It’s not that we can’t beat fascism, it’s that the amount of people that want fascism is way too high, and might soon to be the majority.
How do you save a country from something most of them want?
You manipulate them into losing elections until they get over it.
The only alternative history provides is going to war with them and winning. And that has been made significantlly harder by the dumb electorate of the world's largest superpower deciding that they were too good to show up for a democratic administration twice because they weren't leftist enough or eggs were too expensive or whatever entitled nonsense left of center Americans are dejected about this week on the Internet.
Are you sure that the majority wants it? Do they want actual fascism or they want what fascism promises? :)
If they refuse to be educated, does it matter?
You don’t need to educate anyone… I too would not trust someone who comes to me thinking of “educating” me :P
Think about what to do and plan and organize accordingly. Trying to be aligned more and more is just deleterious
What is your plan, exactly? I don't understand how we can rebel against fascism if there aren't enough people on the same page that it's bad.
Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, we should do what we can.
My point was more about that sometimes it’s a numbers game, so you get stuck between a rock and a violent place (as in violence or civil war might end up being the only options).
By taking on the media and social media companies that create the environment and sentiment that has produced the current political climate.
Perhaps in the Midwest, but I believe there are areas of the US that this doesn't represent such as the west coast.
I see a split amongst US inevitable and it was basically written in stone the day the Democrats supported genocide and again each time they choose billionaires over their constituents. In my opinion we need to start moving these states in that direction.
With a World War, apparently.
