    All I’m trying to say is that fascism is decidedly un-American

    Unfortunately that seems to be changing. It’s almost as if this country learned nothing 80 years ago

      Yeah I dunno about all that… Hitler famously got most of his ideas from America. He modeled a lot of Nazi Germany after Jim Crow, and all the eugenics stuff originated in the US and was big in the academic community prior to WW2.

      We even had a massive conspiracy by corporations to take down FDR and install a fascist dictator. George W. Bush’s grandfather was literally involved.

        I suppose you’re right that bringing nationality into it probably wasn’t the best idea.

        This is still unacceptable though
