      Facts don’t matter? sound pretty fascist to me.

      Besides, fascism has always been here. Anything else requires drinking copious amounts of Kool-Aid.

        You want to complain to the manager of the fascists? Maybe this will get them to stop what they’re doing? Also, if you’re going to argue a point in good faith… at least don’t make it seem like we should accept fascism just because it’s kind of always been around.

          I absolutely detest fascism, but I also recognize that the US has always been fascist from the very start. Not only that, but the US is also the chief exporter of fascism having toppled 75 countries during the Cold War alone. It helps put things in perspective.

              You have to actually know your enemy to fight it. Saying the US is turning fascist is nonsensical.

              You seem to be stuck in a nasty state of cognitive dissonance.

                  Absofuckinglutely.

                  Did you miss the part where the US was pro-Nazi in the 1930’s (that is where America First slogan came from) and wealthy people in the US were instrumental in funding the Nazi party?

                  Did you miss the cold war where the US toppled over seventy democratic countries and installed fascist dictators?

                  Did you miss the genocide of the Native Americans which the Nazi modeled their extermination of the Jews after?

                  Did you miss how Nazi Germany came to all the countries to find a place to send the Jews but wealthy US representatives lobbied the entire world not to take them in?

                  Did you miss after the US/Mexico war the reason we didn’t divide Mexico up into new states was because representatives at the time said it would poison our nations blood?

                  Did you miss the American Revolution where wealthy business owners engaged in terrorism and propaganda to incite a peaceful people against their country and then installed their military commander as the first President?

                  I mean I could go on all day. The US was fascist before we even had a definition for it. Are some policies right now making the US seem even more fascist? Sure, but we have always been.

                    Can I get a citation for this one?

                    So many words when you could have just typed out that you’re a fascist apologist who supports doing nothing because you’ve tried nothing and you’re all out of ideas.
