      how bad does it have to get before violence is acceptable? Before or after one is in the concentration camp?

          Popular vote doesn’t count in the presidential election in case you forgot.

          The ballot box is one of the four boxes, yes.

          This assumes that the upcoming election will be in any way fair.

          There is an organized effort to undermine the elections using the lessons learned from 2020, all based on getting this orange jackass back in office so he can use the immunity granted by him and his party’s SCOTUS hacks.

          I look forward to you opinion when states start to refuse to accept the results of their votes when they don’t go Republicans.

      Ask WW2 vets about how they treated white supremacist fascists. We’ve softened on them as a society.

        You mean aside from the WWII vets that were white supremacists?

        Seems like this is the kind of lesson that needs to be re-learned every few generations, and the last time was a few generations ago.

        You’d feel the same way if it was your preferred candidate?

        It’s not the way.

          My prefered candidate isn’t a fascist.

          Find a way that works to eliminate fascism, then we’ll talk. Until then, stop enabling them.

            Wait, are you saying I’m enabling fascism by not advocating political assassination?

              Advocating and disparaging are not the only two options.

                  I said enabling, not supporting. They are not the same.

              Advocating against assassination of an open fascist?

              Yes, you are enabling fascism.

              Fascists work to undermine the social contracts of tolerance and nonviolence and are therefore not protected by them.

      Republicans have stacked the courts and SCOTUS recently ruled that presidents can freely commit whatever atrocities they want in office.

      Since that ruling Trump is organizing a plan for retaliation similar to all of the worst authoritarian regimes.

      This way is fine.
