Sounds like some social media companies are adding fact checks to Trump's lies, so this is an attempt at using the government to establish political censorship.  He ought to have lots of legal trouble with this one.

Except that large gatherings of any kind are as unsafe as if there were a secret police agency watching and recording everything, and people seem to disappear without a trace...  except that the danger is of a destructive, insidious, and highly-communicable virus... people would be protesting this. I would, even if we had a Stasi, KGB, or Mississippi Sovereignty Commission snooping around.

We need to take this President down in November, and before that we need to gut his authority in every way possible. I think of a slogan that fits this time well:

ABORT FASCISM NOW!

Yes, Donald Trump really is a fascist pig. He made the mistake of trying to purge the GOP before shutting down the Democrats, which is the one thing that he got completely wrong in his attempt to establish a dictatorship.

We already aborted fascism a long time ago. I hope you aren't dumb enough to go for it thinking it's socialism instead. I wouldn't put it passed you at this point.

KKK and Nazi fascists keep surfacing in America. Most of them are tiny cults with their own Fuehrers and Imperial Wizards...

I really hate describing the president as a fascist, but he fits too many fascist characteristics.

Yes indeed, and descriptions of the attitudes and characteristics of Mussolini and Hitler that I read about are quite comparable and similar to those of Trump as well as Bolsonaro and the other Trump clones. The comparison is quite apt. Fantasy world was indeed a part of the fascist ideology and modus operandi, although today's conservative fantasy world has its own unique aspects.
