That's 50/50 true ;P And will maybe much more in the (near?) future.

Consider yourself lucky that you have no idea of what fascism is.

Because the UK and it’s colonies stood upto Hitler while america watched from the sidelines?

I agree that declaring 'this is fascism' doesn't persuade me to a viewpoint. I work in crisis handling, and it's never been a good idea to compare 'this is worse than that'. You could likely take any country and say 'this is a happy place' and you'd have someone else saying 'this other place is happier'. You can have 50 shades of gray and they're all -> gray. I'd rather not dismiss this claim because we can think of better examples.

I'd be open to hearing in what ways the US demonstrates fascism. Under the old [Presidential] administration I do remember the blind nationalism and racist overtones.

Wow - I’m admittedly a bit shocked to see such uneducated and ignorant takes being made here.

Please don't post unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN. We especially don't want nationalistic flamewar here.
