    No, I’m not, which is why I brought up States’ Rights which is doing exactly that while the conservative federal government is abandoning it’s role to protect individual liberty. The States Rights issue stopped being economic long ago.

      You can’t weaken the federal government and be a fascist at the same time.

        Sure you can. What you’re doing is removing federal protections of individuals so that states can fasciststially abuse them without consequence.

        Wanna explain why Louisiana is planning to criminalize librarians and how that isnt fascism at all?

          Sounds like you are working from a different definition of fascism.

            I’m going by the 14 tenets outlined by Dr. Lawrence Britt

              I read through the 14 tenets and kept thinking it was stupid, vague, biased, and perfect for applying to whatever you don’t like. Not only that but it could be easily applied to any authoritarian regime, Communist, fascist, or whatever. And then I looked into it a little more and it turns out that he isn’t a doctor at all, just some magazine contributor for a leftist magazine. I assume you looked it up just now, but you may want to look into it a little more carefully before you base too much on that. There is actually a lot of discussion and criticism around the validity of those points.

                Oh gee I wonder by whom?

                There are others with similar tenet lists as well. They absolutely apply to all the anti-American, freedom-despising MAGAt fascist shitheads and their psychotically deranged egomaniacal leader. Is that your crowd?

                  There is a lot of space between calling out inconsistencies, agendas, and extremists on the left, and being a right wing extremist. If you think being able to criticize obviously agenda-driven lists, or to see nuance or weaknesses in them is some kind of litmus test for extremism, then perhaps it is YOU that is the extremist.

                    They do not exist in that space. Meanwhile conservatism has solved zero problems and has no intention to. They cannot be trusted with or allowed to govern.
