OMG. I tried to explain something by mentioning that we have 50 autonomous states that are able to make their own laws about voter registration and ID, and he retorted by saying that Canada has way more autonomous provinces.

How would you feel about an Assange type publishing leaks on your fascist movement RP?

There is no real fascist movement yet, but if you mean the Alt-Right I would be all for it. Transparency is a virtue in a functional democracy and secrecy is the shield of the evil and incompetent. People have a right to know what they are voting for.

How does transparency jibe with fascism? Maintaining power requires secrecy, especially authoritarian power.

Well we arent in fascism yet, we are in Democracy and we all benefit the better it works. But in Fascism transparency should be an even greater virtue, our leaders would be in power for their connection to the will of the people. If they do not honor the will of the people they should be replaced. Betraying the will of the people should be exposed.

The people want things. Getting them is what keeps people in power. The means are often not what people are okay with. That's a conflict that transparency can't resolve.

Are we still supposed to respect a person like that?  Some people on FB say Trump won because we didn't respect dumb people, and called them dumb.

I like where you're going with this.

And anyway, they got upset at being called racist and said they were being condescended to, but they apparently didn't notice when they said "all lives matter" and "not all men", and for kids to "toughen up" when bullied.

Trump won because he actually recognized and offered solutions to their problems, while ALL you could do was call them dumb. Im curious though, "some people on FB" How many of the people who voted for Trump do you actually KNOW?

Everyone deserves respect.
