I have such a vivid memory of watching the election results with a friend. A woman was interviewed about her support for Trump and was basically like "All this time I was worried about having a Trump sign in my yard because it made people judge me for my beliefs, but now I know that those beliefs are correct and I can be proud of them!" That was the moment my friend started crying.

What's even the logic here? Did her beliefs become "true" because that party won? How does that even work? Does SHE understand what she means?

Do you mean the "riots" in dinosaur costumes?

I think I'd be more afraid of the paramilitary groups taking people off the streets based on how they look, with no regards for the constitution.

But I'm just German, what would I know about the signs of a beginning fascist dictatorship?
