@DineshDSouza First, let's say that Tyler *was* a student at a University (he isn't. But, let's go with your lie). There's no "radical" in wanting to extinguish Fascism in the USA. There is "radical" in the use of a gun to do so. That comes from "right" gun radicalization, not "left" anything.
@World_aib The only thing keeping me from agreeing 100% is that he's only President by title. He's an inept megalomaniac who should not infest the Oval Office.
@MarkCCrowley Couldn't disagree more. Trust people with something meaningful to do, something that they know matters and for which recognition comes, and that enhances -- in tangible ways -- the sense of well-being. THAT is what this generation and generations to come want from leaders.
This inept President is a disaster. Americans are now facing hardships not seen since 1900s when we learned and how fail-prone tariffs are. The cost of filling a refrigerator has increased more than 33%. A third of Americans skip or ration medical care to afford basic utilities.
Expect Trump to try to time US engagement in a ground war in Europe over Ukraine-Russia to try to invoke war powers to remain in power his lawful term.
@Notwokenow Absolutely. I'm, personally, TERRIFIED of the god you created. It's not the God of Christianity--that's abundantly clear. It's your own self-created god that weaponizes the faith of good, faithful, people and turns them into bigots, haters, and demonstrably non-Christlike people.
@AnthoNYUPoly@gmiller Look at the major tenets of Fascism: Ultranationalism (America First), Authoritarianism (fealty to Trump), Militarism (Dept of War), Social Cleansing (Deportations), Economic Control (Tariffs & Fed) & National Renewal (MAGA), we're already there. It's a Patriot's duty to resist.

@risaicarus@gmiller Hi Risa. "Media" isn't the issue. Critical thinking is. We're living in a Fascist state right now. All the major tenets of Fascism are in place. This isn't a misinterpretation of a normal political climate, it's a requirement that we see things for what they are.
@AnthoNYUPoly@gmiller The "far right" has little to no resemblance to the modern concept of "conservative" or "libertarian". It, instead, takes core concepts often espoused by conservatives and applies "ultra-notional" ideologies to achieve extreme control, creating its own ideology.
@AnthoNYUPoly@gmiller Wrong. Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist ideology defined by a dictatorial leader, centralized control, militarism, and the suppression of opposition. It emphasizes the nation or race above individual and is characterized by economic and social control.
@AnthoNYUPoly@gmiller Yes.. For Europe socialism was the anti-communism. It was a different age and different social context in that Europe. And there was no cathartic purge, it was incremental process that began with social acceptance then kicked into ultra-right-wing Fascism.

@PerryALPHA There's no Christianity in this nation. It's lower-case christianity, a theocratic movement grasping for power by abusing the name of Christ. Jesus tells the wealthy man to sell his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor to achieve salvation (Mark 10:21). Not happeing.
@JamesTate121 Mussolini recognized the immense power of the Catholic Church in Italy and used it to strengthen his regime. It was a strategic, and sometimes tense, alliance based on mutual benefits for both the Fascist state and the Vatican. -- Sound familiar?
