    Once again:

    • Fascists promise to do fascist things
    • Americans vote for fascists
    • Elected fascists do fascist things
    • How could Democrats do this???

      You missed a couple of steps, no biggie:

      • Fascists promise to do fascist things
      • Americans vote for fascists
      • Elected fascists do fascist things
      • Fascists go unpunished because of the Democrats
      • Elected fascists do fascist things
      • How could Democrats do this???

        Where do you think the fascists get the political capital to be able to do whatever they want with impunity? The fucking voters.

          Yes, but how do (a good proportion of) voters decide who they support? They look at what the two parties do. And this is what the Democrats did: not even close to enough.

            And they only know what the Democrats did through the media, and the media overwhelmingly supported the fascists (and is largely owned by fascist oligarchs).

            They look at what the two parties do.

            And they picked the fascists.

          The fact that you liberals, after all this time, after all the tools leftists have armed you with to debunk US State Dept lies, after all the wealth of historical records available to you, still don’t understand the consequences of your own actions, still don’t understand that you are the fascists, desperately trying to scrabble to explain how this could be happening,

          And still being wrong,

          Is genuinely the funniest thing I’ve ever fucking seen in my life.

          America deserves Trump.
