Basically, they’re trying to find a decades-ago paperwork error by her father to take away her citizenship. If they’re allowed to do that, they can strip a huge fraction of Americans of their citizenship, and go ahead with Miller’s plan to deport 2/3 of the US population.

    It should not be a bannable offense to point out that racist democratic opposition years ago to Ilhan Omar’s candidacy has little to do with Trump’s DOJ and their persecution of her due to baseless conspiracy theories. Fascists don’t need to be enabled to be racist, they are already racist, and calling for someone to be banned for not automatically agreeing with you is a dick move.

      Ahh yes. The “fascism is a mushroom that dropped from the sky overnight” approach to politics.

      Fascists absolutely do need to be enabled to be successful and it’s absolutely what history tells us about fascist movements. Fascism fundamentally depends on liberalism to clear it’s runway. It doesn’t pop out of the ether.

      What trump is doing now isn’t possible without the baseline islamaphobic racism as expressed within the Democratic party, an islamophobia which has been persistent for decades.

      And you’ll need to look up their deleted comment to understand the call for a ban. They were calling me a bot and advocating for violence (that I should be bombed). That’s in addition to the baseline racism because of how Democrats have normalized it, is for whatever reason, just considered acceptable.

      That’s whose side you are taking.

        No, fascists do not need to be “enabled.” They will be fascists whether there are racists in the Democratic party or not. It’s not like they said “Hey, a democrat is racist, so we can be too!” That’s not how it works. They would be Islamophobic regardless if there are also Islamophobic democrats. The Democratic party has zero control over Islamophobia in the Republican party. This is stupid. Every single democrat in the whole country could not be racist and these people would still be racist. This shit is not hard to understand.

        Fascists subvert institutions to gain power. The only way you can blame their opposition for “enabling” is by not killing them. I mean is that what you’re trying to say? Because it sounds like you’re trying to claim that somehow the Democratic party normalized racism and Islamophobia in recent decades which is total bullshit.
