What are some challenges you think the next generation will face?

@BlueVeins Are you talking about Fascism like Italy had under Mussolini or more along the lines of Nazism?

@69TommyDe I guess I mean fascism more generically, and probably closest to what Russia and Saudi Arabia. This is roughly defined by the 14 characteristics written by Lawrence Britt.

@BlueVeins I see & what the US is currently going through with the current presidency

@69TommyDe If you think this is bad, you should keep an eye on the situation in Brazil. 😮 The President there openly, unironically supports the massacre of thousands of liberals.

@BlueVeins It's only a matter of time of when something like that happens in the US

@69TommyDe Yeah, it's horrifying, really. Our institutions are strong, but the longer our lawmakers remain ineffectual and deny facts, the greater the probability of losing democracy. I don't think we're gonna make it out alright. And these other countries, they all know that the most vulnerable part of us is our democratic institutions. The Russians and Chinese know that they can't beat us militarily, so they attack us on a weaker front...

@BlueVeins I believe that & if anything happens to the US I already have a country in mind to flee to

@69TommyDe The UK?

@BlueVeins Nah. It's Argentina cause I have family from my mom's side over there

@69TommyDe Sure, no Nazis there.

@BlueVeins Yep
