      Probably hundreds or thousands of times this image has been posted by supporters of the literal fascists picking apart the United States, mocking others for overreacting over the last months and years. The thing has happened, how do you think you have a point?

        How is the American government “fascist”?

        It gets posted thousands of times because it’s true. “Nazi” Is the default attack by the far left. Someone *doesn’t * want free speech abolished? Nazi!

          Here’s dozens of concrete examples of how Trump’s government is directly enacting fascist policies. I’m not sure if you’re trolling so I put in a very small amount of effort to locate these articles, there are hundreds online.

            The democrats did/do all of those things too. Installing “loyalists” to top jobs is what every admin does. Biden did it. Obama did it. Everyone does it.

            The media example is dumb. There are dozens of media, most highly critical of the trump, allowed in to the White House briefings etc. What 60 minutes did with that rambling Kamala interview deserves to have consequences, as they deliberately edited it to make her look better so as to not hurt her election chances.

            Also just FYI - the Nazis were a socialist party. They were left wing.

              No, the democrats do not install Biden loyalists - people who have loudly and publically repeatedly announced uncritical support of Biden. They do not hire staff that are without any formal education or without significant qualifying experience for important roles - whereas Trump does all of those things. To say they all do the same shows a very uncritical assessment of reality.

              The Nazi party believed firmly in social & familial heirarchy, oppressed the underclasses openly through targeted programs to eliminate trans, gay, Jewish and other minority groups, worked hand in glove with the factory owners and corporations to crush and outlaw unions, praised and supported the former Monarchy and Kaiser, and purged the communist party from the German political assembly through violence and incarcerations - and ultimately sent all communists, Marxists and labour leaders to death camps along with any other minorities they had decided to murder. So to insist they were left wing simply because their party name includes the word ‘socialist’ is naieve and ignorant to history.

              Check sources from actual historians and you will find the same conclusions and volumes of evidence.
              The only (in)famous people I know claiming the ‘Nazis were left-wing’ are the criminal liar Dinesh D’Souza, and all the usual right wing grifters Stephen Crowder, Prager ‘University’, Matt Walsh and so on - they are lying, as they do about most things. There are much better sources of news and information.
