> The alarm bells of fascism are ringing loudly, are the American people listening?

When people feel that their security is threatened, they welcome fascism with open arms.

Large numbers of Americans are going to cheer this on.

It sure seems like much of the nonsense sweeping the world is rooted in the technical design on the web.

The internet we have punishes educated, honest, kind, good actors. The internet we have rewards ignorant, dishonest, malevolent, connivers.

It's hard for the average person to reason about political issues when trolls and grifters and morons monopolize the public discourse.
