While the far right wing fringe has existed all along, the actual descent into fascism started when fascism was endorsed by the President of the United States. If #trump had not managed to get elected in 2016, this meme about legos and fascism would not exist.

@BobC7000 @adam idk, the USA has been leaning towards fascism since literally always, at least as seen from the outside (disclaimer, I'm from Europe). The Obama era wasn't much less fascistic than the Bush era. Obama led the optimization on extrajudicial murders by drone (and attempts to hide the number of children killed by labeling them as "enemy combatants") for example. And the militarization and insane increase in funding of police departments is almost the same no matter if the mayor is republican or democrat.

As seen from the outside ey? I have spent my entire life traveling and living in various countries.

You're speaking utter nonsense. Interesting that you do the berniebro thing of blaming Obama for drone warfare.

lol. GFY troll.

@BobC7000 @adam as far as I know drone strikes have to be individually authorized by the president, and he did it more than 500 times killing around 4000 people, at least 800 of them civilians, so... yes?

@maho @adam

So Obama had a sort of personal hitlist? You make it sound like that. Lol.

Yes POTUS's sign off on military operations. Trolls like you are massaging the fiction that there is something different about drone strikes other than simply not risking a pilot while loitering over a target.
