    If you think fascism is already here you have a poor grasp on fascism.

      Why do you think that? I think really the only big hallmark that is missing is a single dictator/autocracy.

      Otherwise, you have a nationalist, privatized, militaristic country, in which national politicians and news organizations collect money from corporations and as such are so influenced, and a lack of political plurality where voters are consistently forced to choose between the lesser evil.

      Idk, I mean you’re right Im no political science grad. But sounds pretty fascist to me.

        Don’t get me wrong we are working overtime on it but that missing leader is key.

          Yeah. I mean I guess if you want to get technical with it, I’m probably talking about something more akin to neo-fascisim. But I kinda think it’s splitting hairs at the end of the day.
