The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don't know if people understand that I'm not exaggerating. I legitimately can't tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don't know if people around me understand that that's not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it's perfectly safe. It's like watching people go to a store that's literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It's like people think if the fire department isn't reacting then it isn't happening

and my grandmother thinks it's funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

Yep. They just weren't as visible. The biggest thing is not their 'rise' it's rage-induced social media giving them a platform to broadcast to millions. Previously they were just on their little niche websites and before that they were making zines and pamphlets and you had to work to go find their materials.

I also agree with your read on the Democrats. They refuse to have any progressive or positive policy agenda that they enact and they keep losing out because the Republicans have very clear agenda and they aggressively enact it. Their messaging and voter outreach is atrocious and have a been a complete mess since Obama left office and even his second term was middling.

they've always had their platform, that is literally what fox news/the murdoch empire was created for
