      It doesn’t matter. You can’t cherry-pick. A majority of Germans also didn’t vote for Hitler, yet it was called “Nazi Germany” after the election and nobody denies it on the basis that he didn’t get the absolute majority of the votes.

      America voted for fascism. I don’t care if only a third of Americans are actively fascist, another third stayed home like the fat lazy slobs they are, and the remaining third lost to the first one: the net result is a fascist America.

        Still, we don’t condemn the German victims of Nazis for fascism. We don’t condemn the French resistance for Vichy France. There’s a real resistance movement in America. Support it.

          I’m not condemning anything or anybody. There are plenty of good Americans in Trump’s Nazi America like there were plenty of good Germans in Hitler’s Nazi Germany. But good minorities in fascist countries don’t make those countries any less fascist.

      That means 36% of eligible voters passively support fascism.

      “How could people let the nazis take over Germany?” Gee, I wonder.

        “I will NEVER co-sign a genocide,” they said, and got really condescending about how pure they were being, by refusing to vote to keep Trump out of power.
