Far right movements spread around the world in the early 20th century. Americans have flirted with fascist ideology on and off, especially in the early 20th century--then in reaction to a strong progressive streak that dominated American culture. The opposition to democracy, nationalism, anti-immigrant demagoguery, the reliance on lies and propaganda, and authoritarianism are its most persistent features.
The conservative base in America has always had far right components to it, yet they were never able to dominate the US completely, not even in the 1930s before WW2. They were essentially fringe ideas for much of the period since WW2 to the point where they were basically ignored. For most of the past century, any far-right insurgency was almost always contained by the center-right element of the party. But not this time.
Once again we are witnesses to a rise of fascist far-right parties taking over in much of the world. Even though it was clearly the governing ideology of Trump himself, there were significant hurdles from the centrists that stopped his agenda. But those roadblocks were either systematically dismantled or eliminated through excommunication from the party. The near-absolute cover they gave him for his criminality, for his impeachable offenses, and for "the Big Lie" were signs that the party was weakening.
Now, the fascist wing has captured the Republican Party thoroughly. There is no accountability for the far-right members of the party, only those who might question their lies. The center-right Republican Party is now officially dead. It is just the fascists who are left.
God help us all.
Wrong.
The closest thing we have to fascism in the US is ANTIFA.
No. The closest thing to fascism is your beloved CIA. Actually they are fascists.
You know nothing of them and they are not fascists they are a bureaucracy and you knpow nothing about them.
I know they’re lying murderers. Killed untold numbers of people including a president. I know your grandpa Dulles is a crook and a traitor who should have been hung.
You do not know that.
You know I have proven you wrong time and time again and I have proven you are an uneducated fool total douchebag.
Oh brother. I've kicked your dumb CIA ass for 11 years now. You think the Warren Commission report is accurate...LMFAO. No one with a brain believes that, expect for Allen Dulles' grandbaby...YOU.
You know you are lyng little boy.
Every one especially you KNOWS I have consistently OWNED your worthless ass and proven you are a stupid little liar.
The WCR was correct and you have never chalenged that fact with any evidence.
TYoi are so fucling ignorand and stupid and childish you never read it and have no idea what it says
You are always my *****
Where are you referencing the topic at hand Nazi???? Other than insulting posters who have posted actual facts supported by links to the topic at hand, what have you done other than try to shut down the opposing view.
Where is your contention that fascism hasn't come to America? You do know that "anti-fa", is short for "anti-fascism" do you not? How can an organization whose sole purpose is to oppose the forces of fascism, be "fascist"?
The Trump Cult keeps trying to suck and blow at the same time. And failing miserably at it.
Excuse me but that idiot went off topic and I corrected him with facts.
I do not need links to support my position because it is a negative.,
There are no significant fascists in this nation and no one can identify any. It is up to the fool who posted the op to prove that there are fascists here andno evidence hasd been forth coming. The poster of the OP simply repeated the same tired cliche that Trump was a fascist which was always a simple lie.
You also need to sharpen your reading comprehension skills before playing moderator. I never said ANTIFA was fascist.
I said they are closer to it than anyone elser in the US and that IS fact which I specifically backed up.
For your general education just because a person or organization claims to be something does not mean that they are that thing.
ANTIFA is a communist organization which hates and despises the first amendment and attempts to VIOLENTLY shut down freedom of speech which makes them closer to fascist than anyone else and there claim to be antifascist ios siply a deception.
I
