    Voting never works, it never did.

    Stalin. Gulag. Red terror

      Incorrect. Voting has worked in several cases in the 20th century alone. The problem is, that voting has to be followed by imprisonment of the fascists and all of their supporters, and it seems like nobody is willing to do that.

      (In fairness to Brazil, they at least got this half right)

      Voting by itself won’t stop fascists. But Brazil did MORE than just vote. They voted and also arrested the top fascists. We (in the states) could learn a lesson from Brazilians on that.

      Unfortunately, allowing any fascists to live is like allowing any cancer to live. Fascists must be completely deleted or they will always come back to do fascism. Always.
