Radical Robson and One Note Oneironaut are here to school us on how to be good little fascists. Ain't happening, lamebrains. You can keep trying to crack your whip, dismantling every building block of American ideals you find, but we who oppose this authoritarian makeover are many, and we are not going anywhere. Eventually there will be a reckoning for your blind allegiance to the madman.

The people who voted for Trump are unable or unwilling to acknowledge they made a bad decision, so they suppress whatever possible misgivings they might have about certain aspects of his aberrant speech and behavior in favor of some supposedly "big-picture" view of him. Sure, he's an authoritarian, but at least "he's in favor of strong borders," they'll say, or "He's really giving it to the libs!"

The result is a normalization of tyranny in exchange for the simple-minded comfort of a combative, ----------------------- mindset they seek in an increasingly complex and accommodating world.
