Like how biden winning in 2020 averted fascism?

Yes, if you will remember, we were not under a fascist regime in 2020-2024. I understand that's a hard thing for bougie middle-class kids to understand, but some of us actually have to deal with the government in our day-to-day lives.

Also, don’t make things up about me, I did not insist any such thing.

This comment chain where you cheerfully opine that an intensified Palestinian genocide doesn't matter because it's all the same destination anyway you?

Interesting how both republicans and democrats call each other fascists. Seems like everyone hates fascism!

But of course you must be right, america surely paused all of their fascist activity from 2020 to 2024. Biden is so stronk what would we do without him holding back the fascist flood?

Prepare yourself for a shock- the Nazis called themselves socialists and the North Koreans call their country a democratic republic.

Sometimes some people use words properly and sometimes other groups of people use those words improperly for propaganda reasons.

But I'm sure that can't possibly be the case here. It's not like you can legitimately call an incoming administration literally working out the details in putting up concentration camps right now fascist. Not one where the incumbent president is literally promising to be a dictator.

I just don't see the fascism connection there, do you?

Or maybe things aren't black and white like that, and labelling things as fascist isnt very useful right now.

Both parties do horribly awful stuff to both american citizens and people from around the world.

Also trump didnt takeover, he won an election. Trump represents america whether you like it or not. Its funny how people outside america aren't nearly as surprised he won.

Hitler won his election too. And twice as well. I'm not sure why that makes it okay or Trump not a fascist.

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 weeks ago

No he didnt, he lost and was later appointed chancellor by the winner.

Please explain how 1933 comes before 1932.

Never mind figured it out. Good job, or whatever.

He was not elected to president or chancellor however. Feel free to read the above post as you, as always, throw nuance to the wayside for brevity.

That’s because it’s not an elected position. What are you going to reveal to me next, that the UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer wasn’t elected prime minister?

Germany didn’t work like that and still doesn’t.

Not every country is the U.S., believe it or not.

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Then how is that relevant to bring up when talking about an elected position like the US president? Who appointed trump president again? Is it the american people?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

You:

Also trump didnt takeover, he won an election. Trump represents america whether you like it or not. Its funny how people outside america aren’t nearly as surprised he won.

Me:

Hitler won his election too. And twice as well. I’m not sure why that makes it okay or Trump not a fascist.

Then you got into a whole bullshit thing where you pretended that wasn’t true.

You might try some memory exercises or something, but you’re welcome for the refresher.

Cool, and you never try to understand anyone else's point. Have you considered working as a lawyer?

...labelling things as fascist isnt very useful right now

What do you think "fascism" is? Like, this line of argument worked ten years ago because people didn't know what the fuck they were looking at, but now? NOW?!

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago

Not everyone jumps to conclusions as quickly as you, its not a race do see who can declare something fascist as prematurely as possible.

Maybe if y'all could connect the dots better more democrats would have voted.

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Dude, it's been 25 years of fascist creep in the US government. How much longer do you want to wait before "Jump[ing] to conclusions"?

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago

Jumping to conclusions is about claiming things are or will happen without reason. You could be right and jump to a conclusion at the same time.

I will say this election didnt change who America is as a country though.

But of course you must be right, america surely paused all of their fascist activity from 2020 to 2024. Biden is so stronk what would we do without him holding back the fascist flood?

"Not electing a fascist stops fascism from being elected" may be a shocking revelation to you, but I assure you, most people understand this. It could have been a potato that was elected, so long as it wasn't a fascist potato.
