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.
I didn’t say you did. But it’s been a confusing conversation because it feels like I make a point in every message, and then you disagree with a minor detail of my point, instead of having a conversation about the big picture.
To me it feels like we aren’t talking to each other really.
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.
Which confuses me because not very relevant to my point.
It’s because you equivocate and dance around without saying what you mean.
Just say you think violence isn’t justified and won’t get the results you want. People will disagree but at least your stance will be clear.
