    Americans will whine “but what about the democrats?!?” all the way down the road to fascism.

    Y’all didn’t vote for them, there’s nothing they can do. How about blame the fascism on on the fascists doing it?

      The democratic leadership are in the absolutely best position to lead the people against fascism though. You’d expect someone like their presidential candidate to stay in the spotlight, being a leader and showing the people what to do, by being at the protests, help planning civil disobedience against fascism, give people hope and will to fight, but instead the people have been left to fend for themselves, with no actual structure or union to gather behind. It’s doomed to fail if the resistance doesn’t have any leadership.

        Every single fascist dictatorship succeeds due to compliance from opposing parties. Liberalism itself was designed to be centrist and thus compliant.
