My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1
Here's an excellent solution - recommend listening to this plan that's been in the works for 16 years by a group of millionaires. "Tax the rich, pay the people, and spread the power. That is the mission of Patriotic Millionaires, an organization founded by Erica Payne."

Yup. It turns out massively destabilizing trade in and out of the country is bad for people importing to build factories in order to export stuff.
Also, they’ve pretty much killed CHIPS and Science, the largest domestic manufacturing bill in recent history.
Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.
They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
The past decade’s school reforms for firing educators mostly failed—because few had plans to grow or compensate a more effective labor supply with weaker job protections.
So why are some candidates now trying the same approach all over again?

U.S. labor historians, like Elizabeth Faue, have been writing about the significance of work being coded as male for many decades. And, even as service sector work has accelerated, the image of a “worker” in popular understandings remains white and male.

Trump’s $230 Million Heist Is Unconstitutional

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.
But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.
