Comment on Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down Act
LukeZaz@beehaw.org 3 weeks agoI said most of what I wanted to say in this comment, but I’d like to take an extra moment here to point out that you are currently making apologia for fascism.
Putting it bluntly, I don’t give a flying fuck how many people voted for Trump – which wasn’t the majority, by the way, since not everyone votes – there is no amount of votes that makes “doing fascism” okay.

Um, even among the people who cast a vote for President in 2024, Trump didn’t get a majority of the votes. He got fewer than half of the Presidential votes: en.wikipedia.org/…/2024_United_States_presidentia…

I’m aware. My point was that this wasn’t a majority even besides that. Not sure why you seem to be phrasing this as a counterpoint, though, given that it reinforces my comment?

It’s not a counterpoint, but emphasizes an even stronger point. Few Presidents win a majority of those eligible to vote. But to become President without also winning the majority of cast votes is unusual, and it’s especially important to emphasize when such a President claims they have a mandate due to being “popular”, imo.
