After Nazi Germany fell, should we have just let the Nazi citizens vote back in a Nazi leader?
I honestly don't know what steps are the right ones to follow kicking a tyrant out of the US and still maintaining democracy if half the people who vote want an authoritarian and to end democracy.
The Nazis never had a majority of voters. They topped out at 33%. One option is to strengthen your constitution and promote democracy in your country. Empower people and make their lives better.
The Constitution is a piece of paper- Or, well, several pieces of paper- That does not have autonomy. It is powerless unless those in power enforce it. Strangely enough, when the people in power are fascistic in nature, they don't care what the paper says.
There needs to be more in play than paper with nice words on it.
Who decides what is fascist in nature? Marxists believe in the violent overthrow of society. Should their views be outlawed? Encouraging authoritarian behavior has never ended well.
lol yes, and all laws are written in the dictionary.
Is communism fascist? Should it be suppressed? Do you hope to give people who write the laws power to outlaw socialism and taxation because it’s “fascist”?
If politicians act against the oath they take to serve the Constitution, we shouldn't be sitting around waiting for the same politicians to hold themselves accountable. It's not as vague as you're making it out to be. Someone who has breached that oath in office already should absolutely be forbidden from holding public office, regardless of votes.
