Rebuking Trumpism is shoring up democracy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Didn't we rebuke Trumpism last election? I'm asking why the fuck is Trumpism alternating as the most popular political position for the American electorate.

Before they slunk away but now fascists can connect with each other online. Instead of it being a few people that happen to meet up and connect now they can seek each other out.
