    fighting fascism effectively would have entailed hanging Trump after J6.

    And how would that happen? After all, the Supreme Court gave him immunity, and all Democrats controlled was the presidency. So you’re saying Joe Biden should’ve told the Supreme Court and every other court to suck it, and used I assume the military to arrest and execute Trump while skipping due process?

    I don’t think that’s fighting fascism. That’s implementing it.

    What needed to happen was for Trump to not win a second time. Had he died at home peacefully we wouldn’t be in the shit right now, and we wouldn’t have even needed to do the fascism ourselves to stop it. People just needed to fucking stop the fascist from winning the election.

      Uhhh antifascists drag him out of whatever hole he tries to hide in and hang him from a lamppost? The Mussolini Special, if you will.

        I mean it’s easy to say these were the good guys and they were killing the bad guys so it was great. But look at it without that context and it’s pretty hard to justify. Sure, if Mussolini would’ve been put on trial the result would’ve been the same. But his mistress?
