    We’re doing fascism but it’s being driven by mostly incompetent shitkids. I guess we should thank our lucky stars they are so incompetent because what happened in germany showed what competent types can do, and that’s not really ‘catching on’ here in parallel to 1935 deutschland. The US is also a country with a longer history of open free discourse than the brief freedoms germans had between the wars.

    And finally, although the economy is wretched, we aren’t to the bread-lines and other horrors the depression brought.

    We may get there though at this rate. And don’t get it twisted, they aren’t all incompetent fascists, just notably a bunch of incompetent moves. We aren’t out of the woods yet entirely.
