these people yelled for four years how Trump was the end of democracy but in even the most extreme hypothetical they cannot conceive that democracy might be dead as long as the ritual of voting for one of exactly two options is preserved.
Okay, it sucks that Hitler’s ghost is the only candidate but what are you going to do - not vote? That’s basically the same as a vote for Hitler’s ghost!
Bravely voting for the guy who will immediately and enthusiasticly adopt the policies of the guy he didn’t vote for is actually a very good analogy for voting for the Dems.
My fellow liberals, Mussolini wasn’t voted into power.
Mussolini was literally invited into power to “restore order” by the liberals themselves because they didn’t know how to deal with the communists taking over the country.
Mussolini’s fascism was the first successful test case of a liberal experiment to brutally crush Leninism in Europe following the Bolshevik Revolution. Hitler followed in Mussolini’s footsteps.
Even funnier, Mussolini was invited into power by the litteral King of Italy, in a move that liberal historians are still struggling to describe in a way that doesn’t mention “class interest of the aristocracy”
I literally just had a lib admit in a recent thread that his voting for Biden was a vote for “genocide” and they justified it because it made them feel safer than Trump’s hypothetical ‘worse genocide’. Then someone else chimed in support by saying that they would ‘happily wash their hands in Palestinian blood’ to protect reproductive rights in the US—which were lost anyway.
Liberals be like: "Revolution is a deranged fantasy for violent weirdos. We have to rely on the system in order to make things better. Even though the system will only ever result in fascist outcomes but it’s okay because this guy is only 98% fascist unlike the 100% fascist competitor.
I definitely remember the whole “We’re gonna burn this down if Trump was elected” momentum quickly turn to “We meant figuratively” and then “That means voting!”
There’s a big reason why I have grown distant from some of my friends and family and it’s basically that I know I can’t trust them anymore
More interested in keeping the peace than anything else
