fierce debates continue over whether the moment has arrived for serious comparisons with fascist regimes.
Ah yes, fierce debates akin to such classics as “is the sky blue?”, “do bears shit in the woods?”, or “does the pope wear a funny hat?”
E: jokes aside, this is actually a pretty insightful article. Im just tired of the mollycoddling
Seriously.
we now live in Nazis America. And everyone whose like 'no we're not'... yes. we are, and I will tell you I told you so to the die I die.
Trevor Noah had a good bit on the Daily Show during Trump's first tenure, about how much he reminds him of African dictators. I can't find it right now on YT, might not be available in my country, but it's worth a watch of you can find it, for the tragically fitting observations.
Trump, in my opinion, looked at the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence and then did them.
Transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses
Obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither
Erecting a multitude of New Offices, and sending hither swarms of Officers to harass our people
Keeping among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures
Attempting to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
Cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world
Depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury
Exciting domestic insurrections amongst us
That shit reads like the daily frontpage for months now.
Hard to imagine Trump would take inspiration from any Black person. It might male more sense to look at who those African dictators got their inspiration from.
