Idk how to explain to people that the US isn't declining into fascism, it's been a fascist state since the moment it started with genocide and slavery.
People on this post keep insisting that it's not fascism because of lack of authoritarianism and not realizing that that's the fucking point.
There was a lack of authoritarianism for most people, most notably white people.
But what about the Native people who were forced into reservations that they weren't allowed to leave without permission? Who weren't allowed to speak their languages or sing their songs or dance their dances?
What about the black people who were forced into slavery and then into segregation? Who were separated from their families and weren't allowed to read or write?
What about the brown immigrants who were paid next to nothing for backbreaking work building a country that they weren't considered a part of? Who were forced to live in controlled housing where their every movement was monitored in case they tried to leave?
The US is and has always been a fascist state. Some people just have the privilege to ignore it.
