    The very facy the Dems won in an election is a demonstration that they weren’t battling fascists yet.

    Trump and crew literally attempted to overturn the election and the Dems did next to nothing. If we can’t recognize fascist actors before they’ve fully seized control of government then we will never have effective resistance to these types of movements.

      Are you forgetting how almost everyone who stormed the Capitol was arrested?

      Politically, they Impeached trump and only craven Republicans saved him.

      The rest is supposed to be on the voters, more than half of whom decided they were okay with what had happened. As is their unfortunate democratic right, that’s literally how it works.

          Like I said:

          You know what could have given trump problems? More Dems in the Senate either time he was Impeached!

            To be clear: they didn’t convict because he was leaving office in a few days anyway. because there was no need for a political solution when the doj can just do what it exists to do.

            there was no need to impeach him at that point.

            Hey, you know, it might be political if you don’t suck trump off.

            Maybe you should get on that. wouldn’t want to be political.

            (Fun fact, not doing something because it might be political is a political act, coward.)
