The fascist dictator in waiting is literally leading the in the popular vote. Even if that changes in the coming weeks, it's gonna be a very large minority...
70 million people isn't a majority of 340 million people. And not all of the 70 million people are fascists.
If you didn't vote against the fascist then i have bad news for you...
I voted for Kamala. Fascists don't care who you voted for. They only care about skull measurements and skin color. They will happily deport or kill all the minorities who foolishly or knowingly voted them into power.
You're conflating assholes here.
Fascists absolutely care who you voted for. They put party (and then country) above everything else. The word you were looking for is racists. They care about skull sizes and skin color.
These groups are not mutually inclusive, but there is a whole lot of overlap.
The fascists will kill you for voting for their opposition sure. They were going to kill their political and ideological opponents regardless. They know they need to remove socialists and progressives so the country they takeover has no alternative to them. They aren't going to spare a member of an out group because that person voted for them.
Nationalism is just a mechanism to justify racism to the fascist. Not all racists are fascists, but all fascists are racists.
"You" as-in "a voter/someone".
Not you as-in you specifically, obviously.
It doesn't matter. We're in this situation now. It's time to stop using moral reasoning to solve problems. Analyze strategies based on how useful they are to advance a goal. Lashing out at everyone isn't useful. Organizing with them is.
