The rightwing media silo perpetuating fantasy is withstanding scrutiny scarily well, in light of Charlie Kirk's death, extrajudicial killings in the Gulf of America, and a reassessment of current events;
we are now in the post-Beer Hall Putsch phase and pre-Kristallnacht. Rage will be fomented.

Real Americans, whether they were truck drivers or equity firms heirs, used to and have always known what it meant to be a patriot. 20+ years of FoxNews and microtargeting on Social Media, and Trump has made our country into the image of our enemies.

- State controlled media with loyalist placed in positions of power.
- Massive waste of money on giant easily defeated battleships.
- Attacking democracy in Western nations while overtly/covertly supporting far-right parties.
It isn't Russia, it is the United States under the Trump Regime.

In an imperially idiotic move, the Trump Regime is building massive battleships for very corrupt reasons, much like those Putin Regime built in Russia and were so easily defeated by Ukrainian forces using full-spectrum warfare, not giant symbols of a kleptocracy.

I think the highest level fascist are absolutely conscious of the horrible acts they do or support, and while the dehumanizing and ignorant hatred come inherently in some, the greatest evil is the establishment elite that just allow it all to continue out of fear of losing their insane privilege.

In less than a year, the Trump Regime has destroyed the two things that made America great:
1. Its global trade.
2. Its strong strategic alliance with the democracies of Europe.
Who is benefitting the most from these? Russia and China

Not to be too conspiratorial, but this story would undoubtedly portray the Trump admin in a bad light (they sent innocent people to be tortured through a process the Supreme Court unanimously held lacked due process) and now CBS isn't airing it on time.

Conservatism in America is the biggest crock of shit imaginable. It’d be better described as a scam by the wealthiest to extract more value from the ever expanding working class.
It’s very upsetting seeing there was a path to a better and brighter future, stupid Americans chose dystopia.

Apparently it can always get worse. The full version of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, aptly named “NSC-1488” by the wags, calls for actively pulling Poland, Austria, Hungary and Italy from the #EU. And supporting far right.
