    I don’t know saying Trump is a fascist seems kind of propaganda to me. Don’t get me wrong I’m not voting for him and I don’t like him either

      He’s a fascist because the definition of fascist applies to him.

      Trump is one the spewing fascist rhetoric.

      “How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. You know now a murder, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” he told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.

      Weird, I recognized the rhetoric but not the username. Here is the Project 2025 link again:

      Republicans are overrepresented because of the electoral college in presidential elections. Republicans do better with low voter turnout because more people are inclined to vote for Democrats, but those people tend to be concentrated in cities and certain states. It’s how Trump won the 2016 election despite losing the popular vote. Meaning Democrats need more votes to overcome high population states and cities from being underrepresented in elections.

      So by not voting in this election, people are making it easier for Republicans to win by not helping to overcome this anti-democratic advantage that Republicans have. By not voting a person can contribute to Trump’s success even without supporting him.

      Thankfully there is still time to vote.
