While I understand where the sentiment is coming from and hate Trump with the passion of a thousand suns, I have never once found that to be a way forward in real life. It leads to the kind of divisive politics that we see in America today, where people draw these hardcore lines that divide us and as a result we don't actually talk and figure out the root cause of our issues and instead seem content on screaming our side is better, our side is right.
Fascism is a disgusting thing, but there's a socioeconomic reason why people in the US are getting radicalized towards it and we aren't going to figure that out if we're all busy generalizing that group as disgusting people. Just my two cents.
