The Republican party brought us here. Hillary accelerated things with her awful campaign strategy of elevating Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, but we were heading in this direction since Regan.

The argument that we should vote for democracy and against fascism isn’t what got us here, in fact it is the only reliable way to get us out of this.
