    Its beyond the scope of my comprehension, how you can call Trump a fascist one week, and then congratulate him winning the next.

      It’s easier when you’re a fascist that only relinquished power when the mob was at the door.

        This has the right idea, but they still would be better even if they didn’t. Maybe even more better.

          Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.

          It’s not the right idea. Decorum is just another token of the privileged to distinguish those that make the decisions from those that feel the consequences. Why get incensed at the dismantling of people’s freedoms when you can afford to insulate yourself from any hardship?
