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.

MODERATORS
I’m glad you got there eventually. Keep listening closely to the people who told you this years ago, they are clearly more perceptive than you.
So the United States, once the world’s exemplary liberal democracy, is now a hybrid state combining a fascist leader and a liberal Constitution; but no, it has not fallen to fascism. And it will not.
Well that’s alright then. I almost thought the Atlantic was becoming less useless for a second there
"I declare it"
Fucking ridiculous. "Hitler is a Nazi, but Germany isnt Nazi!"
If they keep plugging their ears it can't be true!
The Atlantic is the worst
Peak The Atlantic article
I'm pretty sure it was The Atlantic where I saw an article sanewashing Donvict being so weirdly thirsty for Greenland.
I mean....what the fuck?
It was fascism this time 12 months ago when Trump had women and people of colors plaques and images covered at national museums and at nasa.
When they banned words from research. Like: women. Female. Bias, transgender, equality. Privilege.
When they prosecuted women as murderers for having a safe first trimester termination of pregnancy.
When they started demanding a woman must die before any medical procedures would be performed that could harm a fetus, even if that fetus was dead or non viable.
When they removed black veterans stories from the VA websites and other government websites.
When they changed the dod to the department of war.
My gawd. This all started a year ago. It was fascism then.
It was fascism in 2016 when he promised to ban people from entering the US based on religion.
It was clearly fascism when Project 2025 was leaked.
It wasn't leaked. The people who made it made a website and publicly posted it. They announced their fascist agenda and still people ignored it
Shocked. I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.
Maybe the mainstream will finally reach consensus on the label just as the last reporters are being onboarded at gunpoint to concentration camp trains.
Lots of corporations in Germany and more broadly supported the Nazis right up until there was significant power mounted in opposition to Hitler. Our media is captured by these ghouls, so I don't honestly know how long it will go. Maybe until the power shifts.
Fascism is profitable for corporations, of course they like it. German companies had literal slave labor to work for them, that's so much savings on labor costs.
I’d like to take this opportunity to express the profoundly tragic failure of Democrats to mount any kind of meaningful opposition to this fascist project, that has been underway since at least the Reagan administration.
They just voted to fund ICE. Again.
Also the fact that Donny got off for January 6th still blows my fucking mind.
That's because they're fine with fascism too. This isn't a fight between parties. It's a fight between the rich owner class and everyone else.
They're not failing at anything. A significant amount of them are just quietly complicit.
"I resisted calling it fascism until it was too late and people were dying at the hands of monsters."
Get fucked. It was fascism when it was George Floyd and it's fascism now. It's been a fascism white people were willing to ignore because it didn't impact them directly for fucking decades, if not a hundred years or more.
Great job joining us in reality.
[Fascism] has been overused to the point of meaninglessness, especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action.
Yeah, this guy can fuck right off.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
Maybe he's been in opposition of using the term because he's fucking fascist-lite himself. Fascist with half the calories.

Well, welcome to the party, I guess.
Stuff like this is why I unsubscribed. Just respectability politics.
Even if, as I put it in my other reply to a similarly limp dicked Atlantic article, you're so late to the party that the caterers that were hired for it were deported by ICE months ago.
I'm reminded of that smarmy dickhead that wrote "Liberal Fascism" that was about mansplaining how it was really the liberals that were the fascists.
Every conservative spent a lot of time telling me I simply must read this book.
Then there was Tucker, who said he'd have to blame liberals if he were to later support fascism because, really, what choice did he have? People kept calling him a fascist, the poor dear! And insisting that people Tucker doesn't value have rights!
I wonder which of the 3000 things over the past decade changed their minds.
3000 things? Using the short list? 😆
Yeah, printer ran out of ink, so we could only get the top 3k; HP promised new ink is in the mail.
Before the election, WSJ's presidential nominee highlights had something like "we've heard some people say Trump will lead America into fascism but we don't believe that to actually be true and think this is an exaggeration" or some other bullshit along those lines.
Would love to have the WSJ editorial staff follow up on that if they haven't already.
their silence today with the atlantic coming forward is extremely embarrassing, along with the nytimes
Only thing I will give NYT credit for is the way they recently put together a bunch of the Renee Good videos, determined they showed (what the rest of us already knew) that the murderer was not in front of the car along with a visual explainer, and put it on the front page. That got the unvarnished visual evidence in front of a lot of people that would otherwise have not seen it.
But that's just one thing, and they've been sanewashing for years. Beyond that, both the WSJ and the NYT is a big part of the reason we're here. Maybe if they hadn't worked so hard at bothsidesing insanity and lies they would not have lent such a helping hand to the speedrun into fascism that was 47ths first year.
And because you didnt have the spine to say when it could have made a difference, we are here.
