Fascism is here.
All the signs are present.
Doesn't matter that it's America. Fascism can happen anywhere, at any time.

Just because we do Nazi Salutes and make Nazis feel comfortable DOESNT make us Nazis and makes YOU a Nazi actually!
New? Aren't they the old nazi party too?
Being a Nazi isnt a yes or no thing, it's a spectrum of how much Nazi we have in us....
- Republicans
Pretty damn sure they've always been the American Nazi/Klan party.
They are fascists. They are not nazis. Nazis ate WWII era German fascists that attempted to create the ubermensch and create a 1000 year reich.
Nazis are a different flavor of fascism
If they aren't Nazis, why are they running the same playbook Nazis did at the beginning and PERFORMING NAZI SALUTES WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL IN FRONT OF THEM AT PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS?
If they don't want to be Nazis, just regular fascists, maybe they shouldn't use Nazi salutes.
I agree that they are facists but they seem to have an incredible focus on Hitler and Nazism imported from Nazi Germany.
Which is common among fascists but if they aren’t looking for the 1000 year reich, the genocide of the underclass, and the creation of the master race they are not Nazis.
I'm not seeing any evidence that they don't want these things.
Y'all are down voting this but it's correct. What we have is Sparkling Fascism.
Dumbasses can't pronounce fascism though, so most people stick to calling them Nazis. Not the best shorthand but it is what it is.
Who cares? They are Nazis as far as idiot Americans are concerned. The asterix you seem to feel is necessary is not.
Because you come across as poorly educated when you make claims that are easily disproven.
Fascism is like cancer of humanity, it has been on remission for a while and now its starting to come back possibly even worse because it couldn't be eradicated when weakened.
It always holds appeal for some especially people born into wealth that are personally insecure. I suspect that's why American schools dont really teach kids about the fundamentals of fascist philosophy.
Fate and direction of humanity might depend on how well americans resist now. america has way too much military power and nukes.
