One has to ask:

When people deny the existence of the real consequences of voting for fascists–based on the fascists' own words–is it because they are so bereft of brain function that it's a miracle they're still breathing?

Is it because they suffer from an optimism so deranged that it's overpowered reasoning?

Or is it because they want a license to hate and harm, but they lack the courage to be held accountable for it?
