    I’m really sorry, but I’m not sure what your point is. Aren’t the dems the ones culpable for the rise of fascism in this country, which was the whole point of this in the first place?

    At least in part. The fascists are naturally responsible for their own actions, but that doesn’t excuse negligence or complicity on democrats’ part.

    Emulating them seems like a good way to become a fascist enabler.

    You just don’t want anyone to your left to be upset at anything Democrats do. Republicans can be upset all they want. It gives Democrats their marching orders.

      I’m confused, the only thing I’ve said about the dems is that they’re less bad than the actual fash but still in large part to blame for this current situation. Not exactly “lefties shouldn’t be mad at the democrats”. It’d be pretty absurd to argue that, even (see: gaza, enabling fascism with their complacency, etc). Imitating their behavior would, you know, be emulating the things that lead to the current situation vis a vis fascism.
