When fascism came to America, it's figurehead sold his followers bibles and sneakers to pay off his legal debt.

All hail, facism.

Clearly spelling proficiency is not required. American Fascism is already here.

Oh, it's been here for most of a century now! In Rachel Maddow's book 'Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism' she writes about how, if not for the invasion of Poland, the American fascists would have staged a coup.

Oh, it's the pronoun spelling that confuses them!

Defining it is beyond the realm of their possibilities

My fear is most Americans will not even notice.

They don't notice now.

America just elected it. Again.

Trump Family

Jebbuss Hey Zeus Man! Do. You. Sleep??

t..r..u..m..p

That’s for sure.

When it arrives incompetent, we have to call it flashism.

👍👍🏼👍🏾👍🏻👍🏽👍🏿

It's here and doesn't

America might know how to spell 'it.'

Ain’t that the truth!!

😄

And it sure doesn't

I’m an anti-facist! Tired of faces.

Some group isn’t sure what MAGA means either

Sure they will. "MAGA" is easy to spell, even for McNamara's morons.

It has arrived. youtube.com/live/PJSAcWt...

You mean fashizm?

Accurate.

Your work continues George...

Or understand what it is and what it means.

I’m embarrassed to say…I always screw it up and I teach history. What does this say about me? But I also can’t spell the word necessary no matter HOW many times I try (Apple just did that for me)

Haha I missed necessary in a second grade spelling bee and missed first place. I’ll never forget how it’s spelled

It might not know how to spell it, but it’s allready there. Trump.

I see what you did there.

It entered on July 20, 1945 when they activated "Operation Paperclip" which granted asylum and privileges to 1,600+ Nazi scientists, technicians, engineers. Some were even given a new identity. Then we put them in charge of the US's aviation/aerospace programs. Wernher Von Braun was one of them.

Fashizum

Wait until they come for their guns, fascists can't allow everyone to have guns... Only their side

That appears to be a significant factor that was not thought through. Assumed loyalty regardless of desperation level. If memory serves, the FBI was founded in response to the rise and severity of bank robberies during the Depression. Unbridled 2nd Amendment allows lots of “severity.”

They will allow armed milicias and take the rest from others

I had to check, I thought 'milicias' outed you as one of them.

No, I'm saying that kkk, and other gangs will be armed but others no

I said this type of thing a while back but many Dems assured me they are armed and ready (and also suppose that the American military will not go along with fascism. (I meant because of your spelling error. Militia)

trump knows these people by name. The established boot lickers keep their guns.

The determination of who is friend or foe militia will be a roll of the dice once the unknown government supports are taken from those militia members. And the “taking” requires a solid plan. Unless the populace is informed and humane like Australia.

When?

When it does it will likely by based on self projection. Targeting "fascists" is an excellent way to mask actual fascism. It would start by the inability and refusal to simply have a discussion.

It'll come with a cup of covfefe.

Funny after the response I just got to complaining about an obviously racist picture on Facebook. "Looks like you are racest to me" he said. Odd how racism and stupidity seem to go hand in hand? Maybe not.

Fashizm is already here.

Too late.

😆🙃😁

Too late it's already in your country. It's written in baked into the constitution. There is always been opening for dictatorial leaders. Your system allows it.

Don't know about that. Most Americans can spell T-R-U-M-P.

They sure as hell know how to DO it, unfortunately that’s what counts.

Okay, tbh it is hard to spell.

What do you mean 'when'? It's arrived!

M-A-G-A

"Amerika" is how we spell it: achtung, baby.

Thats phassscism its different than the hitler one your saying thats factism

Easy: M. A. G. A.

I'll point out they already can't spell 'Merica.

Not True, it's the US. They'll just make a new standard for the language. Again.

There are many out there that don't know, or worse, don't care what their grandparents fought against.

Very true. America is pretty dumb now.

Half of us aren’t! The other half are a mix of happily uneducated/defiantly & willfully stupid (badge of honor), mean people (bullies & abusers) and just plain stupid dinks. Sadly the stupid dinks are the only people we could possibly win over. 🤷‍♀️

Yep, it’s the dumbest cult.

