> American people literally voted
This is so commonly repeated now it’s an effective means of damping down any notion that Americans can actively dissent and blunt the excesses of this administration.
I get that Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do, but he also simultaneously said he wasn’t going to do the same things. The margin of victory was narrow enough that what comes next is a test of Americans’ ability to resist and defend.
It’s not about “what Americans voted for”. It’s about which Americans made it through the gates, and who last moved those gates.
- krapp 2y agoAlso, if Americans voted for Trump to do a fascism, because Trump said he would do a fascism, and then Trump did a fascism... it's still legitimate to oppose fascism. "This is what (about half of the people who bothered to vote) voted for" doesn't mean everyone else just has to go home and sit on their hands.
