It’s not pessism to admit Trump is a wannabe dictator.
It’s pessimism to sit there complaining about it without imagining paths and working towards a better alternative.
I’m not one of these “anti-electoralism” people. I vote, and I think voting maters. But a lot more matters than just voting.
You can’t just say “oh well we did our best” after you lose the electionand let facism happen. You gotta fight, you gotta advocate, you gotta defend those who need it.
He’s not a “wannabe dictator.” He made it very clear what he is going to be and he controls all three branches of government. On top of that, they’ve given him permission to do anything as an “official presidential act” (i.e. declare himself dictator) and it would be up to congress, who are on his side, to say he can’t.
Fighting fascism doesn’t mean living in a pipe dream world where It Can’t Happen Here.
You’re arguing against someone who isn’t me.
Whatever Trump is is irrelevant to my point. My point is its pessimistic and problematic to surrender to facism happening without putting up a fight.
I’m basically saying: We gotta use all means necessary to fight facism.
And to me it seems you end up replying: But Trump is a dictator.
When did I say anything about surrendering or not fighting?
People sure like putting words in my mouth.
