RE-elected*
they elected him twice! It's not like they didn't know what was coming, they were okay with it
Exactly. They were cool with it, even more so they wanted this.
Most qualified voters couldn't be bothered to vote. Apathy is why we're here. Some of that apathy has been purposefully engineered by right wing media since the mid 1970s.
You don't get to use that excuse when you re-elected him.
Perhaps the opposition could have done more, results argue that they couldn't.
Besides, Trump is only the latest of a long trend of GOP candidates and policies all in line with the exact current policy. The opposition may have fought valiantly, and lost ground. From the outside, that looks exactly like a national shift towards the GOP/conservative/christo-fascist.
Wasn't an excuse. And it was not a national shift towards fascism. It was the ever-present undercurrent of fascism finally edging out those who would oppose it.
My whole point is that those two are indistinguishable from the outside.
(Although conservatism in general rather than the radicalised form that is fascism)
The only realization I've had as an adult is that conservatism has always been fascism in sheep's clothing.
