I upvoted you and downvoted the post.

I'd expect that an intelligent, well reasoned and well documented argument for fascism would still get a serious downvote here.

I normally down for quality on low karma posts and downvote for opinion on high karma posts. But when the opinion is assinine enough, even the most eloquent expression deserves a downvote.

Downvoting in this context isn't suppression, its just a strong statement that this opinion is outside our community. And there are plenty of things I disagree with that I wouldn't downvote below 1 because I know they are held by a reasonable fraction of the intelligent people here.
