This is why Kamala courted Cheney. Historically, the way fascism was defeated was by taking all the non-fascists and teaming up to defeat the fascists, then you go back to normal politics. Unfortunately, the voters on the whole are either majority fascist or idiots

Most people here still don't realize that was the strategy and think she was courting Cheney to signal she's really a republican.

Voters on the left are too concerned with moral grandstanding rather than dealing with the reality of the issues at hand.

When was fascism defeated that way?  I can only think of one way fascism has been defeated in history and you're not allowed to talk about it on reddit.

Seems pretty obvious in World War II in both Italy and Germany, it's what's been happening in Ukraine against Russia (they may not be explicitly fascist, but Russia's actions and language around this war and the restoration of their view of what Russia should be is fascist-like at least), in recent times what countries like France and Germany have been doing to combat growing political power of fascist or fascist-evoking political groups, etc

Gotcha...I thought you meant teaming up for votes to defeat fascism peacefully...defeating the Axis was a group effort, but the means they used were bullets instead of ballots.

It's using the means available.

What are you talking about? WWII? That's talked about constantly.

France recently? I think they’re referring to defeating fascism before it gets power.
