The United States is a Fascist State

Whether or not you're Democrat or Republican, Independent or non-voter who can't stand the political bullshit crammed up your ass every 2 to 4 years, you must at least acknowledge that the United States is not living up to its stated ideals in the Constitution or by the Founding Fathers.
You might say the US has never lived up to those ideals, and I agree, but clearly things have begun taking a downward spiral into a level of authoritarianism we haven't seen since the days of the Civil War.
Our current president, Donald Trump, is behaving like a dictator, a petty, cruel, vicious man who has no sense of justice, only an unfathomable greed that has no bottom. A man who would gladly have people imprisoned or murdered for offending him and daring to speak the truth when he lies.
He is aided by a willing media, a corporate state that bent the knee so fast many of us were put off balance, not that we didn't think they would, but how rapidly they did it.
Unfortunately, the Democrats don't seem to be up to the challenge. Some would say the Democrats are just as complicit as they choose to maintain ties with Republicans who have given themselves over to MAGA behavior than consider that moving further left and capturing the hope and energy leftists have to organize and push social justice back into the mainstream as a net positive rather than as something to tolerate.
It's good to protect trans people.
It's good to be against slavery.
It's good to be against deporting innocents.
It's good to be against modern day private prison practices.
It's good to give people housing.
It's good to give people food.
It's good to supply people with medicine and medical care even if they can't afford it.
These are good and popular things, and yet Democratic politicians, who often have the same corporate sponsors as the Republicans, keep trying to insist that no, these things are bad because of a mythical centrist Republican.
It's utter fucking nonsense. The US is complicit in a genocide in Gaza, it's bombing the Middle East, like it always has, with naked abandon and ambition. Previous presidents could be bad, domestically and in foreign policy, but Trump is taking it to a new level we haven't seen in recent generations.
The United States is a fascist state, and it will get worse the longer the people we need to stand up and push back decide that maybe kowtowing to the fascists might let them hold power longer. Right now, we have a congress of MAGA fascists and Vichy Democrats. Americans must face that truth.
