I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.
The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Sources of knowledge, education, informed discourse, historical reference, and artistic beauty are a threat to these power-mad degenerates. After 248 years of aspiring to be something great, a minority of eligible voters chose to set this country on fire, and the conflagration will consume us all.
Keith E. Sonderling is the new acting head of The Institute of Museum and Library Services, the main source of federal funding for libraries and museums across the country. President Trump issued an executive order last week saying he aims to close the agency.

All military aid from the U.S. to Ukraine from 2014-2024 has cost the U.S. tax payer $19.94 per person per year.
In return they got to destroy Russia’s entire Soviet equipment inheritance and still complain it is a bad deal
