Good synopsis smalltown, but unfortunately that's exactly the kind of government the MAGATS want. They believe that Trump as dictator heading a fascist regime will give them what THEY want. Germans in from the late twenties and into the thirties believed the same thing of Hitler, the rest is history. Typically, Republicans and especially MAGATS pay very little heed to history. If Trump gets in (God forbid) they will find out the hard way unfortunately, so will we all!

Like the serpents they are today, slithering in and out of hiding, doing damage and destruction along the way. While disguising themselves to be friendly they slither in and out of social media sites, churches, sports, education, and politics. Just remember these few things, they are dangerous, quick to bite, poisonous, and deadly to democracy. While claiming to be ON THE ROCK, they are really under the rock. When you uncover them they simply move to another church. In your circle of friends they appear harmless but in the end you will be struck. If you want a snake for a friend catch a rattler and turn it loose in your house. Now we see how dangerous they are to our country, if you know one, shun them and watch your step.

I see, you read it and are using the Marxist practice of accusing others of being what you are and doing what you do. Typical

Lo and behold, you have slithered from under your rock.

Small snakes are crawling

Nazi Germany: A Starting Point

In Nazi Germany, fascism manifested itself in an aggressive form of nationalism, anti-Semitism, and a totalitarian regime led by Adolf Hitler. The state-controlled almost every aspect of life, suppressing political opposition, and promoting a fervent belief in racial superiority. This historic example serves as a foundational understanding of classical fascism and sets the stage for our exploration into its modern iterations.

The Tea Party Movement: A Modern Resurgence?

Flash forward to the 21st century, and the emergence of the Tea Party movement within the Republican Party stirs debates and comparisons with fascist ideologies. The movement's emphasis on strong nationalism, disdain for certain governmental institutions, and often inflammatory rhetoric draws parallels with the authoritarian tendencies associated with fascism. Critics point to a focus on cultural purity and an aggressive opposition to perceived enemies of the nation, both hallmarks of historical fascism.

MAGA Republicans: An Evolution or Deviation?

The MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, championed by former President Donald Trump, has further fueled the fire of this discourse. Some argue that the MAGA movement represents a transformation or even intensification of the ideologies seen in the Tea Party. Similarities include a vigorous nationalism, rejection of traditional political norms, and sometimes an intolerance for dissenting voices. The convergence of populist appeal with authoritarian inclinations brings forth contentious comparisons to historical fascism.

What five republicans with a conscience, we can't have that. Even the wimpy yes man saw his true duty at the eleventh hour. Can't have people like that in the republican party, next thing you know we'll have more repub's putting their country above the party.

No Pence Mitty, Lez Chinnie and the Turtle have helped destroy the country along with your Marxist Democrats buddies