Tis true. In all fairness though, it's not exactly the easiest word to spell.

Or understand it.

It's already here 😞

When?

Or really understand it....

Didn’t know how to spell “existential” either, so no surprise.

After 30 years of extreme right wing propaganda from the Republican Party, we're at a point where the lies are so embedded as truth, half the US population is unsaveble. That will cost the U.S. its democracy and put the world in its most dangerous position since WWII. MAGA is a pro fascist movement.

Please wake me up from this nightmare.

IKR

And the majority voted for it. Stop crying and tell me how to deal with the reality we face, not the fantasy where they have any shame. Or is it another installment of how dems bring kazoos to a knife fight and try to sell it as a odd form of success?

It wasn't a majority by any stretch. The Cheeto barely got by. There really needs to be an official recount.

Yeah. And the dems are doing what? Playing their kazzoos lick lingerie their wounds telling us all how this is some odd form of success

That's f'n great!

🏆

LMAO 🤣

George Takei has Stockholm Syndrome with the Democrat party. They put him in an interment camp and he fell in love with them. Sad.

And know how to fight back with every tool in the box.

You have my undying support.

Been here since 1492

fascism has arrived, you have copied the structure of past empires on a pyramidal scale and it is not only the fault of 1492 but it is the fault of the mirror effect that man has been making since it was decided to create nation states, city states

humans copied the mirror effect from the first empires and improved things to be more of an asshole as humans decided to be exclusive by creating empires the mirror effect did its part and I'm talking about pre-Roman societies since Rome and Greece were inspired by them and so on

This is so funny, and so so sad.

Biggly

Now we're getting to the basic problem. Thanks George! Without good sources of education and news, that can be trusted, democracy will have a difficult time surviving.

What do you mean when? It's already here @georgetakei.bsky.social

🤣

🏆

Fashisem? 😁

OMG! So true!

Fascism was institutionalized in America on July 1, 2024 by six SCOTUS justices in their majority ruling on The Orange Slug v United States. Our constitutionally guaranteed democratic republic was supplanted by serial autocracy. Our rights were supplanted by privileges. I do not consent to fascism.

It's already here and it definitely can't.

What do you mean ‘when’?

Sadly true

Hell, it's going to think it's name is Democracy ffs

Yyyeeesss...

They already don't know how to recognize it so that's a given.

Yeah, 6th grade reading skills and all.

My pet peeve is seeing spelling mistakes printed in training materials & marketing notices by corporations or regional /district managers. A friend’s company put up “safety awareness” flyers, but spelled it as “Safety Awarenes” with one “s” at the end. Drives them crazy at their company ignorance

It’s spelled MAGA

What about MAGA suggests to you they are left wing?

The trumpet will sound loud and the majority of the people will be raptured, they will include the majority of immigrants, people color, the the white peoples left behind can enjoy their whiteness when they all by themselves to cry themselves to death

Hint: It begins with a T.

Their hear lol See what I did there?

Siri is going to need combat pay. Lol

Chef’s 💋

I don’t think much of it can spell it now!

Fa-Fa-Fa Fa Fascism - We are the goon squad and we're coming to town, beep beep.

The devil doesn't advocate for grammar Nazis (Knock 'em out of the comments and out of our heads) People(?) should feel comfortable accepting/receiving further CLARITY of any confusion. I cast doubt on the things I can't be *certain* about, even if I KNOW I had a thought about it. (Politics, etc)

🤣😂

That's the truth.

It already doesn’t.

According to what I've read, Americans are so terrified of socialism that they're trying to drive us in the direction of fascism because they don't understand what either of those terms represent.

They're so afraid of socialism because they think it's fascism. So they blow everything up by their stupidity.

Maga =fascism

'When'? It has always been there, you actually trained other dictators on how to do it.

They've been struggling with your/you're for a long time already. Spelling is not going to be better than one's word choice competence.

Fascism HAS already arrived in America, hence this:

It's spelled MAGA

Good one George

It can barely spell “racism”…🙄

Sad yet true.

