I have 2 GOP parents, one that voted Trump originally and one that did not. Over the last 9 years, I have watched them both travel down the MAGA pipeline to become visibly fascist. The parents who taught me racism was wrong and to have empathy for others, have become openly hostile about immigrants, Muslims, and even parrot the Nazi “great replacement” theory.
Part and parcel with this, they refuse to have any discussions about the facts – like immigrants not stealing and eating people’s pets. They won’t hear it, they won’t even engage in the conversation…they just get angry and loud the second they hear anything that doesn’t fit into the Fox News narrative. Can you relate? How are you dealing with it in your relationships with your parents?
End stage capitalism.
Don’t think it will happen to your country? Neither did most of the people in the USA.
Most people in US probably didn’t think at all.
That is not true, I had a thought last week
Yup. 72 percent of the world’s population now live under authoritarian rule – the last time it was that bad was 1986. And the scary thing is that for the most part, people are voting away their rights, rather than the authoritarians rising to power through invasions and tanks.
