    You can vote for a fascist, vote for a bipartisan incumbent

    If you’re being bipartisan with fascism…

    the fascist is under a ton of stress from numerous ongoing civil and criminal lawsuits and presidency is pretty much their last stand

    The problem with this theory is that Trump’s not a unique or singular point. If he drops dead of a heart attack tomorrow, Americans won’t magically wake up from a fascist slumber. They’ll just go hunting for the next banner waver. That guy isn’t going to have all the legal baggage or the decades of antipathy built up against him that Trump’s got.

    The next American Fascist leader is going to be smoother and more polished than this bumbling horny coke head. He’s going to bill himself as Bipartisan, too. And I suspect quite a few liberals are going to gobble him up in no small part because democrats like Biden gave them nothing worth supporting.
