Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What civic process has immediately stopped fascism within that timeframe in the past? Violence is necessary to snuff out fascism. However, that does not imply that you cannot continue engaging in the civic process while expunging fascism. In fact, it’s necessary.
I’m sorry you can’t walk and chew gum at the same time but some of us are a bit more capable, it seems.
There wasn't a civic process that defeated Hitler. There was a World War. The German people didn't defeat Hitler. Defeating Hitler required outside intervention on a massive scale, the kind of intervention that the average person is literally incapable of alone or with a small group.
If fascism is removed from America, it will probably be accomplished by the US military or by outside intervention. Probably won't be citizens.
You seem to be incapable of understanding that the answer is both. Be an engaged citizen such that fascism has difficulty taking root and if or when it does then do not, for a moment, hesitate in expunging it with both direct and indirect violence. Or, more simply, vote you fucking idiot but when you need to kill nazis you gotta do the dirty work.
This is the walk and chew gum analogy you had trouble interpreting.
"Be an engaged citizen so that fascism has difficulty taking root." So, go back in time to the Mayflower? Or just go back in time to the 1980s, where our modern version of fascism began formalizing? This has been going on for many decades, how far back do you need to go?
"Vote you fucking idiot" our votes for President do not matter and can be overruled by the Electoral College. Trump didn't win the popular vote in 2016 if I remember correctly. Addtionally, votes are counted using rigged voting machines.
Holy shit dude. I can tell this isn’t going to go anywhere.
I have neither the time nor the want to give any more shits about your ineffectual politics.
Bro, some advice: Stop discussing your revolutionary activities online. All this shit is public and we are not in a Hollywood movie. This is real life.
