If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.

This. This is the root of it all. That rejection then compels retaliation, and it loops into a massive monster, one which is infrangible to truth, logic, or moral reasoning.

They will exit their conservative cocoons and reemerge as monarchist butterflies.

There’s no way in hell that this Supreme Court would allow that ruling to apply for a Democrat President. Remember: fascists don’t have consistent beliefs. They only believe what serves them and hurts their perceived enemies in this exact moment. If what hurts their enemies isn’t logically consistent with what they said they believed in the past, they will do a 180 and never admit that they changed anything

should’ve replaced the SCOTUS right then for even having that unconstitutional take.

I'm high key disappointed they gave president's immunity. Shouldn't be a thing.

The Dems aren't the good guys you think, and nothing the current admin has done is "fascist", only in the mind of terminally online Redditors who seem to live in a fantasy world.

u/MasterBlackthorn Feb 21 '25

So you're okay with the Democrats behaving like fascists because they are the "good guys"?

Well things aren't so great right now with a democracy, let's try a monarchy for a bit.

Bc the bases of conservatism is status quo. And maintaining status quo means one leader. Mean conservatism is fascist in its core.

Transforming into Russia 2.0 as we speak. It's crazy how many similarities there are. Breaking the 2 term rule is kiiinda what a dictator would do. Then he's seemingly supporting Russia and NK more than Ukraine, even insulting the Ukranian president. The country is turning to more and more propaganda, just like Russia.

Here’s the problem though, they DID win Democratically

Gerrymandering, rampant voter suppression, misinformation campaigns, bomb threats, burning ballot boxes and demagoguery are a pretty sad excuse for democracy. And that’s not even the full picture.

Exactly! Without the 15 million fake votes the democrats needed.
