    sad thing is - some don't know fascism from Shinola. As was recently said - if a little bit of order (vs letting true fascist burn down cities) causes people to freak out, they should wear a helmet & shoulder pads.
    Go to a place like china, & start complaining about the government, & when you mysteriously disappear? That's when you can start thinking about what fascism is.


    Yes that trip to Detroit was truly eye opening. That was ¼ a century ago & the auto industry was already decimated. Then there were the intermittent sounds of gunshots, if you were to step outside the Motor City Hotel.

    In 1972 around the time of the "big pay raise," I was an E2 Marine stationed in Kansas City renting in an affordable, "low income", area where I heard gun shots every other day.

    What burned down city? You should just link your right wing cult daily news feed to here. If you think protesting is fascism you can always move to elsewhere. Protesting is the foundation of America, you know, throw the tea in the harbor.

    Your boy tried to stop an election with violence. That’s the big one.

    Fascism is the foundation of the Trump administration. He himself called it the “Fourth Reich.”

    Trump campaign video includes references to a “unified Reich” | AP News



    It does not end at cracking down on protesters. He has been decimating the universities (not just Harvard but all) and education in general, launched a war on science, launched a war on diversity ironically calling diversity racism, launched a war on immigrants and citizens of other countries, decimating the independent government organizations so that he can have a full control of the government, and so on and so on.

    Wait until it gets worse. Do you think there is going to be 2028 elections or he will declare martial law due to emergency with country being invaded and cancel the elections? We are talking about a guy who did not accept the results of the previous election and incited a riot to forcefully overthrow the members of the congress and have his own vice president hanged.

    So comical. Somebody else said that somebody else said . . . . . . . .
    but best of all - from the so-calle"proof link". (& my favorite) ;
    how convenient.
    No one has a copy? My favorite also
    Let me point out the assanity of this via equally fake. "CNN just spotted a trump assassinator & did nothing". Sorry - but the video was pulled down. LOL
    But maybe some can't see thar kind of fake stupidity?
    Some, are those who will grasp at any straw to find something, anything bad that they can prove up how "horrific" things are.
    Wouldn't most prefer not to have Trump? Of course, but when offered the choice between Kamala or biden, you pick your poison.
    EDIT
    Of note, at least one of the reporters on this story was one who insisted the hunter laptop was fake, as well as the steel dossier was real.
