    Fascism depends on the erosion of norms. Stooping to their level does nothing but empower them in the long run. If anything, it accelerates the process.

      Glad to know I’m getting downvoted because I don’t support becoming the very thing we’re supposedly fighting against.

      “Don’t fight back, just lay back and take it!”

        Like, why even comment? You know that’s not what I’m saying. I pointed out a simple truth that is observed when fascists rise to power, that should be considered when people are saying shit like "drone strike SCOTUS. And instead of engaging with someone who’s most likely your ally, you misrepresent what they say to try for a snarky comment. Do better.
