When Fascism Comes to America

[Telstra]

The title of the thread should be "When fascism GOES to America." The use of "comes" is self-referential, but the OP isn't American.

At least Lafayette was in the U.S. when identifying with it.

Goes to America doesn't sound right.
It sounds as if some one goes to America to create Fascism which is NOT true.

Fascism is coming from within Amerika. It's supported by Russia, but the true fascists will be home grown.

That's a rather lame parallel.

The common theme, of course, is theocracy. Where religious dogma and political views merge to mandate social norms and the creation of laws to enforce them. The functions of Church and State become one. The flag draped across a crucifix, where politicial dissent is blasphemy and religious diversity is illegal. And the definitions of both are up to patriots like Ted Cruz and whichever leader of the Religious Right emerges predominant. Chrisitian theocracy and Moslem theocracy are really the same to their victims. The antithesis of freedom.

I was watching about US - china trade war and US military bases around the world
and thought, don't worry about other countries, the issues are the rotten fruits inside the country need to deal with first.

Presumably, it would be spreading from regions where it already holds sway.

No surprise coming from the man who when asked if he could have accepted the possibility of losing the election to Hillary Clinton ultimately said that he wouldn't after refusing to answer the question at first. He's so delusional about his place in history nothing would shock me anymore coming from his mouth, I always expect him to sink the bar for to the lowest common denominator.

The Red Hats are the new Brown Shirts.

It is not only America, here in Europe there has been a rise in fascism the last few years.

I do agree with rareboy, the red hats are indeed the new brown shirts.

The entire article was disturbing, but the last paragraph was the scariest. The man is looking for another civil war, this time with the Red Hats against the rest of the US.

Bottom line: The President of the United States is engaging in fascistic behavior. Or, if you'd rather, he's play around with fascism, trying it on seeing how it fits. And it's becoming clearer and clearer that he thinks it fits just fine.
