Used to think you were a bit over the top on the 'we already have a fascist USA' front, until I watched 7 different news takes on the campus protests and the congressional responses highlighted. 6 of the 7 networks completely ignored the issue of Palestinian slaughter, USA complicity, etc and focussed on successful police action. Only AlJazeera actually spoke to students about the issues and covered the brown-shirt attack by goons at UCLA. Police stood aside and let the thugs go after students with bats and bear spray. 1933 Germany scenario.
I have not argued and do not argue that "we already have a fascist USA." I say we have a fascist movement, a Republifascist party, a Weimar like Dem party, though I guess here I said Vichy (dark laughter) and a fascist leader named Trump. I say it can happen here. If may be happening here. We are about to find out. And we may look back and realize the cancer had in fact irreversibly spread before 2024-26.
"I think a lot of people like" dictatorship says Trump. And his words seem confirmed by how we fall for the lure of persecuting as a form of enjoying an enemy
