Fascism isn't about gassing Jews.
But our current crop of Fascists like to claim it is because they don't WANT to be known as Fascists (because of the bad images from WW2).
So, even though YOU can see the loss of individual rights as a slide from a Democracy to a Fascist state.....
They won't even acknowledge that those rights were ever "really" rights.
If they weren't "rights", then you didn't lose any rights when the government expanded its authority.
The USofA will NEVER be a Fascist state because:
#1. We will NEVER adopt German as our language.
#2. We will NEVER adopt the Nazi salute.
#3. Our leaders will NEVER wear that stupid mustache.
#4. We will NEVER gas Jews (unless they are convicted of 'terrorism' by a secret military tribunal and sentenced to death).
#5. Our troops do NOT goose-step when they march.
In other words, do NOT expect any rational discussion because the Fascists today can't think beyond the icons of the Nazis.
