    Articles like these are the proof - Americans wouldn’t know fascism if it hit them in the face. And they need reminders that water is wet. After all that has happened and is going on, does anybody need to be told that the US is under serious threat from an exceptionally out-of-control domestic terrorism problem?

      Best not to lump us all in the same boat. I, an American, saw this fascist bullshit from the beginning and have voted accordingly against. But the stacked courts and the lack of judges and justices growing a backbone, and doing what is objectively right, will be our downfall.

      In time, the US will have a second civil war because of this. I just hope I’m long gone by then.

        Please don’t take it personally. That wasn’t meant to be a generalization. Honestly, I understand exactly what you mean - something extremely similar is going on around here. But realistically, the lack of either society to drop their egos and be honest about their futures is going to cause an unmitigated disaster, to put it mildly.

          No offense taken! I completely agree the US is screwed. I wouldn’t trade having my child for anything, but there are times I feel sad at how the country will be when my child is older.
