures on social media, it would have ended with capitol buildings set ablaze and an embarrassed and disheveled president being dragged out to a military tribunal or locked in a jail cell until trial.

      You know, the thing that actually happens in places where this has happened before.

      Eventually the fascist will infiltrate and incite violence so they can move in and kill.

        And when they do, they need to be met by the same violence. It takes an awful lot to fight fascism, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, but that is where USA is. Innocent people are going to die before it gets better.
