    fascism requires the notion that everyone who isn’t part of the master race should be massacred

    That’s Nazism. Fascism is the Mussolini thing.

    people literally think hitler is the single end-all-be-all of fascism. bitch didn’t even invent it scared-fash did

    if fascism comes to the united states it will be cloaked in a flag of course, but more importantly 80% of this idiot country will confidently declare it isn’t because it doesn’t come from a bavarian beerhall or some shit. the american people are unintellectual

    passed criminal justice reform

    I entirely forgot what Trump did. But I’m still pretty darn sure it was pure politics, superficial, and in no meaningful sense “reform”.

    personally pardoned black inmates

    How many people? ~5? And he pardoned some rappers. That was pure politics too.

    -–

    If some net rando gets the details wrong - I don’t think anything of it. But politics is her fucking job and it pays her mortgage and her bills. How can anybody be so stupid?

    Ninja edit. It’s a rhetorical question of course.

    This is what happens when you start with the assumption that the USA doesn’t currently show signs of Fascism, and that Fascism must be done to the US.

    The Citizenry is currently engaged in a series of events of stochastic terrorism

    Congress is entirely undemocratic

    The USA does plenty of massacres, while those are mostly outside of the US. What ICE does is within the US. But Non-citizens don’t count I guess.

    How can Ana Kasperian try to champion Trump’s criminal justice reform when she uses her platform to rail against bail reform laws and do the same crime fearmongering that they do on MSM? Scratched liberal is scratched.

    conquest/imperialism

    What the FUCK do you think America loves doing exactly?

    Militarised citizenry

    Somehow forgotten about the literal armed fascist militias? Memory holed those I guess. Even if at large the citizens are not currently militarised they can be at any point mobilised into mass violence and have the weaponry to do so.

    Elimination of our government bodies

    Don’t need to eliminate what doesn’t work in the first place. There’s no communist opposition the government bodies were built from the ground up to serve fascists so they don’t need elimination

    Trump isn’t facist… America is fascist
