Yeah but people still lost 16 years of their lives under his bullshit.
The thing about policies are that they have longer effects than the tenure of those that implemented them.
Executing Donyy Shitpants tonight wouldn’t undo all of the damage his administration has done.
For example, the damage Doge did to federal agencies might take decades to recover from and that’s only if there’s a nonpartisan effort to fix it.
Actually it would give pause to the next wannabe dictator. Violence is sometimes the correct course of action
man you must believe some pretty crazy shit. give us another morsel from your beautiful diversity
Yeah, bullets still work.
This gets to the heart of the issue. The article would have us wait for an election to magically wipe away everything wrong
Don't know about y'all, but I don't want to wait another decade before we handle America's fascist problem.
Orban was in power for 16 years.
The only good thing Hitler did was kill himself. I hope Trump will be capable of doing one good thing too. It's not a question if it will fall, but when. So far in history, fascist regimes didn't survive for long.
Eh. Hitler blew his brains out because he was on the cusp of being captured and undoubtedly executed.
Gonna take that for Trump to do the same, and even then, I doubt he would. Too full of himself.
I'm fine with a Gaddafi or Mussolini ending.
No, no, no. He shouldn't get the easy way out.
I hope he lives for a long time, and that he spends that long time in prison for the things he did.
He already lived for a long time, and every minute he lives he does horrible stuff.
Would that still be the case if sentenced and imprisoned?
Yes. He has too much power, wealth and influence. He will use it to destabilize any of his opponents and country. He will try anything to get out. He even became president a second time to avoid prosecution for sexually abusing children, among other crimes he committed, for which he just lost the first case already.
USSR survived for 70+ years (and russia is back to square 1 for a at least 2 decades now). North Korea almost 80 and counting.
So I really don't know... A European country has many checks and balances that other countries don't have.
As for the USA, what's the ultimate check for the most powerful country in the world if their own systems don't work anymore?
USSR: not fascist. North Korea: not fascist.
A few countries had a fascist regime for a longe period, but it all ended. See this list.
The countries with a longer period: Spain, Syria, Haiti, South Africa, Portugal, Lebanon.
Hitler also taught us how to deal with this.
I mean, what's to stop these guys from just calling off elections altogether? That's what Hamas did in Gaza.
And the guy who replaced him is just as bad.
Slightly but significantly less bad. For now.
Why?
