I actually believe that this is one thing that Trump/Republicans saved us from. In the very first week of lockdowns I remember a few news stories of police really overstepping by pulling people over and demanding to know that they were doing outside. It didn't last long because the economy obviously comes first over lives. It could have really devolved into extreme facism.
If my grandmother had wheels she would be a bicycle.
If a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its ass when it hops.
I'm on lemmy for a while now and this is the most American centric comment I have seen so far. There are authoritarian governments that used the pandemic to do shit but all stopped sooner or later. And many governments, left or right or what ever, overreacted at the start.
The cops are fascists because they're also mostly Republicans. Trump is a fascist. You're saying the fascists saved us from extreme fascism? I'm confused lol
grasping the implication here is an extreme challenge. what are you suggesting? that individual cops were trying to go full-fascist and control the population by using the guise of a global pandemic to illegally stop and question citizens? if it wasn't the government currently in power, then who was trying to go full-fascist? what entity between the government and police was it? and why was this only an american symptom when the pandemic was global?
all that to say - this take is complete nonsense and clearly lacks the application of the most basic of critical thought.

ooh one news article for one incident reaaaaaaly proves your point that some unknown entity was trying to go full fascist and trump stopped them!
or did you watch one emotionally charged youtube video and then adopt this logically bankrupt theory ever since?
