The first and only good babylonbee article
So… they are criticizing her for not trying to overthrow democracy? Like trying to pull a coup would have been the only rational, non-hypocritical response here? What a worrying attitude

Yes. What kind of party hands over power to people they know is fascist?
A liberal one, yes. Which is the problem, and why liberalism eventually gives way to fascism when a capitalist state is in decline.
Why is that a worrying attitude?
They’re criticizing her for saying “he’s facist hitler” through the campaign as the sole message, and then when they lose, shrugging and treating it like any other loss. “Oh well, better luck next time!”
Babylon Bee’s point is that the rhetoric doesn’t match the actions. If he was Hitler, then why are you handing him the reigns like this is just any other election? Their implication is that the campaign dramatized his impact and demonized him. They’re right about the criticism but wrong about the reason.
He DOES represent the evils they’ve been espousing, and they are laying down and doing fuck all about it except paving him a clear path. Babylon Bee has managed to accidentally write their most non-partisan headline ever by accident, and a scathing indictment of spineless liberalism.
Why is that a worrying attitude?
Because it seems to be pointed in the direction of a civil war and an end to the US republic
He DOES represent the evils they’ve been espousing, and they are laying down and doing fuck all about it except paving him a clear path.
What do you think should be done instead?
Be as petty as he was and do everything in their power to sabotage what they can and leave him a mess?
If you were alive in 1930s Europe, would you have said the same thing about Hitler and Mussolini?
Time really is a fucking circle.
I often wondered how I would have felt if I was alive in the 1920s to 1940s and seen the rise of this shit. I now am confident that I would never have been a fascist, because I sure as hell fucking hate these people right now.
