A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.

There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. So why is everyone behaving like normal?

If a fascist dictatorship in the US is "inevitable," it's only so because liberals won't actually lift a finger to stop it.
There are plenty of organizations out there working to make sure this doesn't happen. You could sing up for one of them instead of spreading doom and gloom on the internet. The change starts with you.
Such as?
There are literal hundreds. You can google "ways to get involved with elections" and you will get so many your eyes will water. I'm so tired of people acting like this is impossible to do and then complaining about how nothing ever changes. Go phone bank. Go canvass. Go talk to people.
“ways to get involved with elections”
In other words... just more of the same stuff that allowed fascists all this power in the first place.
Do tell... where were you when antifa was actually doing something about fascism in the streets a few years back? Heckling from the sidelines like a good little liberal, perhaps?
And how far did they get? What meaningful legislation came from it? Protests are needed but so are all kinds of other action. Feel free to sit on the sidelines and spread doom and gloom because elections aren’t important, apparently.
What meaningful legislation came from it?
The laws favor the fascists, liberal - they even have a fascist institution to enforce it... the police.
If you think you can vote fascism away I don't think you really realize what fascism even is. How far the fascist element (the fascist element that is so thoroughly entrenched in US society that you and your fellow liberals even consider it "normal") gets depends on how threatened the political elites and their corporate benefactors are by the prospect of working-class revolt - an electoral process means nothing to fascists or the capitalists that fund them.
Vote for whomever you wish. But if voting - or getting others to vote - is the only thing you are willing to do to oppose them, it means you are not prepared to do much at all.
liberals rolling over for fascism is the reason they're winning. the moment enough liberals draw a line in the sand and hold firm is when it stops.
Liberals rolling over for fascism is the only way fascists win. There simply is no other way fascists can win.
