Trump hires white nationalists to work in the White House, he calls neo-nazis very fine people, he is a hatemonger, he vilifies migrants and other minorities and has done so since before he entered the white house. He is loved by white supremacists everywhere. He quite shamelessly stokes fear and puts forward that these views of hatred towards other demonstrate that he is in fact the true democrat. Sigh.
There is evidence of a potential slide into full blown fascism, not just in the USA, after all we are witness to a new rise in 'strongmen' of illiberal states using lies and propaganda to stay in power across the world.
How far will Trump take it though? We know that fascism is a form of exclusive identity politics and any fascistic state has to have a military dimension. All that goose stepping is very important to the fascist dictator. Would the actual military side with Trump in a descent into totalitarianism? I cant see it. However, do they need to? does Trump have an armed militia in his base that would support any scramble away from democracy?
As history has shown, a takeover by fascists of the state never works. It may be messy and violent but ultimately it ends in failure. Trumps administration would do well to heed the messages of history.
This analogy never gets old

This theme has been kicking around a while but it bears repeating...It is not wrong.
This Is A White Supremacist Wave Of Terror
Indeed. The juxtaposition between rhetoric and action within these terror groupings has never been clearer!
GET THEM OUT
A racist little shit shot up a lot of innocent victims cause they were brown
A president who through his rhetoric and actions explicitly encouraged these violent actions talks thoughts and prayers and is no doubt, behind closed doors, reasonably satisfied that the next stage of his race war has started, and it will help keep him the white house in 2020.
The right-wing populism that is currently infesting (see what I did there) the UK & the US not only imperils lives and livelihoods; it is literally killing people. This far right bollocks are threatening our nations understanding of what democracy is. We must vanquish this new normal. To defeat this real and present danger liberals/progressives of all colours must unite.
We MUST be consolidated as a collective around the one uncomplicated principle of GET THEM OUT.
Today marks the 1000th day since the 2016 election. Enough now.
Some need to go to jail, the rest need to scuttle back to the dark corners of their blighted feeble landscapes where any normal person would never go. They need to be banished, driven away, expelled sent back to the 1930s from whence they came and leave the rest of us to progress
Just sayin

...by definition a fascist state
While at the same time refusing to label fascist terrorists as actual freaking terrorists... could it be any starker than this?

Succinct and to the point. A toxic brew of conservative nasty creates terror and hate - what happened yesterday was the inevitable result of this.
One mass shooting and we regulated guns to the extent that we have only had one mass shooting since.
The Dunblane school massacre took place at Dunblane Primary School near Stirling, Scotland, on 13 March 1996, when Thomas Hamilton shot 16 children. Immediately, the government put very strict gun control laws in place, you can still own guns for sport and hunting, however they are strictly monitored and you have regular visits from the police to ensure you are meeting regulations.
El Paso today a 4 month baby lost their life alongside at least 16 others, cause incel, cause angry white man, cause 2nd amendment...
It is fucking ludicrous. But hey at least as he was white he got taken alive...
RIP Tiny Baby. RIP the rest of the victims
At what point is enough enough?
