Seems reductive.

    No, that is plainly incorrect. MAGA and the Project 2025 plan are an indisputable textbook example of fascism, complete with a dictatorial leader; nostalgic obsession for rebirth of a nation which is idealized to be of homogenous identity; consolidation of political, military, and industrial power; and cleansing of undesireables/foriegners.

    Trump’s MAGA rhetoric; ICE deportaton raids targeting a perceived “other”; nationalizing companies like US Steel and Intel; wielding military powers like the national guard, as well as traditionally non-political institutions, against political enemies; targetted attacks on universities and law firms. They’ve literally checked every box and are following the fascist playbook step by step.

    Historians and experts on fascism agree and have been warning this. https://time.com/7294056/signs-of-fascism-are-here/ https://news.berkeley.edu/2024/09/09/fascism-shattered-europe-a-century-ago-and-historians-hear-echoes-today-in-the-u-s/ https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010157022/yale-canada-fascism.html

    So, you’re actually the moron.

    EDIT: Holy post history!!! Now it makes total sense why you’re attempting to muddy the waters with a false “both sides” narrative. Welcome to the blocklist, fascist.

      Isn’t it fun how there is guaranteed bad actors in every thing you read online?
