@evan Hmmm... I didn't see the poll in time to vote, but it's pretty clear to me that what's going on is at least attempted fascism, if not incipient fascism. Have a look at Umberto Eco's list of core characteristics and tell me you can’t find an example of each one in the actions of the current US administration.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism
I've noticed this when reading news articles or listening to podcasts. They'll talk about someone announcing this or that, and then embed a Tweet. And I'm looking for the link to the thing in the Tweet, and there isn't any. The Tweet is the thing.
