A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now.

  Funniest thing I realised about american propaganda is how in your fiction there’s always a threat of an authoritarian evil nation dropping a nuclear bomb, and these countries are usually Russia, North Korea, China, Iran… Now cut to real life and tell me what is the only authoritarian evil country that ever dropped a nuclear bomb.

      You’re actually right. My mistake as I was meaning to say atomic bomb, not nuclear.

  People thinking trump is a fascist seriously underestimate the evil of fascists. Trump is a pretty moderate person in most regards. I’ll get downvotes to hell for saying this but that’s the truth. Trump hasn’t done any mass executions or genocides hence on the comparative scale of politics he is a moderate. Not to mention that Hillary Clinton, Joe biden, and kamala Harris said many things that are more extreme than trump just a couple years ago (go google the clips).

    You’re getting downvoted not because this is some hot take people disagree with, but because you’re objectively wrong.

      A claim to objective reality requites specifics. It requires objective proof that a claim is incorrect. I ask you to present such evidence. I made a claim from a place of personal opinion from my observations of global politics and history. You’ve set urself up with a very hard task of proving something is counter to objective reality. Good luck.

    Trump can’t get away with mass executions or genocide. Hitler could not have at the beginning of his rule.

  Sorry if this offends some US citizens, but seen from here this just seems a slightly louder and smooth-riding drift in the same direction the USA has always navigated towards.
