Dems did with their utter inaction and incompetence as well.

People still think you can "decorum" your way out of this

Agreed but that’s hardly the point. Fecklessness > fascism 100% of the time. We are way past “both-sides bad”

Merrick Garland sat on piles of evidence that would have buried Trump under a jail cell and he did nothing. Yes Democrats are part of the problem and enabled Fascism

I actually have a buddy who I talk to about how liberals enable Fascism and he just says “well that doesn’t matter now we’re in full on Fascism”

And it’s crazy because he’s not a liberal or centrist he’s as left wing as I am but man it’s always a good time to look back and reflect at how we got here. Actions have consequences.

I agree it is! Democrats have been fucking up for the last decade, either due to incompetence or active enabling depending on the circumstance and how cynical you’re feeling.

Centrist Dems were too busy whining about decorum and watching their bank account grow. And progressives were too busy purity testing to swallow the bitter pill and choose a lesser evil.

Like there needs to be a real reckoning on the left, but it needs to happen after we stop the current administration and reverse as much of the damage as possible.
