Fascism (in its traditional definition) takes hold in a nation after a majority become so disenchanted with government-as-usual they actually are convinced anything would be better than the status quo and are willing to risk it. All you need is a narcissist willing to take advantage of the situation, and we have that in spades.
It was bad enough when both traditional parties became so useless as to not even do the people's day-to-day business let alone deliver on a promise or two. That let the bastard in the first time as an unknown entity compared to the known. Hillary? Really?
The same evil bastard will be elected in November even though he is now a known entity. All he has to do is obfuscate any legal actions long enough so he can pardon himself. That's his game.
If Biden had done a good job, if he had delivered on his platform he ran on, that of reconciliation, calm, righting the ship, we wouldn't be afraid Trump would be returned. Instead, Biden played devision like a master, and the people are still deeply deeply dis-satisfied. I am, and I am certainly not lazy.
No-one risks a Hitler, a Mussolini, a Trump unless they are made so hopeless by the opposition they are willing to risk it.
No matter the result, I dread it. I can't support either and loathing one does not mean I automatically will approve the other, whether by my opinion or my vote. That doesn't make me lazy. It makes me above this shit.
