Seeing a lot of people (rightfully) pissed so I guess I figured I'd add some resources to be able to help with stuff (I'll add more if other people drop more):
People's budget is trying to get money away from pigs and into the community.

I don't totally buy the whole "when fascism comes to the US it will be holding a Bible and cross" thing. Personally I think American fascism, if and when it comes, is gonna go after the homeless and very poor. That's one group of people everyone in America is allowed to openly despise. Then they'll go after other marginalized and oppressed people, but they'll just use "means testing" or similar indirect tools.
That already happened and his name was Reagan.
The reference is a bit dated. Like, 80 years old now?
During the early Reagan Era and the height of Prosperity Gospel bullshit, it was believable.
Oh I still hear libs repeat it a lot. I just think it misunderstands evangelicals in the present day. IMO as someone who was deep into evangelical culture for 30 years, it's not their religion that drives their politics, it's that they tend to be massive racists, classists, bigots, etc and they launder their views through their religion. Not all evangelicals at all but a majority, I firmly believe.
Sure, sure. The New Atheist shitheads who do the Logic And Reason sociopathic dance are as prone to fascism as any American. And they're as eager to chant the refrain.
I'm just saying Sinclair Lewis can't be blamed for failing to predict this precise moment in history.
Oh for sure.
You just described now
True, I mean fascism is already here on some level
Never left
Always been here. How can you say a country that genocided it's native people and enslaved africans is not fascist?
american liberalism is woke fascism.
If?? It's been here for almost 250 years
Honestly, the bulk of real fascism in the US is clinical and secular. The kind of dead-eyed "imperialism with a pretty face" propaganda libs espouse, with no message or vision for the future except "we need to get rid of the bad people who do bad things." One perfect summation of American fascism is getting "cancelled" for "racism" online for criticizing Obama's drone strikes. It pretends to be woke and progressive but is really just a different coat of paint on the same Hellfire missile. The liberal idea that problems in society are essentially caused by certain people being mean to each other is a consequence of this kind of thinly disguised, meaningless and directionless fascism.
It started here and never left
