Fascim normally fails at it's first grab for power and succeedes on its 2nd or 3rd try. Nothing is over, unfortunately. We will be fighting against this for years

Relevant quote: "Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore." -A.R. Moxon

@bingwen469 whether we're talking about Upton Sinclair's list that was already listed or Umberto Echos characteristics of Ur-fascism or the (perhaps overly) succinct definition of "palingenetic ultranationalism" Trump is absolutely a fascist. We cannot afford denial of reality on this point. We just saw a failed fascist coup, and make no mistake, fascists normally fail the first time they make a hard grab for power and there will be another try after they regroup and reorganize. We will be fighting this for years

Respectfully, people need to stop saying things aren't politics. The choice between democratic government and fascist dictatorship, is political. As is the choice to listen to a reality TV hoast over scientists, the choice of how we structure our medical system to center profit over people, the choice of what to do with our military and police, the choice of how much assistance to give to people in the pandemic, the choice to protect marginalized people from discrimination that may lead to their death by suicide or some other cause, etc. Politics is about power and choosing what to do with large amounts of it is normally a life and death decision for enough people that we use statistics to talk about the relative harm done. Treating politcs like a game with low stakes that all oppinions are valid in is a large part of how we got here.

Far from the first time.

@SkullCandy5671 first off, they were armed and stormed the capitol trying to get at the elected representatives while carrying zip-tie handcuffs looking to take people hostage. We can look to their guns and the noose they put up outside for what may have happened nextb along with the plans of the group that tried to kidnap a politician from Ohio. Also, the BLM protests were mostly peaceful AND most of the violence that did happen was started by the cops. These are objective facts about reality. Stop spreading lies. It makes you look weak and pathetic. Notice how other people can defend their positions without lying? There's a reason for that.

This, only really, really stupid.

@nnvist nope, the talking point of Nazism being on the left/socialist/communist is widely debunked, American fascism is undeniably white nationalist in character, and fascism (including Nazis with their alliance to the papacy) almost always rolls religion into the state because religious authority is another form of power to consolidate and another characteristic by which heirarchy can be differentiated and groups isolated for discrimination. So yeah, you packed a lot of being wrong into that comment.

Hell, if a different group of Americans tried this, they would have been gunned down.

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power." Robert Ingersoll

Fascism has been described as "imperialism brought home" so yeah...this is disturbingly accurate.

@SkullCandy5671 I said "started the violence" but yes, in many cases, we have confimed that the property destruction was started by police going under cover to infiltrate the protests to start smashing windows. The auto-zone incident was one of the earliest confirmed cases of this rather common police tactic. This is also an objective fact about reality, but really inconvenient for you, huh?

@PROVOCATEURSK the other side is a mix of everyone opposed to fascism. You seem suspiciously absent, though.

@lukeohlsen3994 some fought hard, yes, but there is pretty strong evidence that others were complicit. It's also undeniable that they went way softer on them than they would have on non-white leftists pulling the same stunt.

@jonathonrobinson6081 idk, pardoning the confederate traitors didn't seem to make them any less of martyrs.

Even beyond flying the flag of treason, it needs to be repeated that you can be a patriot or a nationalist, but not both. You have to pick one.

@Xi Jinping how's that genocide going, btw?

@SkullCandy5671 I'm sticking entirely to verifiable facts, but I know you get "triggered" that reality has a left-leaning bias 😆

@DunkeyIsBlack the point of the quote is to point out that we should be watching out for fascism wrapping itself in the common virtue-signaling of US politics instead of just watching for swastikas. Not that everyone wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross is a fascist

@1qtaz I mean, the global resurgance of fascism has Steve Bannon written all over it. https://youtu.be/wO6uD3c2qMo

@shmyules8711 I mean, without knowing, you actually have, because every movie villian is Donald Trump https://youtu.be/b7XXs3hzAMs (The hyperbole in that statement is much less than you'd expect, btw)

I'm not going to begrudge you your dark humor and schadenfreude, but do keep in mind that this circus is nuclear-armed and has the largest military on the planet. You have a big stake in which side wins.

I mean the kekistan flag was created by fascists to mirror the Nazi flag, but I'm not seeing it in that frame unless I'm missing something. That said, the "alt-right" has basically taken over 4-chan and spread their propaganda largely through it (even before Qanon) so yeah, it's absolutely involved.

@aliastheabnormal being right about major political predictions for the last 2 decades is a grim form of satisfaction, I can confirm.

Depends on if one sees the American people as disposable subjects or citizens.

@NEStalgicGames not sure if that applies to impeachment, actually, since it's a political procedure instead of a judicial one.

@ronhebert3027 we are a federal, constitutional democratic-republic even by the strictest definition of the term, democracy is a part of our system. If you're going to be pedantic, don't also be wrong.

@ronhebert3027 we are a republic that chooses our representatives democratically. That makes us a democratic republic or a representative democracy (take your preference of synonyms). No shit authoritarians tend to mislabel their countries in their names. That's an irrelevant point. While we're on the subject, though, it's the "constitutional" part, not the "republic" part that prevents a simple majority from doing whatever it wants, so this entire misinformed tangent trying to pry appart the definitions of democracy and republic is irrelevant. You could, hypothetically, have a constitutional dirrect democracy and that could prevent mob rule if structured correctly.
