I think a more interesting question would be "how."

This is the same as any major conflict. People want to try to work thing out without violence. The times that does happen are unremarkable. The times it doesn't happen, we can judge later weather it was the right thing to do.

The word literally means "not from here." In the bible, Jesus tells us to be kind to the alien among us, and he wasn't talking about men from Mars.

This is, functionally, the concentration camps.

If voting could stop fascists, then in 2020 when Joe Biden got more votes than Donald Trump, he would have been president. There would have been a democrat in office from 2021-2024. And your fantasy world sounds nice, but it’s not what happened here in the real world.

Is this some kind of advanced sarcasm? Because I'm not understanding what you're trying to say.

I can’t recall a single time in history where voting has defeated fascism.

Fascists mostly start by winning legitimate elections. Defeating fascism with votes would just look like Clinton winning the election instead of Trump.

You might as well say that you can't recall a single time when having a visible security presence stopped a robbery.

That's the thing that a lot of people keep misunderstanding. If the President of the US wants a person back from what I am going to describe as "A lesser country," only for this exact moment, and not for any other case at all, he can get that person back. Send a battle group over, and ask politely.

El Salvador does not have the ability to keep him, if we want him back.

If they die messily, how long will it be before the next courageous instinct shows up?

I like huge anime titties more than this guy, but I have the decency not to advertise the fact to my neighbors.

I don't know the meaning, either. Temba, his arms wide?

I can't imagine anyone sane wanting this. There are some innovations that I can see people wanting to roll back, but not this one.

Unless you own a coal mine, or are owned by someone who owns a coal mine, this is stupidity from any angle.

I could do without the leather. But that sounds amazing.
