I talk about this all the time.
Like how cant people see America is now totally fascist. This coup didn’t get squashed just postponed. One of the main architect’s sons and grandson were sitting presidents and the us is now completely controlled by corporate power at the intersection of wall street and military / prison industry. Its so obvious and so fucking enraging.
America has been fascist for a long time. Since the continent is so big, there was little neee for 'lebensraum', but oil and other natural resources were always taken by force and subterfuge.
Gun culture, flag fetish, pledges of allegiance, dunking on the poor from every side, criminalizing homeless... the rights have been vanishing at an alarming speed WHILE being a democracy, so just pick one person to stop the elections and you won't notice otherwise.
I dont believe our presidential elections have even been legitimate for the last 50+ years. Of the 14 traits of fascism 13 are obviously present the 14th is fraudulent elections so if our society exhibits 92% of the indicators of fascism then its pretty logical conclusion that we are 100% of the way there.
