America is run as a Fascist State

[BlueOak]

I will be using Wikipedia's definition of fascist principles and be happy to argue them on any post I make.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

I will try to condense my America is run by fascists into this thread, where appropriate, and also add from time to time European or sliding democracy examples of fascism if and when they occur or I am alerted to them.

The courts are overridden. This is what fascist do.

Below, arresting the political competition.  This is what fascist do.

 

Same below, and he did identify himself. He is responsible for immigration oversight.
 

 

Tourists are barred for political reasons.  Fascist
 

Trump Nuclear Threats:  Outside of WW2 I have never seen a non-fascist state do this.

Firing pepper balls into a car with a kid and an infant in it, I example this being reported as normal. This is what fascists do: normalise this level of suppression and violence.
 

Using the army against political protest: Fascist.

I have in the past argued the republican party embodies most of these; now I would argue they embody almost all of them.  While the democrats embody quite a few as well. I will tend to do that via videos here unless someone wishes to dispute it.

A lot of Americans are just straight ignorant bro. They watch Fox News and see “oh no brown and black people ruining our country, we need to stop this!” That’s what it essentially comes down to.

Good analysis!

Disabled protesters were zip-tied in the capital, protesting their medical aid being cut.
Comical fascism-level of suppression this. Utterly nonsensical. 

*Something we see fairly often he says. - Well in that case he lives in a cartoon. I have never in my 40+ years of life seen a disabled protester be handcuffed by police, anywhere. But this is normalized now in the states, and its why I picked a random news network, not Kyle's original video.

The Republican controlled legislature is on the verge of passing one of the worst pieces of domestic legislation in American history. Trump's Big Horrific Bill is essentially Project 2025 in legislative form.

Make no mistake, droves of Americans are going to die as a direct result of the MAGA Murder Bill.

And the spineless worms who voted to kick 17 million people off from their healthcare know it.

In addition to the needless death and suffering for countless Americans, this bill effectively turns ICE into a private military that's at the beck and call of the felon occupying the White House with a 10x budget increase. This essentially gives the dictator his Gestapo on a silver platter.

Fuck anyone who voted for this, and who continues to support this criminal regime.

So why don’t we rename this thread to include the big beautiful bill discussion because that is pretty awful news and it seems no one has mustered the will to make a thread on it yet