#BTSGlobalArmy #BTSArmy youtu.be/5_U9Ob3o6SU?...

Dickshunaire spelling: PHATSHITZ!!!

It arrived long ago.

Did it? No sarcasm intended but when?

Down a golden escalator en route to the golden toilet.

Yea, I don't think you understood my question. Care to try again?

Sure thing! You fail to grasp answers.

They were asking in regards to the system failing. Which was long b4 the escalator. 1 primary point of failure was changing our motto. It's convoluted what & how we're supposed to vote. Beliefs and State need to be separated.

Point taken. This frog failed to note the boiling pot before the escalator descended.

A lot of people have. If it wasn't trump it'd be someone else. This is nearly 100yrs in the making. I see it all though, & that's why I'm doing all that I can to stop this madness. We need to INVOKE our freedom from this system and redesign it.

When the American fascists were allowed to walk free and frequently rewarded is when fascism planted the seed. They blacklisted people who warned against Hitler before Pearl Harbor well into the 1970s.

Agreed. However in order for this to work we have to stick with 1 word so everyone understands what is happening. These ppl don't understand how we fought for our freedom from such things. Thus the word to use is "oppression", when engaging with foolish traitors.

It came along with us. The system we have now is oppressive. It's why we have symptoms of oppression, drugs, crime, everywhere. It wasn't beating the British that made us great. It was when we fought against oppression. Battling ourselves because we didn't recognize it in ourselves.

Not actually fascism. A very very broken democracy, yes. But not fascism. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definit... This argument bolstered the protest vote that helped us lose our broken democracy.

Sadly,it's probably why they called themselves MAGA so they wouldn't have to spell all the words

Or define it 🤦‍♀️ They can not recognise an authoritarian fascist dictator when when they see one.

Is that supposed to give us some comfort? Fascism is here to stay unless we forceable remove it like the cancer it is….

What do you mean "when"?

Biden's still president for a little over a month and a half.

Thats what I said

I can tell you the exact year fascism arrived in America. 1733. When the first colonizers arrived from Europe.

might want to double-check that England's first colony, Roanoke, was established in 1587 The Mayflower Compact of the Plymouth colony was signed in 1620

Apologies. Thank you for the correction. So 1587 would be the year. :)

that's when they started to take hold... but others had tried for along time prior

That's what I was basing it off. Not the first Europeans period but the first actual colonies. Which, again, thank you.

G ... O ... P.

You just did, lol

George, you’re so good sometimes it hurts! 😆

It’s just like what I read: Americans are so afraid of socialism that they’re pushing us towards fascism because they don’t know what either of those words mean.

AMERICA just voted OVERWHELMINGLY for FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY The Nazis lost

Fascism came to us waving a Bible and hugging the American flag... using fear to manipulate the masses and yelling words like socialism... most MAGA do not even know the meaning of these words they fear! If you tell someone a lie enough times, it becomes fact.

And that's a fact.

Socialism; they'd like it if they knew what it was. Communism; they might even like that, if it was explained to them... But no; they've been conflated, and decades of adding extra Ms to communism has left the spectre of COMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMUNISM!

A hundred years ago socialism was hugely popular in Americe. That's a fact that has been erased from history. Mainstream media and politics don't put so much effort into demonising socialism because it doesn't make sense and appeal to people when it is presented in an unbiased, undistorted form

This is the really unfortunate part. Many of these voters love the ACA but have no idea that this is a socialist policy. It’s so upsetting that the power hungry GOP know they are having their base vote against their best interest to hand them power.

Those extra Ms are actually the Green M&M. The fact that she is trans scared off all the Amerikkkan nitwits.

Yeap, the US is weirdly opposed to Democratic socialism, like it's going to cause the collapse of society. So scared of it you're on a fast train to fascism. The rest of Europe, Australia and New Zealand have some form of this as bog standard. i.e. Universal Healthcare.

Well, if you like your Social Security Medicare and Medicaid, you have to like socialism. And if you like your emergency services in your county and your state, you really should like socialism.

"You can't arrest me; I've subscribed to a different police network."

