### The very facy the Dems won in an election is a demonstration that they weren't battling fascists yet. Trump and crew literally attempted to overturn the election and the Dems did next to nothing. If we can't recognize fascist actors _before_ they've fully seized control of government then we will never have effective resistance to these types of movements.

Fascist should not be treated the same as a normal political opponent. You NEED to purge them from your government as soon as possible. You can spot proto-fascists, it is possible. Why in gods green earth would you wait until they have established power to challenge them, that's stupid as hell. I'm sorry if it disturbs your liberal sensibilities but fascists deserve to be oppressed. They won't hesitate to oppress you when they get power

Just because a fascist hasn't been completely successful left that doesn't mean they're not a fascist. Trump literally staged an insurrection. The fuck bullshit is this.

They weren't the losing side, they were the side that committed crimes. Punishing criminals for their crimes isn't a step too far. The mere fact that wealthy powerful people are not punished for their crimes is the fucking problem. That's not a feature of democracy. That's a failure of democracy.

>That is the trumpiest and scariest line of thinking possible. Elections are not meant to punish the losing side. The department of justice is supposed to enforce the laws of this country. And yes, you fucking coward, that includes arresting, trying and convicting an insurrectionist leader who tried to take over our country. Now go ahead, explain how that’s “political” and why we can’t have justice.

They committed treason and tried to overturn a free and fair election. They should have been given a kangaroo court show trial and publicly hanged on the national mall for their crimes.
