If history tells us anything, fascists love advertising that they're actually socialists and that you should definitely vote for them. And North Carolina got a little taste of what that might feel like last year.

Yes, but not only is it better than what we current have, but it goes against the whole "That’s a problem no matter how government officials are elected, and therefore irrelevant." claim you made earlier.
