Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.
Oh the media knows exactly what they are doing. Trump gets them views and clicks. Democrats are willing to attack other Republicans on Trumps behalf because they fund raise off of Trump too. Everything democrats don’t like is a “fascist MAGA Qanon” conspiracy.
There is no risk of fascism in the US from the right.
“Make America Great Again” is a slogan taken from Bill Clinton and not offensive to any sane humans.
I’ve yet to meet anyone who knows what Qanon is.
The internet is not real life and neither is the media.
When people talk about the rise of fascism they are rarely talking about the nuts online, though that group is dangerous because they radicalize people who are willing to commit terrorism and lead to January 6.
The rise of fascism are the actual policy that Republicans are pushing through, from attacks on reproductive rights to attacks on LGBTQ+ people.
Trans and gay people were among the first targeted by Nazis. The infamous book burning from the time was research from a sex and gender research clinic.
Yep that’s the “anything I don’t like is fascism” talking points I was talking about. What industries are the “fascist” Republicans who are not in power currently trying to nationalize?
They aren’t getting stuff nationalize, yet, but basically every republican state is implementing some form of everything I mentioned from abortion bans to denying Healthcare for trans people.
