In Germany Hitler only got around a third of the vote. Trump is winning the popular vote.
Mussolini won in a landslide, and had the popular vote.
It would still be nearly as bad if it was one of the Republican EC-only victories, but to see him so far ahead in the popular vote is really saddening.
But not everyone votes. 340 million people live in the US. 70 million, and counting, voted for Trump. So not a majority of the country by any stretch of the imagination.
Anybody who is eligible to vote but doesn't is culpable.
The fascists are the ones to want to kill everyone. So those are the people who we must organize against and defend ourselves from. Lashing out at nonvoters isn't useful.
Oi you poor soul. No. No they're not.
