Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Still seems like a poor excuse to attack, after we helped. I could see being angry about being abandoned, but attacking is a strong measure.
I see. Personally, I prefer the older, textbook understanding from back in the 20th century. That's fascism. What you describe would need another word.
So long as we maintain civilian control of governance, aren't erasing our domestic out-groups, aren't subjugating our individuals and removing the possibility of social mobility, etc, we're a distinct thing imo.
We do flirt with these things, for the record, but an actual fascist regime taking over in the US would be a terror the planet has never seen before. We'd win where Hitler failed, mainly because of the nukes, and a likely alliance with Russia.
> aren’t erasing our domestic out-groups, aren’t subjugating our individuals and removing the possibility of social mobility, etc, we’re a distinct thing imo.
mussolini never proposed these be part of fascism. only the primacy of the state.
>So long as we maintain civilian control of governance
we don't have that. the pentagon flat out lied to trump about carrying out his orders.
When?
And yeah, but he jumped on board once Hitler started. Until then he just suppressed democratic elements.

damn, looks like they won't tell the truth to congress, either:

Jan 6th was an actual coup attempt, however sloppy, and that Gen. Flynn is the brother of Trump's Nat Security Advisor. So, yeah, I'm sure there is a lot of shady shit that went down that day, many people still have not met consequences for it. Trump is even running again.
The Syria thing is new to me. I can't say I disagree though, I was always upset that we bailed on the Kurds after all the work we did together. Not just aid like with the Mujahideen, but fighting side by side with them. We saved the Yazidis together. That guy is lucky he's retired though, that's not acceptable behavior. He would have been punished for it if he wasn't already out.
>>aren’t subjugating our individuals and removing the possibility of social mobility,
this absolutely happened under biden's crime bill and patriot act, and now he's in the presidency.
