Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.
It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

Historically, it has always taken violence to remove fascists from power.

They already believe that. There’s no point in asking your oppressor if they are uncomfortable with you getting oppressed. Just ask any school bully.

So what though? If it gets to the point of having to violently overview the government, we’re past the point of precedent. We can just use their beloved AI to scrub social media profiles and purge them from the voting registry. Sure they’ll believe that was the plan all along, but we’d have a few decades where the scales were tipped so far in our favor that their children and grandchildren could be properly educated without all the revisionist bullshit.
That’s the key, right? You’ve gotta build a society afterwards that doesn’t perpetuate the cycles of abuse and enlightens people with education. One that doesn’t exploit anybody and doesn’t have a class structure that divides people. That’s the only way you can build a society that can reliably raise every child healthily. Any society that strives for equality like that will necessarily have to ignore the voices of those who want to hold it back.
There’s ample of evidence that a couple of decades to reeducate their children and grandchildren simply isn’t enough or doesn’t work.
We had a couple of decades to educate everyone about fascism,… and yet we’re here.
We allowed them to rewrite the history books. We’re here because education was so fucking bad. I grew up in California and was taught that MLK’s I have a dream speech solved racism in America and that the civil war was about states rights. There’s lots of room for improvement.
Trying to educate people who insist on being lost beyond salvation is a waste for everyone involved. If they love the sword so much, let’s let them die by it and let’s move on past their era.

Not always. The Portuguese carnation revolution happened without violence. Spain democratised right after Franco’s death.
How can you say “Spain democratized after francos death” as if the entire bloody Spanish Civil War didn’t happen?
By that same logic it seems that Germany also overcame fascism peacefully, because Germany democratized right after Hitlers death.
So violence, military coup or heart failure?
Heart failure sounds both easier and more likely.
Facebook clowns laughed at me when I said that you can vote in fascism, but you have to shoot your way out.
