    US has been in the closet fascist for a long time.

      If you’re a wage earner, a minority, a woman, or just simply don’t fit conventional American culture, it’s openly fascist to you. Hell, Idaho got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will follow.

      There aren’t any concentration camps that we know of, at least not yet, but I am sure that will change when Trump is reelected in November and every fascist thing he’s done is vindicated.

          That is definitely not an unfair comparison, especially given that our Constitution kept slavery legalized for the incarcerated.

        Really? No concentration camps? You think the families separated by Trump feel that way

          That’s a fair point, though you mischaracterize it.

          The “separations” (I’d call them kidnappings) occurred under Obama, Trump, and Biden.

          Let’s not pretend there’s any real difference of opinion on this policy on the part of our rulers.

            If you explain it someone who has never heard of either and they asked you what is the difference and the only difference is a time period and ethnicity of the people, they are the same thing.

          Why did you leave out Biden who is doing the same thing?

          I think it’s pretty clear I’m referring to the now and not history.

          If that’s the standard, germany is still nazi germany.

          What a ridiculous thing to say.

            Germany drastically changed their government, constitution, and expressed remorse for their past actions after WW2…

            Yes, that is ridiculous.
