Unfortunately this is exactly what Gödel's Loophole describes. This election only slows the descent to fascism UNLESS the newly elected officials undo the constitutional mismanagement and restore checks and balances as well as re-separating religion and government, but that will likely not happen, as the democrats are a status quo party, not a progressive party.

You can have fascist politicians in a democratic state that's like the whole point of fascist politics

Religious Nationalists (mostly Christian m nationalists) of all political backgrounds (but mostly politicians who sell their beliefs to super pacs to stay in power) and those who are profiting immensely from the wrongdoings of the status quo (see executive branch and insider trading in congress) will do everything in their power to preserve our nation’s current path towards fascism.

Am I gonna have to be the one to tell you that Hitler was democratically elected 😭 as were most fascist dictators And they tend to continue holding elections. If people are stupid enough to continue voting for the fascists, then yeah they eventually take full control after everything is tied up behind the scenes (by the time they take 'full control' it's already WAY too late)

Did you also know that Germans believed concentration/death camps were just 'detention centers' (like ICE camps) until the actual centers were gone through after the war? Did you know that ppl believed ppl were fear mongering about Hitler and making stuff up until all the Jews were already gone pm? I encourage you to do some actual historical research on fascism/authoritarianism, and HOW fascist regimes have become cemented in the past

A. Hitler was never democratically elected. B. Germany did not have a fair system of checks and balances to balance out federal power. C. Hitler actively restricted free speech and used state sponsored propaganda. I genuinely can’t believe people so uneducated are still voting so confidently in elections.

Yes, but we have video footage and proof from independent journalists they’re not concentration camps. It’s completely different. Drawing a parallel is ridiculous.

As I described before, he used a version of Gödel’s Loophole that existed in the Weimar System to dismantle it, as well as making it so anything illegal he did was ignored or even praised.

Yet they refuse to let journalists into these camps unless they have days of “preparation” before. Sounds sus.

Hitler was not democratically elected. You can look it up. He was appointed to a position and basically used intimidation tactics and arrested political opponents to get the votes to turn that position into the dictator of germany. Also if you remember the only people in america who are trying to arrest political opponents are democrats. The usa constitution has checks and balances for all branches of government. Trump does not limit speech.

He ran in a system where you could win with ~30% of the votes. So yes, he was democratically elected, even if he only got About 30-35% of votes
