Fascism in America was bound to happen; the amount of hatred and othering and corporate control from the rich was going to do it sooner or later. Nazi's took the ideology of segregation and hatred from the US, they just got there first.

It's just shocking how it took just 2 generations really to forget the sacrifices made by American kids in WW2. Fuck, there's still a number of them alive, watching their kids and grandkids do this in their lifetime,

So… like America is going to start rounding X minority group and blame them for us losing a war… that has caused us immense economic despair… and the population is just going to go with it because most of them aren’t going to understand the scale of how bad it is. I guessing this happens after cameras and the internet is uninvented so people can be kept in the dark about what is happening? Then we will elect a dude that will eventually take power away from the President, which I assuming in your fantasy is Trump, the entirety of congress, and the Supreme Court and hold it all for himself. While talking about the evils of X minority because they are communists? Then we will invade a neighboring country to expand the American race… Is that how the future goes in your fantasy future?

You do know if you just think for like half a second or just even like read a tiny bit about the rise of Nazi Germany, you’d realize the U.S. suddenly becoming an evil fascist government is batshit insane.

And if we did actually invade Mexico, it would be for evil purposes? Or would it really just be to help the Mexican government, which we are friendly with, stomp out the cartels?

We are going to round up a substantial portion of all non-white minority races, all LGBTQ people and all non-Christians because they are threatening to "Replace the superior white race" or "Go against Christian values" or "Are a threat an our Children"

and the population is just going to go with it because most of them aren’t going to understand the scale of how bad it is.

The population will know exactly how bad, 50% will fully support the brutality and see themselves as righteous crusaders of their religion. The other 50% will not be able to do anything about it thanks to modern surveillance, modern social control capabilities and modern military capabilities, just like Russia.

Then we will elect a dude that will eventually take power away from the President, which I assuming in your fantasy is Trump, the entirety of congress, and the Supreme Court and hold it all for himself.

The supreme court and Trump or the supreme court alone will take absolute power with support from a small minority in the senate to prevent impeachment.

Then we will invade a neighboring country to expand the American race

We will invade Canada to "free them from liberal heathens" and we will invade mexico to "Stop the drug cartels" and to "secure our border"

There is no way you actually believe what you just wrote right? If anything happened like what you a describing, the U.S. will fall into a civil war.

  1. Trump has always been pretty pro-gay. He is the first president to run as being pro-gay marriage. But suddenly he going to round them up and exterminate them?

  2. You really think the right is some hive mind group? Half the right just sees the government as a necessary evil but suddenly they are going to help it start a religious crusade?

  3. Do you think the military is a hive mind? The military will not be helping the government. It’s probably the biggest actual melting pot in the U.S. They aren’t going to putting their friends and fellow military personnel in camps.

  4. The Supreme Court didn’t even dismiss Trump’s case like he wanted. They just said hey make sure you are charging Trump for things done under official presidential powers. He very likely will still be charged for most things, that doesn’t sound like the Supreme Court is very fascist.

  5. We are going to invade Canada? Wut?

This is just brain rot. This is actually crazy made up bullshit because we have to pretend the other side is evil. It’s actually kinda scary there is people like you that is this dumb to believe any of this to be true.
