A member of the Los Angeles Police Department has announced a major career change, saying they have been drafted into the IDF. This comes after the cop was seen on camera shooting Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi.

“They’re a natural,” said a representative for the IDF, “they’ll fit right in, as long as they stop using those rubber bullets.”

“Plus they even got the media to use a passive voice and not identifying who did it despite doing it on camera. They have the exact skills we look for in a soldier.”

The fascists don't want the public to know that LA is resisting. The fascist owned corporate media in the US won't show it but they can't control the foreign media so they take a page from the fascist playbook and just shoot non-fascist propagandist journalists.

Call a fascist a fascist. Trump is a fascist. The GOP is full of fascists.

I'm good w all that. But your post sounded extreme to the point of silly. Perhaps a 3 fascist post would achieve better balance? I'm unsure, as I try to limit my own work to just 2 fascists, and have little experience with managing more.

The fascists and their shills have tried for years to cheapen the words fascist and fascism by pretending that the words fascist and fascism were meaningless nasty names that the real bad guys threw at people they didn't like. The fact of the matter is that the words fascist and fascism have clear meanings that I was applying correctly to the rise of fascism in the United States and the fact that Trump is clearly a fascist and that Trumpist are clearly fascist boot lickers.

Well, that sounded more real. Truly angry. Less posing. Amazing work.

“They’ll only target bad people. I’m not bad people so I’ll surely be fine!” –dbtng while being dragged away jackboots

Oh my. That's a bit harsh. Do you feel better now?

Edit ... Jebus. You're acting like this in The_Onion comm? Why? Wow. At least I understand you now. This is edgelord crap, right. Way to go. You win all the points.
