>Editorial Note: I am a lifelong conservative Republican, ordained minister for 20+ years, voted for Trump twice. I'm not a Democrat or Liberal—I'm an American who remembers when we fought fascism. If I can see what he's doing, why can't you?
If you saw Trump's first term, saw the January 6 attack, saw the Project 2025 manifesto, and voted for him again, don't come looking for sympathy about fascism. The signs were all there and you voted for him a second time. This is on you, author of the article.
.....god, it keeps going. All of these signs were known well before you voted for him a second time.

I’m a life long liberal but Republicans won the House, Senate, and Supreme Court. Checks and balances exist they’re just wildly favoring conservatives. The DNC overplayed their hand by turning on Sanders, they’re continuing their pay for it. We’re suffering for the mistakes of 2010 Democrats. Liberals across the board have to accept that to better plan for the next election.

I guess, for the same reason the author was blind this whole time before the revelation?
If the choices are fascism and communism I (and it looks like most other people) will always choose fascism.
Libertarianism was supposed to be a compromise but people were still allowed to be "fascist biggots" in their homes and the left couldn't handle that. That's why we're doing this now.

Doesn't it always?
