    Since when did fascists need an election to gain power and whose support gave them that power?

    What you really got there is a big old tent of fucking fascists collaborators, which means from a practical standpoint, you’ve got a big tent full of fucking fascists. Those criticisms are the calls warning you that they will do nothing to stop the rise of fascism and, worse yet, are actively aiding its rise by stamping out any competition to their rule that will show strong opposition to fascism. These are warning calls that echo the realities of our history and you should heed them! Germany is not the only example mirroring this path.

    If you really want to dig a bit deeper into motivations, the Democrats will and have always supported right wingers over the left because they have more in common with the fascists than actual leftist movements. They are far more threatening than the Republicans simply in that they pretend they aren’t also right-wing and swindle people into acting against their own class interests.

    People see the fascist without the mask, but it’s much harder for them to recognize the monster when it instead smiles at them and removes the mask slowly.
