I dunno what you want me to say:

A fascist got himself elected president of the United States, did a bunch of fascist shit, and then tried a type of coup known as an autogolpe - a coup to keep a strongman in power anti-democratically. Instead of putting that guy's ass in jail, we're putting him all over our TV under the logic that "he's running for office, so stopping him is anti-democratic."

In many ways, Weimar Germany would laugh at how weak WE are; so the comparison is more than apt.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Am I alone in thinking that the only reason it didn't actually succeed was because everyone involved was stupid enough to try a coup without military support? Or am I off base?

@sparkledragon5 If you think your opponents' attempt at carrying out their goals is spectacularly incompetent, sometimes its useful to revise your estimate of their goals.
