Yep. Fascists and the far right in general are always pushing their policies and ideas in any way they can, wether in office or not, they are fighting like its the last week of voting 24/7 365.
Liberals think that just voting every couple years and shaming anyone who doesn’t vote will stop that, but then they all go to brunch if they win and people realize they Aren’t helping at all (and in many ways hurting the cause) so they don’t bother next time.
Then Republicans win, and liberals come back out, often times against things they *happily support under Democrat rule (immigration is a good example, Obama was hard on immigration and it was ignored, Republicans created a fake border crisis and liberals called them racist and fascist, then Biden started doing those same policies and they’re just normal)
or the fascists lose electoralism, and get the office anyway, because the left isn’t big enough to fight them and the libs are happy to just let them.
and yeah the weird gaslighting ratchet effect ‘im going to do the exact same thing the last guy did but libs are going to yell at you for not sucking my dick about it now’ is not cool
also, you know, when they do riots to get their way. sometimes in an election.
