    Americans have never actually seen a fascist government. Trump is headed that way, but he’s not yet in the same league as a Hitler, Mussolini, or Franco.

      Not true, he’s in league with them since his actions and implemented policies have killed 1M+ citizens as well as all of the other deaths caused by the started & allowed wars he’s overseen

        The million Covid deaths were due to incompetence, not fascism. 😉 It would be so much worse if he was actually good at fascism. LOL.

            Oh god no, the fact that he’s so stupid is his only saving grace.

            The weird thing is, if he were actually good at fascism, he could have grifted so much harder than he already does.

            Example: He could have made wearing masks mandatory, but specifically his own, red “MAGA” masks you had to buy from him.

              True points, but it says something dire that he’s as bad as he is and yet still permitted/successful in his actions.

                That’s what happens when he’s enabled by his own party and the Democrats are out of power. That COULD change after this upcoming election, but not until January, 2027.

                  I don’t have faith in them anymore. Many people don’t. It’s shameful that they don’t allow a more progressive and less troubled segment of the population gain traction. The fact that the DNC allows the name to be as slandered and unpopular as it has become without changing anything at this point signifies that they will ‘maintain course regardless of the weather’, and maybe it will work, but perhaps it will just result in ‘politics as usual returning’ where trump’s ilk just continues to run circles around them in the media.
