    I love how everybody throws around comparisons to fascism and Nazis these days. We could focus on the left or the right and easily create a list of all the things we’ve done that was similar to things Nazis did. It really isn’t hard to do…

    During World War II, Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation and internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans.

    Under the Democratic administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, the FBI’s Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) targeted various political groups, including civil rights activists, anti-war organizations, and socialist and communist groups.

    The Democratic administration of President Woodrow Wilson used the Espionage Act of 1917 to suppress dissent during World War I. The act was employed to prosecute individuals who criticized the war effort, including socialists, pacifists, and anarchists.

    Democrat Bill Clinton invoked executive privilege to withhold information in various investigations, including the Whitewater controversy and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

    Democratic President Barack Obama faced criticism for the use of drone strikes and the extensive use of executive orders.

    The Democratic administration of President Barack Obama faced criticism for its continuation and expansion of surveillance programs, such as the National Security Agency’s mass surveillance programs revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden.

    We could talk about how Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, continued and expanded the “War on Drugs” policies. Which disproportionately affected minority communities and led to mass incarceration, raising concerns about civil liberties and racial inequality…

    Good old “Drug War Joe”.

    We could discuss how countless groups of college libs attack people who they aren’t intelligent enough to have a conversation with. Or how the libs are trying to coerce speech through legislation with their fantasies concerning deadnaming and misgendering.

    Or you know, we could accept the facts that both sides are similarly as evil as the other. Instead of just pointing fingers and acting like children.

      So you have fascist Republicans on the far right

      And somewhat fascist democrats who are right of center

      Guess as a leftist I’m good then. Seems to me like we have a right wing problem. But even then, only one of the parties is pushing for genocide

      Bro Barack Obama didn’t try to ban books and make gay people illegal.

      How about you address the topic? Do you think gay people should be illegal?
