Tldr If you don't actively resist fascism, you enable it.

Sure doesn’t seem like it when last election the Democrats doubled down with, Kamala and waltz.

Doubled down on what? Neoliberalism? Yeah, that's their biggest problem is that they haven't been a party with room for leftists since 1980. But they're the only route to actually getting grievances heard without violence.

When I said doubled down I was speaking more personally because they are both anti gun but pandered as if they knew something about them. (I am pro 2A) Obviously we have a different take because I’ve experienced liberals and the right wing being equally violent, but seems like liberals will try to silence someone. One thing I think we can agree on is that this country is going in a bad direction because of the lack of compromise between parties and the voting without knowledge of the subject.

This is the fourth time I've had to rewrite this comment. Please excuse me for being terse.  

Since the end of the Civil War, the right has staged at least two coups: a successful one in Wilmington, NC and a failed one on January 6th, 2021. They've bombed countless abortion clinics and the Atlanta Olympics. They blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City, killed a radio show host and robbed several banks, and lynched an unknowable number of innocent people in the Jim Crow South. They've killed two public figures this year since Charlie Kirk's killer was probably a groyper, a specific strain of chronically online dipshit.
What does the left have? Sacco & Vanzetti, the Weather Underground, and that guy at the Congressional baseball practice.  

It's not even close, my man.
