As we watch #fakepresident self destruct let's not forget

As we watch #fakepresident self destruct let's not forget that fascism is subversive. The Third Reich lasted a grand total of 12 years. It was supposed to be a thousand year Reich but it ended in the total destruction of the "Aryan race." This is what fascism is.

Why didn't Hitler finish off the Russians and recover before invading France? We could do a lot of what ifs. Likewise if #fakepresident hasn't done anything wrong why all the lies and coverups? Just come out with it, even if he has done something wrong. Own it. But no, #fakepresident has to be subversive. Why? He has always been subversive. He is a fascist. This is his core. This is who he is.

It is important to understand this because it is the key to the resistance. You cannot negotiate with fascists. You can only appease them.

The radical right has brought on their own destruction. Let's also not forget the horseshoe theory.
