I know this will cause severe backlash from some, and I know this "isn't the place," but I feel an obligation to say this using my small platform. Please read this post. Please share this post. We all just want what is best for the country, its people, and the world, and we are headed down an extremely dark path. All you have to do is look at the history books and you will see the same story time and time again. This post isn't an attack on anyone, just trying to share what seems to be very clearly happening and hopefully making some people stop and think a little more. An appeal to reason.

This is a sign at the Holocaust Museum, the vast majority of these are blatantly happening in the wide open right now:

EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF FASCISM:

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
- Yes, don't feel like I need to explain more, this one is obvious. America First above ALL else is essentially the whole platform at this point

Disdain for Human Rights
- ICE seemingly has no laws they have to follow, rounding up whoever they feel like, using drones to blow up suspected drug boats in international waters, all of this without due process or proof, while bragging about it on social media and posting videos of human beings chained up, or being blown up

Identification of Enemies as a Unifying Cause
- Again, don't have to say much here, clearly: immigrants, and democrats are The Enemy. Stated ALL the time

Supremacy of the Military
- $300 million military parade on his birthday/anniversary, posturing and talking about how powerful we are as a nation and how everyone owes us everything

Rampant Sexism
- I will let women speak to this one

Controlled Mass Media
- They are working on this one, hard. Years of calling some stations fake news while glorifying others, using pressure to get people fired, removing many critical news outlets from WH Press room and replacing with blatant extreme outlets that are the opposite of critical

Obsession with National Security
- Build the wall, get immigrants out, GOLDEN DOME, sending national guard to cities

Religion and Government intertwined
- In the open, actively trying to intertwine the two as much as possible, weaponizing religion for their gain

Corporate Power Protected
- Cutting tax on huge corps, removing environmental regulations to increase profits, removing many consumer protections

Labor Power Suppressed
- Overtime threshold set at $35500 by Trump, Biden tried to raise to +35% in July of '24, with a planned raise to +75% Jan 1 '25, blocked by Texas judge in Nov '24, so we still have the very low overtime threshold, also shrunk union funding and legal power in 2018. No tax on tips is cool, I guess, but not sure why people who are tipped deserve to pay less tax for their work than anyone else, and general tax burden on lower class, which is many times who hold these service jobs, had some changes that could make other taxes go up (esp if you have kids). It feels like no tax on tips was a distraction technique, while giving HUGE tax cuts to the rich and corporations

Disdain for Intellectuals and The Arts
- This one really, really bothers me. "Smart people don't like me," dismantling the department of education, attacking all higher education constantly, even world famous places that are a HUGE part of what has made America so successful, so great, like Harvard. It makes absolutely zero sense. Education is so important

Obsession with Crime & Punishment
- Don't need to say much here. Alligator Alcatraz, mass deportations with seemingly zero laws they have to follow, sending the national guard to cities

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
- Stacked the entire government with loyalists and friends, trump cypto, melania crypto, trump bible, trump cards, free boeing jet, it is just literally in the wide open. Oh, and EPSTEIN???? Biggest corruption scandal in the history of the presidency, vote to release Epstein files hit the Senate two weeks ago. All 47 dems voted to fully release the Epstein files. 49 of 51 republicans voted against the release. It did not pass, Epstein files not released. No one, literally no one on the planet, has any valid justification to not release these files. Ask yourself, why would ANYONE vote against the release? Every single one of them should lose their job.

Fraudulent Elections
- Have claimed for years our elections are rigged when every single credible study and report has found that they are not, claimed election was stolen which caused a group to literally break into the Capitol and try to overthrow the government, and then FULL PARDONED ALL OF THEM when he got re-elected. All of this is to make people doubt the validity of our election process so they can "step in to fix" and in the process do whatever they want.

- Asking, and successfully having, Texas gerrymander to get more seats in the House come midterms (YES, dem states are gerrymandered too, BUT in 2019 the House tabled a bill to federally ban gerrymandering. 220 Dems voted to pass, 209 Republicans voted against (that is all but 4 representatives accounted for).

This meant it passed the House, because of the dem majority at the time, but still had to get through Senate. It got to the Senate in 2021, where ALL 49 dems voted to pass, ALL 51 republicans voted no. So it did not pass, and gerrymandering remained fully legal. Again I see zero valid arguments for why gerrymandering should be legal.

It feels like many do not know these things are happening, or do not care... We need that to change, we need to be aware, we need to start caring. Which is why I am posting this on my silly video game stats website's Twitter account. If I can make one person stop and think a bit more, that is a success. I feel like I am painfully aware of everything going on, and I am obligated to share that while I have a chance.

Thanks for reading

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

The Tories are furious about the state of Britain today.

Just wait until they find out who's been in power for the last 13 years.

[Fred Sirieix @fredsirieix1]

They are very dangerous. They are against everyone who is not like them. Anyone who does not think like them. The mask is off and they are now showing themselves for who they really are.
