>fascist dictatorship

You probably shouldn’t be calling other people brainwashed.

What do you call it when one of the billionaires who proudly and publicly sponsored the winning candidate for president (who, fun fact, has nominated enough supreme court judges that they ruled he has total immunity on official acts, and got away with an insurrection, rape, financial fraud, so obviously not a qualified candidate) does a Nazi salute on live TV in front of the whole country?

If this were a book or a movie, everyone would be dismissing it as far too obvious and not how real world works.

You’re right, it has become a fascist oligarchy in just two weeks. Faster than it took for you to realize it. But there’s still time to make Trump king.

I hope you're right. I like America, I want you guys to overcome this.

Just remember that what most people think of when you say "fascism" is "literally Nazis".

I don't think many people believe that's where the US is heading. There are far more possible flavors of fascism.

The direction of the US is more like what Russia has, an oligarchy, with elements of fascism like concentration camps.

  • Yep, fascism will mold itself to the current culture and climate, and in the US right now that seems it will be meme ironic but real fascism.
