    This is the same fatalism over and over. You don’t even recognize the tense of saying, “could.”

    “Preventing this doesn’t prevent this” is what you are saying. You start from the assumption every democracy has failed, and then assert, there is no possible way a not-yet-failed democracy could protect itself. Like nothing was ever real except for this very moment.

      No bud, I’m saying it works until it doesnt, and you’re counting on voters to do the work of rooting out fascism when their representatives aren’t doing anything to fix the problems that caused it.

      It’s not fatalism, it’s holding accountable those with actual power to do something, because otherwise it isnt going to be enough to just vote.
