Hello,

I'm starting a politics community devoted to sorting through the mess of discordant incoherent discourse in the wake of the fascism.

Rather than report on the news as it happens, this is a discussion forum intended to provide a foundational grounding and trim some of the confusing elements from play more directly.

If you were upset that people were covering the overtly expansionist nature of Trump/Trumpism because you think he's just 'blustering,' this community is not for you.

Here's my starting position on the nature of the movement of the present rightwing in the United States. https://lemmy.world/post/24284267

Not every person who voted Trump is a fascist. The more people who are calling it what it is, the better.

Wow, you managed to lose me in the first 12 words even though I think I vehemently agree with your politics and your point.

But:

There is no reason to believe that Trump or the movement behind Trump will not turn on the ovens.

This is a sentence that's worth repeating. Cause most still haven't grasped what a fascist leader actually means.

I think you can do better than this empty posturing.
