I've been accused of being overly optimistic, but I see the end of America's dabbling in fascism coming, somewhere in the not-so-distant future. Trump or no Trump.

We've always been fascist.

You're gonna make me explain. Fine. This current accelerated version includes American troops on American streets and nationalistic military parades. America's fascism was hidden to the average citizen. Now it's out in the open and flourishing. Because this 'version' is palatable to maga.

Uh we were built on slavery and still massively use legal slavery. We've always been fascist. You're right about white people being ignorant of that because they don't care.

I'm old. I'm aware of our history, more than most, as a history fan & daughter of an educator who insisted I learn facts. Many white people are ignorant because they were taught history from the colonizer's perspective instead of the indigenous peoples' who were flourishing before we showed up.

And yeah, there's many white people who still don't 'get it' and don't care. Of course.

Ok. It's not a "dabbling". We've always been that. You get that, right?

This is why I use that word: the outward and "don't give a fuck how it looks" 'version' we're getting now is public and outward-facing. Far more bold than ever before. That's what I mean by 'dabbling'. Give me a break here. I'm not the enemy.
