You're not paying attention. They aren't following the old rules anymore. They haven't been for years. They will not be defeated by words on paper.

The only thing I can hope is that after seeing Trump's disaster south of the border people steer away from Poilievre.

However at this point I'm terrified they'll actually embrace it and prove we're no better than they are.

Their goal is to break it. They control all branches of government. Who is there to stop them?

Don't be obtuse.

I'm not willing to let the vulnerable be hurt just to get some schadenfreude on Trump supporters.

That is not a fair trade.

Yeah so why bother at all, right?

Your opponent doesn't have to do anything if you don't even try.

Fascism is something to be alarmed about! It's an existential threat to democracy!

And this is exactly what's wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should've run. They're too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it's like for most Americans, and clearly they don't care because they've never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn't vote.

And democracy never comes back peacefully. Dictators never give up their power. The only way to bring it back is through revolution. Many more lives will be lost just to bring what the voters gave up this week.

Yeah, you were just "asking questions" right?

The US is rapidly moving toward it too.

they believe that the nation is now a white supremacist fascist nation.

Apparently it is.