Socialism needs a new name. If the GOP promoted it with a new name, magas would be ecstatic. But of course the GOP would never promote anything for the common good.

The people replying to you are joking, but take a US newspaper and a European one and read the news on any topic or anything happening. US outlets always have one single point of view and will claim to be fair and balanced simply because they mention that people who disagree exist.

That’s what happens when you have an electorate that reads at a sixth grade level.

Cmon now. They can’t read. 😅

And they just voted for one that may possibly read at a sixth grade level if lucky and is a horrible human being.

Fascism arrived in America before the outbreak of World War 2.

They just know it's a bad word. Spelling it is the least of their concerns.

Spelled R U S S I A 😃

Sorry pal. It’s already there and it’s spelt “trumpism”

I’m a teacher and this is so true. I have 6 months before I retire and I’ll bet in 5 years a public school won’t be recognizable. Some political parties want an uneducated public and that’s where we’re heading.

"faceism is grate. Nobody ever had a better face than me"

Born into the KKK for sure!

Facism here with Drumpf

I spell it R. E. P. U. B. L...

Rhymes with Dump.

Sanctuary libraries.

I wonder why 🤣

Where’s that from? 🙂

I'm not sure. But it fits the bill and explains why he didn't want those documents released. Now, if they were classified, he probably would have had them stashed next to our nuclear secrets in his bathroom 🤣

It's a false document.

And you can prove this?

This went around a few years ago. I checked Snopes - so, if you believe them they disproved it. www.snopes.com/fact-check/d...

Their basic claim is that it's a fake story because the image is of someone else. That still doesn't prove his IQ is above 73, so I will assume the IQ information is correct, but that is not the image of the actual guy.

If his IQ has dropped in recent years, it would naturally be a byproduct of his dementia. You can see videos of him as a much younger man in his real estate heyday, and he was actually a pretty erudite speaker. Even as recently as The Apprentice, people said he easily kept track of numbers, etc.

Personally, I don't support information that is false in any way. Facts matter, even if they don't suit our narrative.

Just remember the democratic party lost the election because they believed the high road was the better route. How did that pan out 🤔

Spreading lies that are easily disprovable don't give the Dems an edge because their constituents aren't tunnel-visioned magas who will choose lies to appease their egos. It doesn't work the same for both parties. They needed to prosecute long before now.

Let's not believe lies. No matter how much we want them to be true. We have to be the ones who fight with facts www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

Sounds right to me - Trump in the closet

"There" a bunch of bullies that should be sent to "boarder" and "throne" out of "Murica"

I spell it- t r u m p

When fascism is inaugurated in America on Jan. 20, 2025, Americans will watch it devour itself, backstab itself, and eventually string itself upside down like Mussolini with Americans screaming over the damage done to democracy. Fascism defeats itself, always.

But how many do they kill before they start on themselves?

I can only wish you were right. That's why fascism needs the oligarchy. First, you buy votes. Then, you buy silence.

Oligarchs fear their own mortality more than most because oligarchs are paranoid cowards.

Private luxury atomic bomb shelters. Those five words should radicalize anyone.

Loot drops. When the balloon goes up, those places will be owned by their heads of security.

The crown always changes heads. Although the rabble usually tries to remove the head, it's not actually the head we're so mad at.

Nah. I'm fairly certain it's the heads. The job description almost guarantees sociopaths are the most likely occupants.

Hmmm. It never dies quietly. Their, literal, survival depends on it. I'd add we are in a time of psychological manipulation unlike the '22-'45 rise in Europe. Fascism is not a monolith. It will behave/look a bit different. We, sadly, are going to see how American fascism shapes the world.

A little light reading and reminder: www.britannica.com/topic/fascism

Didn’t Il Douche get torn to shreds, and had his head used as a soccer ball? Yeah the Italians were so happy to have those trains run on time

Where are you getting these crazy ideas? 🤔

As a German, I would disagree. It took 50.000.000 soldiers, 200.000 tanks, and 500.000 planes to stop fascism in europe alone. Without massive intervention, resistance, and determination, the system probably would have held on for a long time.

