    This is just plain awful.

    Those people who proclaim that Trump is a fascist and then when you ask "If he is really a fascist, are you telling me that the only thing you did about having a fascist government was to vote against them and complain about it to your friends on social media?" all they give you a vacant stare in response are bad enough.

    Here's a person telling you "There's a credible threat to democracy and I believe the people who are behind it have the power to achieve their goals" and their solution is to vote? Lol good luck. Did voting stop January 6th?

    This pitiful excuse for a call to action is the equivalent of discovering that your building is on fire and going on Facebook to remind everyone to check the batteries in their smoke detectors.

    Progressives have absolutely zero concept of praxis and that's entirely by design.

      well voting didn't stop january 6 because we didn't vote on it..see the problem is we didn't get to vote in that case and we have to vote to make sure we get the chance to vote next time before something like that can happen

      In America, it's freedom to only have one possible choice to vote for. In Russia, that's called dictatorship!!! smuglord

    There's no voting against fascists by supporting people who won't imprison or kill them. A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler.

      Yea but it's also the annoying thing these cowards do where they say that and then do the lol just joking unless thing.

      They're saying it to troll the libs but they would also do it if they thought they could get away with it.

    I would vote against them, but the other guy is doing a genocide. Feels slightly more important. Besides, we've already demonstrated the government can survive a coup attempt

    These people are such buffoons. They aren't even fascists. Just cosplayers pretending they picked the winning side, while enshittification eats their lunch along with everyone else's.

        They're sitting around a Jan 6th pinball table and listening to Liz Truss whine about her abbreviated tenure while the work of fascism is done by others for their amusement.

        This is, at best, the Netflix of Fascism.

          They are celebrating their last coup attempt while discussing the next one. The fact that they are comfortable, detached and stupid doesn't make them not fascists. Such descriptors also fit the nazis.

            They are celebrating their last coup attempt

            The temper tantrum on Jan 6th was barely a coup attempt. There was no leadership, no real plan of action, and no point to simply squatting in the capital while representatives - scared out of their minds at the mob - rushed Biden's certification through that much faster.

            The fact that they are comfortable, detached and stupid

            They're not the ones who are getting picked up and slapped with criminal charges by the DC Area DA's office. These were the clowns calling the Jan 6thers "Antifa" in the first hours of the riot and then quickly disassociating from them because of the embarrassment. They're only cheering it on now, long after the dust settles, because its an easy grift and a fun little fantasy.

              It was a full on coup attempt in which people stormed the fucking capitol and threatened to lynch politicians. That the people behind these insane movements are getting away with it is not proof it wasn't a coup attempt, it's proof of the same shit that the nazis getting a slap on the wrist for the beer hall putsch and their elite supporters getting off scott free was.

                people kinda just sauntered in as the cops stepped aside.. climbing the walls and shit was unnecessary and more for dramatic effect than anything else.. the vast majority of them just moseyed around the capitol and left when they were told to leave... a minority of them got uppity and a little bit pushy.. but even they fucked right off once a gun was fired
