What the actual fuck. How much farther does this fascist piece of shit have to go before people realize we will not vote our way out of this mess and the only chance we have to stop this madness is to put our lives on the line and fight for what is right. Not just posting about it, or going to marches supported by the controlled opposition party funded by the same billionaires who fund and support this demagogue. Polite non violent demonstrations do not threaten the power structure while they continue to violently suppress any meaningful change. We are at least 5 phases into the same journey of fascism Germany underwent almost a century ago. And everyone is too fucking worried about mowing their lawns, working for garbage wages at jobs they mostly hate and watching their favorite TV shows to face the reality of what is actually happening.

    Eroding any kind of support your opponent has FIRST is the necessary path.

    That’s an impossible condition. Even the worst, least competent governments out there have some popular support, and the whole point of fascism is that it uses populist rhetoric to appeal to uninformed people in economic and social uncertainty. You might get a majority of the populace on your side, but support for fascism will never go below 30% or so. Also the majority of America is already opposed to fascism; their opposition is just too milquetoast to actually amount to anything. Turning that knob is the clearest and most reliable path to victory, certainly more reliable that convincing fascists that fascism is bad, actually. Also, people don’t rally behind a cause that doesn’t exist; you need to actually do things before you can expect people to join you. They don’t need to be drastic things, but convincing people that action is possible and productive is the first step to getting anything done.