They can't even spell "athiest" correctly.

are u a theist or an atheist

This! I simply cannot stand uneducated people!!!!!!

Amerikkka though I know that’s not what you meant

😰 True, but… Don’t blame the public schools!

I fear many Americans will think it is something for sale at Walmart. Fascism $11.98

BOGO!

It only comes in white

With a special pointy hat.

and 2 👀

It'll look a lot like this. 😬

If you're lucky. If not...

I'm waiting for Trump to roll out our new flag. 🥴

Buy one get one free!!

Literally 😂

There would be complaints it was overpriced so they would have to put a tariff on it and make it $59.99 with Titler’s signature on it. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

It’s one of those funny words that looks different depending on who spells it. Like favorite vs favourite, but instead it’s Fascism and Trumpism

I keep thinking about the Ray Bradbury short story entitled 'the sound of thunder'..

T-R-U-M-P

😅😅😅

MAGA...

Living in Oklahoma I can assure you they won’t know how to spell it.

Besides being a great actor & activist you have a great sense of humor.

POW! Well done George!

100%. This is one of the reasons we lost. Guess what? MAGA does not know what fascism means & they have no interest in learning. Also MAGA didn't read Project 2025- nor will they ever.

Most of all they have no idea what communism is.

I'm Canadian and I read Project 2025. I have also studied history/taught history to my children. My young adult children read Project 2025. What other countries do and do not do affects us globally. I am concerned over here too, the far right reared its head during the pandemic. Awful business.

Thanks for caring. I try to tell people here in the US how interconnected we are all globally, but it’s like screaming into the void.

I'm so sorry. :( I wish more people would research who they follow. The blockade at the bridge between Detroit and Windsor along with the freedom convoy that occupied Ottawa was concerning to me based on some of the leadership.

Void is the key word

From one cat lady to another, I think there's a real issue with some Americans whose world starts and ends with how far they can see into the distance. The world *is* interconnected whether we all like it or not, and the fallout is being felt worldwide. I worry - a *lot* 🥺

Couldn’t have put it better, unfortunately.

And here they are again, trying to pretend our actions don’t cause an effect elsewhere…

Your Pierre Poilievre is a piece of work. I hope Canadians make the choice that Your meth head neighbors to the south could not… You know bc of inflation and rising prices on eggs and gas?

He is the only reason I hope for a further conservative government in Ontario. Historically Canadians will not let the Federal government match the Ontario government party. As much as I loathe Ford I am scared of a Canada led by Pee Pee. He's like evil incarnate. Way worse than tRump.

It's a strange system over here. In order to vote a leader out, vote for a party you don't want. Voting for the person you want locally because that is the one that is good for your area...well, it hurts the brain. lol

It's only Ontario that faces this dilemma, but I'm hopeful the East coast folk can see Pee Pee for the American Right wannabe he is.

Yes- that's why Trump is sending his Michigan Campaign Manager #PeteHoekstra to Canada as Ambassador- to try to spread MAGA all across your land & get the #KeystoneXL pipeline back up -because the NETHERLANDS & CHINA NEED OUR OIL EXPORTS.🙄

It's definitely concerning. If history is anything to go by what seems to happen here is that we are very good at overthrowing a government but no so good at forming one. The pendulum swings from right to left. I predict that the country will swing hard right when an election finally drops here.

Cinders, I was having this conversation just the other day and they said the very same as you. Jesus, I hope this isn’t the case for you. We will have to rely on Mexico, for North American sanity. Will be keeping an eye on this space! bsky.app/profile/nonb...

Yes, I agree with the black eye. I was apart of a community that thought if you did't vote conservative you were violating your faith. I left that community and have not looked back. They thought Trump was amazing. It was insane listening to the rhetoric. I kept wondering if they knew history.

When I describe fascism to them they love it. When I tell them I described “fascism” they say it isn’t and then proceed to tell me why it’s needed. Every time.

Sorry you have to interact with people like that.

But they'll still suffer the damage from the reality represented by those words they don't know, even if they think names can never hurt them.

You’re exactly right!

