    I hate to break it to all the libs - but the US is already (and has been in the past) about as fascist as it can get. You want to see institutionalized (and perfectly normalized) fascism for yourself? Just look for your nearest cop - you won’t have to look long.

    Liberals have always signed on to US fascism - as long as it wasn’t aimed at them, libs were fine with the imperialism and class repression (all the things you can’t do without fascists) long before Trump was even born.

    Trump is not a fascist - he’s merely cosplaying as one. Trump knows he couldn’t drain the swamp even if he wanted to - the swamp made him. This is not good news - the swamp (ie, the US political establishment) has always nurtured and maintained fascism to keep the people at the bottom from threatening the people at the top. US fascism is nothing new. - this call was always coming from inside the house.

      This is you, discouraging the basic practice of voting and then cowering away when you’re called out.

      You’re a troll, obsessed with (and speaking as if you understand) the nuance of the US while you’re all the way in South Africa. You have nothing to say and you’re universally disliked.

        Lol!

        I can’t answer posts that Lemmy physically won’t allow me to answer, genius.

        (and speaking as if you understand) the nuance of the US while you’re all the way in South Africa

        Yes… and? Is this the first time you’ve encountered people outside the US that understands US politics better than the majority of people inside the US?

        Guess what… there’s nothing strange about that.

        You have nothing to say and you’re universally disliked.

        Come now, liberal - I’m “universally disliked” because I have “nothing to say”? I expect that is going to make about as much sense as anything else I’m going to get out of you.

      “…and this is why there shouldn’t be any taxes” C’mon, go ahead, round that the corner, libertarian - we all know you want to.

      I don’t think you know what actual fascism is, or what it looks like. Your statement reads like you are boycotting universities and have casually avoided being “educated” by “credited professionals” so that you don’t turn a “decent person” who “contributes to society” and “understands words”.

      Keep fighting that good fight, you do your own research!

        I grew up in a fascist state, liberal. I know fascism in the bone. And here’s the funny thing - so do you. The difference is that I don’t tell myself canned narratives about it when it’s staring me in the face.

        That’s what liberals do - and you sure hate it when anyone points all of it out to you.

        But hey, who knows… maybe you will get to “vote harder” and, by some miracle, Biden gets a win come November. And then you’ll be performing the exact same histrionics in four years’ time and not understanding why.
