fight rather than compromise

Why are there so many stupid people that can vote? Because that is how fascists and authoritarian governments get to grab power.

History has given us some of the best documented examples of how it can go terribly wrong. Specifically Hitler and how he first destroyed democracy. Every step Trump is taking is the same as Hitler did.

Hungary is another good case of how the right got into power and then changed laws to make it extremely unlikely they will ever be unseated.
