Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The thing that is upsetting about American fascism is not that it exists.
It's the fact that everyone is debating it like an argument about what kind of chairs you want at a wedding.
It's the same scenario that played out in 1930s Germany and the rise of Nazism ..... everyone kept arguing that it wouldn't happen, it's not like that, it isn't that bad, they have good points, we can control it, we won't let them go too far, everyone obeys the rule of law, we have morals ....
..... then we all had to literally break the entire world in order to fix the problem.
I couldn't agree more, the parallel between Nazi Germany and current day America is undeniable
Wonder if the rest of the sane world will have to make a deal with the devil, just not with the Soviets but the Chinese.
Imagine the Reichstag flag picture with a Chinese flag on the White House. Except everyone is in NBC suits and knows we'll go extinct in years.
The American empire is much larger than the territories Germany controlled.
If the US were to become fascist, it would likely influence South America, Western Europe, the Caribbean, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and other regions to follow suit.
No empire is that powerful .... as soon as you think you can control a group of people with violence and fear, you've taken the first step to losing control.
It might work at first and it may even go on for a while but it won't last.
It's not a Hollywood fantasy either ... every empire in history started with great power and ended in destruction. It won't be pretty and it won't work out as some epic drama but it will end because people everywhere will never stand for it.
