Inspired by various posts I've seen on Tumblr, Twitter, and Reddit:
If the Democrats really wanted to carry out a "denazification" of the American electorate, in what ways should they go about doing it?
Edit: to clarify, I'm seeing a lot of people on the left respond to the election with things to the effect of "the Democrat party doesn't have a policy problem, the voters have a racism/sexism/Fascism problem." The party doesn't need to change anything about their policies or their candidates, or even their messaging, they need to fix our horrible electorate, and that it contains so many hateful bigots who would knowingly vote for a Fascist like Trump, over an ideal candidate like Kamala Harris. (See some here and here.) Thus, they call for a "denazification" of America.
Now, if I were to reply to these people with something like "And just how do you propose to do that?", I'd generally be dismissed. But if, in something like a parallel to Cunningham's Law, I instead ask "Do you think [Plan A] would be a good method of denazification? Or would [Plan B] be better?," it's much more likely to generate replies, and discussion, and thus likely more thought about what such a "denazification" would actually entail, how they probably can't actually do it, and maybe even get them to move on from the hysterics (I know, wishful thinking).
Revoke Internet access for large swaths of the population.
How does that significantly reduce the number of fascist supporters of the fascist Trump among the American population?
