@dangillmor Suppose Trump wants to be a fascist dictator, and has the majority of the GOP voters ready to support his fascist dictatorship.

If Trump wins, then the rest of us will have to fight the fascist dictatorship in the streets.

If Trump loses, the fascists - because they are hell bent on fascist dictatorship - will revolt and the rest of us will have to fight them in the streets.

Or, just maybe, the chance of a fascist dictatorship is being blown out of proportion by the DNC.

But just to be safe, you might want to get your black block gear ready.

@grumble209 @dangillmor let me explain something to you, do you understand fascism vs anarchy? under any leader is what is called fascism, fascism is a ruled from the top down system, where anarchy is ruled from the bottom up. would you say that maga is in control of the laws in place currently? authoritarianism is the either ruling party to use all executive powers to ensure total control.

@grumble209 @dangillmor you’re already in one. If you’re not fighting now, you won’t do anything later.
