      It’s pretty naive to think there is any other country on the planet that could cause the world more damage if turned fascist.

      I never said that, and I’m confused how you got that from my comment.

      In fact, if you look through my history, you’ll see I’ve said if the US goes fascist, that will be a huge problem for the whole world.

      I’m not downplaying the threat at all – quite the opposite. We’re on the same side, and I’m not sure why you’re attacking me here.

      Ah yes, Europe never had to deal with such far right-wingers. We’d like borrow the term you guys came up with to describe them in case we ever face such violent fascists. What was it again?

      Oh right, Nazis.

        Those were mostly dead before you were born and you have likely never personally suffered at the hands of right wing violence.

        My niece had her hand broken by a rancid nazi flag waving trumpfucker for having the gall to stand up for trans rights, but I’m sure the old-timey pro-nationalist graffiti you’ve have occasionally been forced to observe was just as harmful.

        There are literal hard right militias training with military grade equipment on our own soil RIGHT NOW, and it is likely that most of the police force will join them.

        No one you know or love is at threat more than my own family right now and I will NOT sit by quiet while greasestains like you try and marginalize this.

          Not that I don’t agree with you, but do you really think the elderly edgelord forum warrior shtick is the best play? Taking a point from your own posts, is it really a good idea to post content online that might alienate potential allies? Food for thought.
