MODERATORS
The US is nowhere close to being a Nazi dictatorship.
The US is currently closer than ever before. Time will tell how far that is.
Segregation, slavery, and Manifest Destiny? When it was a literal patriarchy on top of all three?
First time in living memory perhaps.
There are whole sections of the story that show American suburbia as it would have been known in the 1960s, except with Nazis. Churches are repurposed to worship the state rather than a god, but are otherwise unchanged in their layout or services. When the Nazis took over, they found plenty of people willing, even eager, to collaborate.
The whole point is that America was never that far from fascism to begin with.
Maybe im really in a bubble and reading the wrong articles, but im seeing nazi salutes to the flag, and companies are allowed to fire non-whites.
Please correct me if im wrong
The first thing the Nazis did after getting dictatorial powers (Ermächtigungsgesetz) was arrest every social democrat and other leftist and put them in camps.
Nothing of the sort is happening in the USA. Trump doesn’t have dictator powers for starters and won’t get them.
The courts are still around and will have a say on that.
Trump‘s US is bad, but far from Nazi Germany. Trump‘s US is extremely unlikely to even return to being as racist as the US was in the 1930-490s.
