I said this in the other thread:

> These are the myths that give rise to fascism. Look how much trouble we have with the Lost Cause. Look at Germany’s trouble with the Stabbed in the Back narrative. The Stolen Election narrative must be cut at the stem. The alternative is too horrible to contemplate (as if we haven’t all been contemplating it for 4 years now)

Our chance to end fascism was to win this election in a landslide. On Tuesday morning, when I heard about “record turnouts”, I thought we just might do it. But this “too close to call” election plays right into Trump’s hands. I am elated Trump lost. But I fear this will accelerate our slide towards fascism.
