✅ closed: gov’t., law, democracy (gerrymandering)
✅ suppressed free speech, ignored facts (“fake news!”, murdering an American journalist Kashoggi)
✅ “rule” by rich (taxpayer $ to billionaires)
✅ violence / weapon / military worship (federal military in cities)
✅ value $ over lives (Covid “liberation”)
✅ propoganda and lies in schools, media
✅ racism, religious discrimination (white supremacy)
✅ radicalism: any means justifies the end (ignore 150,000 Covid dead to “win” election)

Famous fascists:
Mussolini (Italy); Dollfuss (Austria) and Hitler (Germany); Trump (America)

those on the "other side" who oppose Antifa (BEWARE: Semantics approaching) this question:

If I am an Antifa--or anti-fascist--and you are ANTI- anti-fascist, does that make you PRO-fascist (or Profa)?

Naturally, Trump's followers (with their red dunce caps tightly screwed on) are just following dear leader blindly and know nothing about these terms.

They were feeling poorly about where life had taken them and this loud Yankee told them exactly who to blame. They would have followed a rainbow-colored skunk with horns if one had come along.

I think of the video that Alex watched in "A Clockwork Orange" and wonder what percentage of these Trumpanzees would not be repulsed by the content. We'll have to do the math this November.
