Let's not forget brexit. Americans aren't alone in their dumbassarry
Or the recent wins of fascist parties in Europe.
I fear the outcome of the three "state" elections in Eastern Germany later this year.
Literally facist? I know about a few right wing ones, but none of them seem actually facist
Musolini's grand daughter sends her regards:

I stand corrected! Didnt know they are self-proclaimed fashists... Thats a bold marketing campaign and terrifing that she got the seats she did.
Although the policies she supports are not really Musollini-like.
Giorgia Meloni is Italy's current prime minister and also happens to be a proud founding member of the Neo-Facist party, and is the granddaughter of Benito Mussolini.
The fascist parties that want to stop immigrants on the borders? Remind me who was the previous president in US and who's controlling the house now...
Initial comment about dumbassery not in the USA.
Reply back about additional dumbassery not in America.
You: bUt WhAt AbOuT aMeRiCa?
I'm just saying that the "fascist" parties in Europe are no more "fascist" than American right wing parties. People support right-wing parties for different reasons. Calling it dumbassery is weird.
Why so sensitive?
Do i need to make a nesting meme in this thread to show you mooks that you're literally doing the meme right now?
Stopping immigrants at the border would actually be a horrendous policy and have devastating economic effects. Literally advocating for a terrible US policy that could be seen as inhumane and unethical.
Who's advocating for it?
"I'm not saying we actually do it it's the implication that we will do it"
Who's saying that? Who's we? I think you're confusing mentioning something with endorsing it.
