    There are numerous ideological and philosophical frameworks that attempt to explain how fascism takes rise, so why do you just blame it on laziness?

    Did Hitler come to power because of German industrialization, German embarrassment from WWI, the great depression, and other global economic hardships, or did Hitler come to power simply because Germans were lazy and didn’t vote?

    Our turn towards fascism was inevitable, and it can be explained better than with some nebulous concept of “laziness”.

    At the very minimum, start asking yourself why Americans are not enthusiastic about voting.

      Because laziness gave it the win.

      Lots of things can give rise to fascism, but when people stay at home they give it a free pass to take control. We had the easiest chance of hitting the brakes.

      Voting is EASY.

      All we had to do was vote. If trump doesn’t leave then it’s going to cost lives to change. Damn fool to think otherwise.
