    If Trump is a fascist, why aren’t Democrats doing everything in their power to stop him? Why aren’t they stuffing the court? Why aren’t they going after his states?

        If you think about it, Hitler probably prevented someone even more evil than him from taking power, so everyone who voted for him was actually doing us a favor.

          I’ve seen people unironically say Hitler was the worse choice for Germany because he was a bad wartime leader and that’s the only reason
