Any number of deaths is worth the fantasy, apparently

My favorite part is this is exactly what the dems are doing with Trump, their startegy since the beginning was not to stop Trump and just wait for him to ruin the country enough that people vote for them again. They were saying as much earlier in the year too. Hilarious to see after they called all their detractors accelerationist before deciding to join in.
Are you talking about pre election? Of course you can do something about Trump by not electing him. After Trump won, there’s nothing left to do except let him show everybody why it was a bad idea.

“Let the fascist burn down society unopposed” is not exactly a fucking recipe for anything except empowering fascism.

People don’t touch the hot stove and learn their fucking lesson. People touch the hot stove and blame the liberals for burning them.

There is no effective opposition plan to fascism that involves ceding uncontested control to fascists

When I hear comments like this, I think that in your eyes democracy is optional when you have somebody like Trump in office. He’s clearly a fascist, so democrats need to arrest him and put a democrat in charge.

If you belong to a party that values democracy, you need to recognize that the fascist is an elected officials and do what you can legally do to maintain control and make sure the voters know who is to blame.

You do realize there are other options for opposing fascism than “A coup” right?

Yeah, and democrats are doing many things. I think what California is trying to do to counter Texas’s redisctricting is an example.

What are things you think Democrats should be doing that they are not?
