Right, from a 24-day old account making only right wing political comments, a comment that addresses exactly zero of the points made by the initial post.
And regarding ignoring fascism/authoritarianism, you need only look at the difference between fascist and democratic societies
In democratic societies, the three branches of govt are independent, and the branches of civil society, press, academy, religion, business, industry, finance, entertainment, sport, and non-profits are ALL independent.
In autocratic societies, the power of the government is abused to corrupt or coerce all three branches of govt and all segments of civil society to serve the will of the executive.
EVERY single move by the person occupying the President's chair and his party as been to reduce or undermine the independence of the other government branches and all segments of civil society. The party who claims to be about "free enterprise" and "free speech" is seizing ownership of corporations, directly interfering in individual hiring decisions, and even making govt threats to get COMEDIANS fired. Seizing ownership of corporations, even partially, is more typical of Communist governments than democracies.
See if you can find a single substantive exception since 20-Jan-2025 where this administration increased freedom of expression or freedom of economic action, especially when such expressions or actions were unfavorable to it.
