    Please don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t believe the US is invincible or will beat the whole rest of the world or anything like that. In the end fascists always fail, because they’re not actually good at running countries.

    Be real though. Just because the US isn’t invincible doesn’t mean the US military can’t choose to eradicate any one location on Earth and no one can stop them. All that air and naval power means nowhere is safe from a strike. And that’s before we start talking about giving a fully fascist government access to a cartoonishly oversized nuclear arsenal. When things go badly enough for them, there is a very real chance they hit the F you button and take everyone else down with them.

    Also, let’s be real again, not everyone is going to be on the other side. The US has a lot of allies, and it’s not the only place where fascism is on the rise. The capacity for destruction is like nothing the world has ever seen, and I especially wouldn’t want to be in a place like Mexico, given the proximity and all the fascist propaganda about Mexicans.
