"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"

No one really knows who originated that quote but it sure was prophetic.

Funny thing here in the good ole US of A is that both sides embrace forms of fascism. But the ones that scream fascist towards the other side are guilty of perpetrating fascism the most. One way thinking doesn't always work in the long term.
@dakotaviper unless you’re educated and then you wouldn’t make such an absurd statement

Fascism

Oxford
An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also Fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.
The name comes from Italian fascismo, from fascio ‘bundle, political group’, from Latin fascis

fascism - a political system headed by a dictator in which the government controls business and labor and opposition is not permitted

sounds more like left wing to me... after all, it's democrats that want more government and more government control (and attack anyone who disagrees)

Conservatives generally advocate less government, so it's a bit ironic when democrats call us fascists... 🤔
@wildbill83 The first step in a fascist movement is to attack and undermine all the institutions of government and democracy
Isn’t that what you’re doing?
The press
The courts
Poll watchers
Election officials
Doctors
Hospitals
Scientists
Generals
DOJ
Nato
FBI
CIA
Post office
Teachers
Disney
And the list goes on


You can only TRUST DEAR LEADER

FASCISM 101

@Ryderbike I've got a higher IQ than you do. Problem for you is that I also have common sense, the curse of a photographic memory, and also fall into the category of being very agnostic. Which means that I question everything. The majority of the Left and the Far Right never ever question their chosen messiahs.
@dakotaviper why would it be a problem for me that you’re a blowhard ?

@Ryderbike yep, you're following the fallacy of the looney left as always.
@dakotaviper I’m not left nor American.

But I am educated and recognize a fascist movement when I see one.
