Zelensky can dream about it but it won't be anything besides his dream.You've been screaming that Trump's a fascist since the election last November, what has he done since taking office last month that defines him as a fascist? Has he outlawed and/or taken control of the media yet? Does he have control of the newspapers? Has he begun mandatory military conscription yet?
I doubt it. In 2023 only 3 countries were over 5% Somehow I don't see it changing to great extent.
I'm more worried about him being fascist willing to fellate other fascists.
Seriously, going through the government's books and cutting spending on things that don't benefit this country's own citizens? The huge amounts of waste and corruption in our government are being exposed by Musk, and it's much worse than we could have thought it would be.
America first isn't just a phrase, it should be at the forefront of everything that our government does. If you hate this country of ours, why don't you just leave? Mexico or Canada are just a road trip away.
The following are the generally accepted features of fascism. Tell me which ones Trump doesn’t hit:
