When a liberal says “Project 2025 will become reality if Trump wins”, what they mean is “Liberals are incapable of putting up meaningful resistance to conservative politics”.

If the other guy winning is enough to make every far-right policy proposal a reality, then what does that say about your side, hm? Because either the Democrats have the capacity to fight the Republicans in Congress and in the courts, or they don’t. If they don’t, we shouldn’t be acting like they’re our only hope to stop the Republicans and we should be looking to other alternatives. If they do, then Biden losing the election isn’t enough for them to achieve every single pie in the sky policy goal they have set for themselves.

Biden’s low poll numbers are the fault of him and his campaign. The refusal of the Democrats to even entertain the idea of nominating someone else shows exactly where their priorities lie. They are perfectly comfortable with Trump winning so long as it means they don’t have to capitulate to the demands of their base.

I try not to comment on US politics because I don’t go here and god knows it gets enough attention, but fully agree with this. Fascists, by definition, don’t care about democracy. If one of the two parties in your two-party system is able to implement fascism as a result of winning one election, then your democracy has much deeper-rooted problems. Screaming at people to vote because it’s The Most Important Election Of Their Lifetime isn’t going to work indefinitely.
