While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
… the only other relevant candidate will be.
A deeply flawed option who is still fffucking obviously better than a bigoted narcissist openly promising a minor dictatorship. Just the tip.
I’m seriously asking what do you think will happen if trump loses (or is declared the loser)?
You’ve made it clear what you’re worried about if trump wins. What happens if trump loses?
I literally just told you. The only other relevant candidate wins.
Do you need a diagram or something?
I’m not being clear: what happened the last time trump lost?
The same thing. The only other candidate won. Same guy. Are you having a stroke?
If there was a “riot” in the capitol last time trump lost, what do you think will happen this time?
If you take stuff like project 2025 seriously and believe trump is a fascist threat then why do you think it matters how leftists vote?
You shouldn’t be out here scolding me for not paying homage to genocide Joe, you ought to be training.
Fascists not needing to attempt a coup, because they just won outright, would be better.
Somehow.
Apparently.
Fuck off.
Historically speaking fascists were granted power by centrists and liberals, not through winning elections.
You could examine different fascist movements and make the case that they have to take power outside of the democratic process because the fascist project is predicated on the weakness and degeneracy of the state and winning an election would reify the very orifice of power that they were granted it through!
Look at what happened when trump won. Everyone was calling him a fascist then, and he ran on opposing the administrative state but was immediately hamstrung by it once in power.
“Giving assholes power is better somehow because uhhhhh sometimes assholes take power anyway!”
Fuck off.
