You had a choice between the fascist and a kind of crap government and you chose the fascist.

You could have had shit democracy like you always have and instead you went for judge dredd anarchy. Some serious mental gymnastics are required to say that those two things are the same.

That crap government is always going to lead to a fascist at some point. Here we are at that point.

Simply not true.

No it doesn't. It just leads to a few years of ineffective nonsense and then eventually somebody else takes over, they don't automatically have to be fascists though, why would that be the case?

The UK had a crap ineffective government for 16 years but they've been replaced now and they're not fascist.

It wasn't about appealing to us, it was about appealing to the common American voter. Democrats failed to do either.

The fuck does that mean? You are seriously trying to excuse neo-nazis in fancy suits.

The United States of America is as much of an enemy of the Human condition as Iraq, you get off on hurting people you get off on making everyone's lives miserable because it makes you feel better. By definition that must be the majority view

I don't know if you realize this but most Americans do not live in the lands that american weapons destroy and do not know the first thing about what goes on in those places, other than what their media tells them.
