    Sorry but what do you call donating money to fascists, buying their ads, supporting their PACs, and voting for their platform if not legitimizing fascism?

        I guess in your mind there is no reason why multiple concrete actions taken to slide us into fascism and support right wing extremism should be considered nuance.

          “actions taken to slide us into fascism” is nonsense.

          You can describe in detail one of those actions, and that’d possibly be valid - depending on the action you’re describing.

          “supporting right wing extremism” is deliberately miscontextualized. Presuming you’re talking about the ‘pied piper’ strategy. If “supporting right wing extremism” is referring to something else, then it’s just miscontextualized.

            It is an accurate assessment of the result of the pied Piper strategy. The context in this case is a distinction without a difference. Feel free to claim good intentions all you’d like on their behalf. It is a waste of breath considering the results.

            Whether the dems manslaughtered their way into it vs Republican murder, the veneer of legitimacy the government had was killed off. Whatever strategic excuse is drummed up, the DNC funded the campaigns of right wing extremists and are clearly culpable for their wins alongside the Republican conservative base. I blame the DNC with my whole chest for their hand in creating the conditions that enabled a fascist populat movement while stifling the left.
