Yeah, it's not really an advanced nation when just some dude can take over in trial by combat and almost everyone in power just... does what he says, regardless of the morality of it. Like sure, you can have the most advanced tech and all the money, but if you're one bad leader away from becoming fascist, you're not actually a good country. *looks at the camera in american*

That was so hilarious. "Oh. New guy killed the last one. Guess we are going to invade everyone now!"

So... every nation with a leader? Even if it's an elected leader, if you elect one bad dude then you're screwed.

This is why there have been attempts at making checks and balances - to protect against it. Doesn't work so well if the fascists line up their own in the courts and key positions before electing the fascist leader though.

Other countries, however, have managed to keep their balances. I'm so jealous of those countries where some elected official pulls a stunt half as offensive and illegal as some random republican and they get sacked and arrested immediately.

I'm so confused. Like, I agree that there are a lot of bad things happening in America but it hasn't turned into a fascist country? The fascist guys exist and they have too much power. But also they very much did actually try to take over the country, and it didn't work and they failed. Like maybe I'm being overly pedantic here but it feels like an important point.

We've tried parts of fascism at various points in our history, especially in the early 20th with the American Nazi party, the Japanese internment camps and, of course, the Red Scare. Some would argue we've been fascists for decades - not a traditional strong man fascism put a corporate fascism. I don't know if I agree, but by any definition we've been flirting with traditional fascism since 2016.

Florida and Texas already meet the textbook definition of a fascist state.

A failed fascist coup that doesn't deliver swift and definitive consequences is just practice for a successful one.
