> I'm from Russia and out there we know what real fascism looks like, it isn't mean tweets or cutting government funding, it's direct oppression from speech, activism, etc.
Real fascism is no different than the current US Executive. The difference is the amount of power currently wielded.
> Here in the US and other western countries, a person can go their entire life without being exposed to what real fascism is and what real oppression is
The common case is that Americans don't recognize it because it's so incremental that the larger goals are a footnote in discussions around specific acts or outlive the constituents/promoters. This state of executive vs a compromised judicial has been in the works since before I was born.
