I feel like Queen Victoria would be more apt in terms of the scale of carnage wrought

How dare you not support Fascism Lite™, clearly you're racist, sexist, homophobic, you hate freedom, you hate America, and clearly you're a Russian bot. The party demands you blindly vote for it, blindly support it, and never critique it. How else are we supposed to protect Democracy™ from The Bad Guys™?

Biden is to the right of both.

Thatcher saw Israel committing genocide and she imposed a 10 year arms embargo on Israel.

Mussolini's granddaughter, open fascist Italian PM Meloni, just announced Italy will no longer send arms to Israel

Choose your Hitler pleb, oh by the way we fixed all the districts ahead of time to ensure our results anyway.

For all that leftists insist 'liberals always choose fascism,' y'all seem real insistent about not stopping an outright fascist.

It is hilarious that you think that voting for one of two fascists is stopping fascism. It’s sad that you believe Americans are actually participants in their government and not victims of it.

Fascists do not care about democracy or voting. You cannot stop a fascist with an election. Just look to history for examples, Hitler never won an election. Neither did Mussolini. They both seized power in a crisis. Why is this important? Because even if the American election was real and not rigged (of which it is) the fascists will push the country to a crisis and take power anyway.

There is only one way out of this for the Americans and they are refusing to take it seriously or act. It isn’t voting. I hope they can choose non violence and this looks like calling for a constitutional convention to start, the actual structure of their government is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed with its own processes by design. The Frozen Republic by Daniel Lazare How the Constitution is Paralyzing Democracy.

The Americans will not choose this though, they are a damaged and deeply violent society who prefer death over life and will make the wrong choice and the entire world will suffer.
