Do Americans truly understand FASCISM?

[Unknown Poster]

Why did we learn about the Holocaust in grade school, middle school, high school, college...etc?

In order to not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now, America is repeating those same mistakes.

Internment/Concentration Camps? Check

Illegal Raids? Check

Travel/Ethnic Bans? Check

Kids in Cages? Check

A demagogue who blames problems on "others"? Check

Deportations? Check

Needless Mass Death? Check


I mean, the rest of the world is looking at this country in horror right now. Trump is making all the moves to ensure that the coronavirus goes NOWHERE cause he sees it as a opportunity to usurp power and maintain leverage against his political enemies. The way him and his followers look at this virus...it's like they WANT it to spread...cause it kills off undesirable communities disproportionately (minorities, the poor, the elderly) and sells the idea that in order to be "great again" we must cleanse the country and let the virus wash over it so only the "pure" and "true Americans" remain. It's a play out of Adolph Hitler's playbook.

I just consider Americans are willfully ignorant and refuse to think that fascism could happen here even though it's happening right now.

Politicians squashing dissent by criminalizing protest groups and antifascists while supporting fascism and the death of democracy...

Politicians urging the military to shoot and kill protestors.

This is not a democracy anymore...do y'all understand that?

When your white and are the majority fascism is ok... those black soldiers who came back from fighting in WW2 was still nikkas here... white folks tend not to tell that part there's no such thing as equality in real life... as long as the white man is on top they dont care...

Comments like this just prove that Americans don't understand fascism. Or just don't want to.

Needless Mass Death is literally one of the points or fascism. What would you call 130,000+ people dying of a virus that the President did nothing about for four months?

Democide. Genocide.

And now with this America is being isolated cause its alienated its allies...as time goes on sane countries won't want to be associated with us.

Keep on laughing though....there's nothing funny about this.

Other countries are already teaching thier students that America IS a failed democracy right now.

Again...the idea that American Exceptionalism would save us from this fate is looking foolish...

How about what he’s gotten impeached for?

Bill Barr’s corruption involving cover ups, getting his allies off from charges, muddying the waters in the muller report and purely doing Trump’s bidding.

Advocating for extreme voter suppression which undermines democracy obviously

Threatening to use the military against his own citizens.

He’s still running concentration camps

advocating for throwing members of the press in prison?

Calling Obama treasonous with nothing to back it up.

Blatantly using propaganda and outright lies to mislead the public

joking or not he feels like he should be owed more than 2 terms according to Bolton

That smells like a fascist to me

The thing is Trump has strongly pushed the Republican party toward autocracy. There are mainstream Republican thinkpieces in places like National Review that openly question the validity of liberal democracy.

Reactionary thought that used to be fringe is mainstream now. They are embracing illiberalism and nationalism.

It's not him that's the problem, it's what he and his fanatical followers are inspiring.

Americans really don't want to see what's right in front of their faces.

What does that say about the Republican party? They've been flirting with fascism since the Nixon days.

Trump is just the final stage of all those decades of dog whistle politics. It's morphed into a fascist party.

You can say what you want about Democrats/Liberals...they are not putting people in cages and allowing them to die by the hundreds of thousands through their inactions.

The moment you have needless mass death in a situation you control as a government, you have entered fascist territory. Without a doubt. let's stop lying to ourselves.
