I agree. But how people feel seems to fuel a lot of politics, and greedy journalists (and their minions, vloggers) are pouring gasoline on the fire imo.
At day’s end, only what a court decides matters, but that doesn’t get the clicks.
Fascists don't use logic in their speech or actions. There is no point in engaging a discussion of ideas with them. Fascists speak in terms of ideology that has a peculiar form of circular logic. Self reinforcing and independent of reality. Fascists cling to logical fallacies. Axioms that are taken as true and used to justify their stupid actions. Replacement theory. Liberals are communists. America needs a "strong leader" ("Only I can fix this"). The educated elite weaken the spirit of the American People. MAGA
There is no reasoning with them. I'm hopeful that the next few years of civil and criminal trials of Trump and his gang -- that will certainly result in incarceration and bankruptcies -- will take the sting out of their movement. Eventually their political power will wane as their demographic power wanes. In order do to that, we need to suppress their movement, now and for the rest of this decade.
Fascism in Europe wasn't defeated by war alone. It was defeated by investing in people and establishing a politically active majority. Social democracy in Europe defeated fascism. It's time to do the same here. Bidenomics, for example.
