As non-american I agree you guys should definitely vote Harris, despite Dems being terrible Trump would absolutely be worse on each topic Dems are bad. That being said, rethoric of this post is straight up facist. Using threats of personal consequences for "wrongly" exercising ones right to vote is wild.
it's not fascist. if it was an official comment from Harris , THEN it would be fascist.
like this: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-floats-imprisoning-political-opponents-rcna155543
this is a person whose intent is solely interested in pointing out that society is watching what all the fascist supporting shit-stains do.
just like this: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ohio-sheriff-suggests-residents-keep-list-harris-yard-sign-addresses-rcna171385
BTW, since he's an elected official that makes him a fascist too.
citizens cannot be a fascist unless they're in a position of political power, but they can be the little shit-heels the fascists employ. just like the Jewish Ghetto Police in WWII.
remember, movements can be fascist. electable officials can be fascist. but regular people are just shitheads.
Did you just make that up on the spot and kind of just said fuck it I'll roll with it as the absolute unequivocal truth why not
I'll be quoting from the Merriam Webster dictionary.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism#did-you-know
fascist is based on the Italian word, "fascio", which means ,"to bundle".
ever bundled one thing?
second, it was made popular in the modern lexicon by Mussolini. it was used to describe a political movement.
however, its origin goes back even further.
that last sentence is important. members of that group could be called "fascist" because they were acting under the political coalition.
so tell me, what political coalition is OP acting under?
actually now that I'm thinking about it, it's conceivable that someone acting under Trumps MAGA could be identified as fascist because of the "MAGA" coalition of people. it's a political coalition, united people obedient to the "state", hmmmm.
what's the name of Harris' equivalent to MAGA? I can't remember, can you help me out here?
Exactly so absolutely in no way are those people all not fascists, which is what you said and people react to
