(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

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.

You're being absolutely disingenuous. 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.
