    A real democracy wouldn’t allow a fascist to even run for office. Advocating for fascism and authoritarianism in a republic isn’t a valid political stance. It’s sedition.

      Well, if over 50% of votes agree, is it sedition? The American people wanted the treasonous, corrupt, criminal, draft dodger sexual predator as president. We might not like it, but it’s what the majority wanted.

        *Plurality and it’s still sedition on the part of the leaders. If you advocate for authoritarianism in a republic then you are inherently advocating for overthrowing the republic. You are advocating for some people to have rights, while others don’t.

        It doesn’t matter if a majority of voters want that, they don’t have the right to strip the minority of their right to representation.

        All authoritarian ideologies are inherently incompatible with the concept of natural rights

          Those who don’t vote make an explicit choice, so it is a majority.

          And the fascist, dictatorial intentions were known from the beginning so kind of hard to argue with the result.

          People voted to convert the republic to an empire.
