    Yeah all these people are acting like there was a ‘Stop Fascism’ button we just decided not to press which is just ignorant. It’s easy to be Mr. TearTheSystemDown from behind a keyboard an ocean away. If it really affects them so much and is so easy why not just come over and do it yourself?

      We sort of did have a ‘stop fascism’ button, but it was labelled Kamala Harris and a lot of people just weren’t really feeling like voting I guess.

          If it would keep trump out of office for another four years it would make the odds of him ever regaining power vanishingly small; he’d be in his mid eighties in the next election, and all the lawsuits against him wouldn’t have been thrown out.

          Say what you will about Biden, but he was pretty effective at pausing the slide into fascism. He strengthened ties with our allies and invested in infrastructure. If Harris had won we could have taken back the Supreme Court and actually started reversing course.

            He literally welcomed the fascist fuck in with open arms. He didn’t do shit to slow facism and it will be his legacy

              You think he should’ve refused to hand over the presidency? How exactly do you think that would’ve gone down?

                He could have not had a nice tea time with him, for one

                Or had him killed, or pointed out that Trump literally has no legal right to the office

                anything other than “oh hey Mr fascist welcome in let me take your coat and serve you food” like seriously?