They are good at repeating like parrots. The right keeps calling the left communists and Marxists and can’t even use a few seconds to research and read. Well, understanding takes a bit longer. What won the right this election was misinformation & disinformation.

Done arrived, George, and it's been here for some time (at least the 1930s), just waiting for a new Fritz Kuhn, Charles Lindbergh or Henry Ford, . . . and the list goes on and on. 🙄 And, they still don't know how to spell it.

That's why they call him Trump

Yeah, but what about the Hunter Biden laptop. 🤣😂😂 Republicans are zombies, George! 🧟‍♂️🧟🧟‍♀️

Remember when the zombie apocalypse was just fiction?

Oh yeah, back when America was a democracy. Lol

Never thought I'd say this, but ahhh -the good old days

I hear you, but it had to be better than a Putin shadow government for sure. And there were no 🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

Indeed.

Good comparison 🤣

So true.☹️

Americans have never remotely conceived living in an authoritarian state. 👉IMO, few are ready - or prepared - for what’s coming.👈

🏆

WHEN IT ARRIVES? It’s already in full flow, mainly disguised as conservative Christianity America is currently involved in a genocide, it doesn’t get more fascist than that

It's infecting everything. Don't be fooled by Farage either.

Face-ism

* or how to use it to not bury him in the future! My real name is Leonard ( not Nimoy ). Logic says he will not "prosper in the future" !!!

He has people he pays to do it for him. Trump why didn't you write a book while you were in prison. You'll never be Hitler big now.

If civil war breaks out, just head to your local library. They'll never think to look for you there.

They will be looking for the lie-bary.

Made me laugh! Tx

No, it’s lye berry.

Lie-berry. Must get MAGA misspellings correct :D

In my defense, I did NOT spell it lie-bRary. 😆

Book burning is a fascist thing. MAGA will head to the libraries.

They’ll use the burning books instead of wood to stay warm. 🙄

And yet we’ve seen MaGaTs burning books

When

🤣🤣🤣🤣

When? You are an optimist.

My in-laws survived Fascism in Europe but at a terrible personal cost. I’m thankful they aren’t here to see this. No place on the planet is safe from this.

I'm with you. My mother survived the nazis. She died of Covid- thanks to the fascist in chief. She'd be horrified to see these rallies and swastikas in the street.

Where is this fascism you keep referring to, can you point it out?

Try reading transcripts of Trump’s speeches and interviews for the last 18 months. You could even expand your horizons and read some of the analysis from political scientists around the globe.

If you have so much truth pass something on, something we can actually see, something we can actually check🤔

Try asking a reference librarian to assist you. Have you ever listened to a Trump speech? Did you listen to the “poisoning our blood” speech? Good stuff…

Yes, I listened to what you call poisoning blood speech.. I also listen to the news clips. The snips and clips used we're meant to form your opinion. It worked, and it keeps working. I'm trying to help you see what they've been hiding. It's not personal.

The delusion and denial is deep in you.

Nothing left for you to do except run to the "block"

No need, folks such as yourself are always eventually hoisted by your own petard.

Maybe so but, at least I'm not buried by yours.

You can actually check Trumps speeches, can you read? That’s how you check it.

There are thousands of speeches.... You're the one making the claims. What's your claim and show me the speech. You can't because, you're working with sound bites from CNN. Do us a favor, get your seven name Starbuck drink and go back to the basement.

If you can’t do a simple reference search on your own you should go play somewhere else.

Am I supposed to search CNN news reports? 😳

They’ll just call it antifa because why not? 😩

👉Try Thuglican

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sugar, it arrived years ago. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️

I think it is here already. And they don't know how to spell it.

Well, trump is not to bright! I am sure there are lots of words he can not spell.

too🤣

They’ll just change all dictionaries to match their incorrect spelling.

9r ban dictionaries altogether

The cult of personality has infected us It's like living in an endless bad WWE match where people believe that the wrestlers are really their characters and not just dudes making lotsa money 😟

Perfect characterization.

It's not a characterization. It's literally how Sleazy Don rolls.

Sleazy Don is in the pro wrestling hall of fame. Pro wrestling is all about pathos.

“Fashism”
