    So America is a two-party democracy where

    1. One of those parties is fascist and trying to install a fascist dictatorship
    2. The fascist party will enact said dictatorship only after accumulating enough power through elections
    3. The fascist party will abide by the result of elections that are not in their favor
    4. Any actions to reduce the ability of the fascist party to participate in elections is undemocratic
    5. Anyone exercising their democratic right to vote for the fascist party is contributing to the end of democracy (via item 1) but cannot be prevented from doing so by any means other than cajoling on social media.

    This make sense to everyone?

      It's the dead end of political pacifism. If you refuse to respond violently to a violent attack you're actually a noble person that honors humanity and totally not a loser than enables the power hungry sadist to terrorise innocents
