    Yeah all these people are acting like there was a ‘Stop Fascism’ button we just decided not to press which is just ignorant. It’s easy to be Mr. TearTheSystemDown from behind a keyboard an ocean away. If it really affects them so much and is so easy why not just come over and do it yourself?

      We sort of did have a ‘stop fascism’ button, but it was labelled Kamala Harris and a lot of people just weren’t really feeling like voting I guess.

          If it would keep trump out of office for another four years it would make the odds of him ever regaining power vanishingly small; he’d be in his mid eighties in the next election, and all the lawsuits against him wouldn’t have been thrown out.

          Say what you will about Biden, but he was pretty effective at pausing the slide into fascism. He strengthened ties with our allies and invested in infrastructure. If Harris had won we could have taken back the Supreme Court and actually started reversing course.

            I held my nose voting for him, but Biden was the best president of my lifetime.

      There was not nearly enough assassination attempts of Donald Trump between 2020 and 2024. You had your chance, and wasted it.
