It's a fascist coup, and they're tidying up the loose ends.

[flagged]

Fascism is the world's most evil people lying to the world's most stupid people about what fascism is.

Huh? Can you expand on that? Is fascism completely devoid of meaning then?

We're not supposed to get political here, but my comment was more observation rather than accusation.

As for communism -- if you think the Dems are communists I recommend you research what communism really means.

Disclaimer: I'm non-partisan and abhor partisan politics, but I do think the Constitution is a worthy document to try to adhere to as best possible.

No, it’s a reaction to capitalism failing. It’s capitalism eating itself.

		It's beyond that. There's a strong element of White Nationalism and Christo-Fascism at play as well. The proponents make their intentions very clear, albeit without the self-labeling as such.

		> It’s capitalism eating itself. I thought that was kind of a definition, or at least broad explanation, of fascism.

		"Both" were true "classically" in early 20th century Europe in the sense that capitalism being in crisis drove the rise of the communist movement. And then the fascist movement (and other strongly reactionary movements) rose in reaction / fear of that. Today's pseudo-fascism in the form of Trumpism is something else. More of a reaction to a) climate crisis and the potential/growing crisis in the energy sector and b) and identity politics/culture-wars stuff.
