Ya the idea that you can't make laws that fascists would abuse when in power is pretty dumb.
you want to elaborate? is there an understood "...because the fascists will never be allowed to be in power again?"
Because if fascists want to do something they will do it whether it is lawful or not. So the idea that you can't make laws that would otherwise help stop the spread of fascism because they might abuse the power is silly. If you are in a place where the laws are being abused, the issue is the people abusing the law not the laws themselves. The fear of what-ifs is what is actively allowing America to regress at it's current rate. You can actively try to stop that from happening or let it happen and then go 'well at least we didn't make it a law to round up journalists while journalists are being round up anyway. Like you wouldn't want to create a situation where big-brained Nintex gets to gleefully post about how the bad behaviour of the right is really the fault of the left.
you realize how actually ineffectual trump often was? how often the things he ran his mouth about ended up amounting to nothing because laws or procedures in place prevented him from doing anything destructive? how many times he made executive orders that achieved nothing?
your argument doesn't work because if trump had the power to "just do it" then he would've done far worse
instead he was left to play with the only toys he had in the toybox
you're assuming that in one administration we have democracy and in the next we have unilateral complete authoritarianism and that's not how things work, trump was prevented from doing unenumerable amounts of harm due to lacking tools like a ministry of truth
if he could just do it, don't you think he would have? he complained about lying fake news constantly, as a fascist in control surely you must expect him to have had the power to shut it all down?
rather than meekly avoiding pressers and events he viewed as unfavorable to him like the correspondents' dinner
it is utterly blind to operate under the default assumption that all actions taken by an administration are good as long as their views mostly align with yours
you haven't put a modicum of thought into how a disinformation board could be wielded for ill
even by a generally favorable administration, because "well if the good guys are doing it it must be good"
if trump had established it, would you be calling for biden to end it? or would you have said "y'know trump won't be in power forever and this could be a great tool for the democrats in the future, I think this is the right call for trump overall"
