Keep focusing on denial and keep sleepwalking into fascism.
I agree that we are always at risk... regardless of "who's president," of sleepwalking into fascism.
The steps to get us there are always "honorable and necessary" regardless of which player sits in the captain's chair.
And even when we see it, we reject it as fascism because it was "our team." But it's fascism nevertheless.
If you have to cheat to win... and you do... you've lost the moral high ground regardless of 'appearances.'
Cheating creates 'secrets'... secrets create 'lies'... and lies create perpetual hiding and fear...
Real healthy.
When we cheat, we are admitting that we don't believe we can win.
When it's all about the win... we invent platitudes like "The ends justify the means" so we feel better about cheating...
It's all a sad play... repeated over and over.
I am relieved at least one other person on this site sees the reality. When they say they will be a dictator even for one day, believe them.
