    This is a tortured argument that I don’t think I can engage with. Fascism is a system of government that has nothing to do with how we treat people not in America.

    Which isn’t to condone or excuse any of it, but it’s not fascism.

      There’s some debate as to what is defined as fascist and what the term can be applied to.

      Regardless I think the US fits the wiki definition damn well. I actually meant to use the phrase “fascism is imperialism turned inwards” which I feel would have expressed my point better but I couldn’t remember it
