The Republican party brought us here. Hillary accelerated things with her awful campaign strategy of elevating Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, but we were heading in this direction since Regan. Neoliberals got us to the brink of fascism, but apathy will get us the rest of the way. The argument that we should vote for democracy and against fascism isn’t what got us here, in fact it is the only reliable way to get us out of this.
This kind of “argument” brought us down to the current disaster.
