Probably sick of these words too.

That’s a pretty sus thing to state.

They turned to him because he scapegoated an entire group of people and told them they were the reason for the nation’s ills. They voted for him to “make Germany great again”. Great again by getting rid of people they deemed undesirables.

Fascism rules against modernity, boasts traditionalism, and fear mongers an other as the enemy. And only 1 leader can get rid of them.

Hitler fabricated a threat. Bolshevism is to og Nazis what woke us to the alt-right. A boogieman.
Doesn't have to be one or the other if they both suck ass.

Eugenics, the "science" behind the Holocaust, had a long history in the United States before Germany took the ball and ran with it.

As for Fascism, you have managed to conflate nationalism with racist fascism and dictatorship, but nationalism, as it exists in the United States, is not so because it lacks an underlying socialist economic system and national bloodline (we're all MAGA mutts).

I'd say I agree a lot of these are overused. What is NOT overused is misinformation.

Your "alt" news sites? Made up. Lies. MIS information. Mainstream media is mainstream for a reason, and people who believe infowars and epoch times are, in general, not the brightest. Misinformation is the most polite term for that.

CNN/MSNBC on the left, OAN/Breitbart/Fox on the right, tend to slant and use loaded words. They are not really MISinformation, but they tell us how to feel about things-which is inappropriate and MIGHT be considered misinformation. On the other hand, NPR and BBC and AP and WSJ are pretty middle of the road.

I get that many cling to the idea that these people are just check boxes and not qualified, because how could they be...right? I understand sharing the top posts is hard to adjust to but there is not much you can do. It's not personal and has nothing to do with you being White. I'm White and I'm not afraid. It is attitude and an antiquated belief system that ensured the White man stayed on top and in power. Diversity is strength in nature. Look at the successful blue states that are racial mixtures compared to the segregated red states that are hardly hanging on by a string. I'm sure this will be deleted, and I'll be put in jail again (LOL) and if anyone responds, it will be to call me the equivalent of a race traitor or a communist/socialist/blahblahblah. Anyway, have a good night and do some deep self-reflection if you are open to it. Cheers.
I'm all for any color of skin and any member of any culture achieving anything they can work for and are qualified to get what I'm not for is to reward welfare parasites and give minorities Equity because they don't have the capability of achieving this on their own so we give them handouts to make them equal.

I'm all for legal immigration of the best and brightest on the planet Chinese have proven they can come here and be successful through hard work there's no oppression forcing these minorities to be violent drug-dealing welfare parasites this is is a case of Democrats perpetuating the victim complex and encouraging these groups to be angry instead of productive.

Plus a lot of these people in charge are inept, corrupt, and unqualified for their positions and I include many whites and Republicans in my description.

Saying White's controlled everything and because they did they should be punished for it when they literally invented 99% of everything the world takes for granted today is silly stop looking at skin color and start looking at qualifications. I'm all for equality I'm not for equity and putting equity in the phrase diversity equity and inclusion is basically a Marxist philosophy. I really don't care about white supremacy in fact I find a lot of whites to be out right obnoxious especially in Western culture there's a lot to be said for Eastern cultures - There's something to be said for Nordic cultures and their socially conservative ways also. I find Western cultures classical liberal anything goes Behavior to go too far in many cases at least for my personal liking.

Stop looking at skin color and start looking at Human Nature and you'll find the root of the problem. If you think the cultural marxists are going to help you I've got a bridge to sell you...

You can’t really blame them.

It’s how they stay in power, claim everyone is racist and sexist.

I don’t believe conservatives are perfect, but at least they don’t want kindergarteners having sex and switching their gender.

What do you think of a president touting "race horse theory"?

I agree.

But I’m not sure what you mean by “gender.” I’m guessing something about LBGTQA+? Because I never hear it regarding women. Like seriously never and I hear complaints about race and accusations of racism a lot.

The “misinformation” really is a problem from people confusing Fox News personalities w actual news though.

The day Trump’s associate said “we have alternative facts” on TV is gonna go down in history as a turning point for a lot of things. And not in a good way.
