No, its pretty easy to fathom. All you have to do is look at the rise and rhetoric of fascism from other countries, and look at the modern day Republican party, and the parallels are striking.

No, it's not. The "rise and rhetoric" of fascism in other countries is from a political mindset formed over the last 50-80 years or longer that is mostly shared by the general public. China is a country of fascism because those people have never known freedom...they are conditioned through generations of the idea of the "the state before the individual." Russia, Korea, Iran Vietnam...they're all the same...almost no one who is even alive in those countries remembers any time when they were "free." This is not something that just "rises up" over the course of a few years and certainly not because we elected a president you don't like. These places are how they are because fascism is conditioned into their people. They've never known real freedom and their connection to places that have it are blocked so they never know to rebel.

Compare this to the attitude in America and it's night and day and it's laughable you suggest that they're the same. You don't even understand how fascism started in these places and yet you're claiming that someone will flip a switch and it'll happen here?

This is the height of the lazy alarmism that the media and young people LOVE to toss out there. Heaven forbid we just accept that America is pretty great and we enjoy it...why the need to pretend that Americans are some poor victims? Of what?

Most major countries have a fascist-leaning party or two. The USA has the Republicans.

THe Republicans are not a fascist-leaning party and spare me this crap, please...how would you expect me to take your fascism comments seriously when you follow it up with this biased nonsense? Think for yourself and don't regurgitate the left's alarmism news back at me as facts.
