      This oversimplification is how the world will learn nothing from this. Putin didn’t compromise 47 million Americans into voting for fascism.

      Major political and economic change is needed. How many times does fascism have to materialize exactly as leftists have predicted before people start reevaluating the economic system that creates Elon Musks.

        Nah, he conned them into it. But does the difference matter?

          Yes, my point is you can Thanos snap Trump and Putin out of existence today and if you make no other changes then fascism will still be here or will rise again soon.

          Economic and political change is needed

        You’re right, it was probably a cooperation among Putin and several American billionaires.

        The destruction of education so people as easier to control is a decades long games started by russia after the end of the cold war Trump is the puppet controling the uneducated.

        Putin did not have to compromise 47 millions people only 1 and he did trump is a KGB agent since the 80’s at least

        And sadly for the change you want so no more Elon Musks are created a violent revolution is needed no change of politic will change that

          Historically violence is very effective at political change, but there are many peaceful examples as well. Let’s hope this one can be peaceful but some violence at the start of fascism is better than lots of violence being required to unroot deeply ingrained fascism.

          Hard to say where USA is today. I’m a little surprised at how quiet the military’s being as the constitution is being torn up and allies are being turned into enemies, I have to hope they’d turn down orders to invade former allies, at least.

          Hopefully the quiet is a sign that there’s internal scheming.
