Sadly, the Center-Right party that we’re all told will save us from fascism actively campaigns against the 2nd Amendment being at all relevant anymore. I am definitely worried that too many the vast majority of Democrats are going to roll over when fascists take power, instead of actually fighting them.
If they mean, “it will be bloodless if people just let us make America a Christo-fascist white ethnostate”, then I pray the Left doesn’t “allow it to be”.
Dems are not the Left, and if you are planning to rely on them use force to oppose anything other than loss of campaign funding, you’re gonna be in a bad place.
An argument on the level of “I just wanted to rob him, but he started screaming, so I simply had to kill him. It could have been bloodless, but he had to ruin it…”
Trump and the like are always screaming about liberals doing witch hunts on them while they are doing very illegal shit. That’s exactly what these guys are going to do if they get a hold of power. It’s always projection.

How braindead would the left need to be to allow a bloodless transition to christofascism?
The 2nd Amendment exists for just this occasion.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I don’t know… democrats always rolled over the past few years and used the increasing crisis as fundraising opportunity.

The Dems are right wing.

Then there’s litterally noone to rely on anymore. Any seemingly actual Left doesn’t have power.
Everyone has the ability to exercise force.
