Now that the greater evil has taken power, you never talk about actually fighting it

We did fight it, and won, in 2020. In 2024 a few people stopped fighting, so we lost. And now the people who were complaining about Biden being evil are being deported for speaking their mind.

This reply is a perfect example of the disconnect between liberals and leftists. The democrats did not meaningfully fight fascism in 2020-2024! As I've said elsewhere, fighting fascism effectively would have entailed hanging Trump after J6. Instead they allowed Trump to get away with a coup attempt. This allowed the fascists to iteratively test coup strategies, and they might have found the correct one this time around.

Aside from other considerations, you don't want to turn Trump into a martyr—maybe in February 2017 they should have made Mar-a-lago a prison where Trump could/can only communicate with the outside world by writing or silent videos.

Had Biden resigned into an honorable retirement between, say, Feb 2022 to Feb 2024, Harris probably would have won in 2024; but power corrupts, or reveals, or something. When Mussolini died, he was only 61 years old.

And how would that happen? After all, the Supreme Court gave him immunity, and all Democrats controlled was the presidency. So you're saying Joe Biden should've told the Supreme Court and every other court to suck it, and used I assume the military to arrest and execute Trump while skipping due process?

I don't think that's fighting fascism. That's implementing it.

What needed to happen was for Trump to not win a second time. Had he died at home peacefully we wouldn't be in the shit right now, and we wouldn't have even needed to do the fascism ourselves to stop it. People just needed to fucking stop the fascist from winning the election.

Uhhh antifascists drag him out of whatever hole he tries to hide in and hang him from a lamppost? The Mussolini Special, if you will.

The ones not being deported are attempting to on top their high horse and act like them not voting was somehow better than the alternative.
