I'm not big on the "Trump is a fascist" rhetoric, cause that's a word I'm not even sure I understand, and him winning this election so decisively is not America choosing fascism or authoritarianism. The vast majority of people voted for him either without knowledge of, or in spite of, his authoritarian tendencies. Basically nobody, not even Goom, voted for Trump because he wants to pardon the people who beat up cops on January 6th. Almost nobody voted for him because he fantasized on stage about Liz Cheney being shot in the face. Nobody voted for him because of his numerous crimes. The vast majority of these 70+ million people never even heard about these things, or their knowledge and interest is so shallow that other issues simply overwhelmed them.
So, this is bad, I don't want to pretend it's not. But Trump winning is simply not an affirmation of all of his badness. Americans don't want Trump's enemies to be shot. They don't want America to not be a democracy.
It sounds to me like you're trying to claim that all the lefty BS attacks on Trump... were valid.
Trump is no angel, that's for sure.
But I think EVERYone knows (or has at least, finally realized), which side was trying to destroy democracy, and turn this country into a 3rd world cesspit.
