      No we’re not. The US right now, is WW2 era Germany as far as fascism goes. It will play out the same way, Trump will probably win or steal the election. And as an American, I’m so frustrated that not many other people recognize this. Still gonna vote… But man do I have an extremely bad feeling about this outcome.

        If you think that the US is like WW2 era Germany in terms of facism, I doubt you know enough about WW2 era Germany…

          Its a slope… Once you begin slipping, you kinda slip all the way. The US has been slipping for a looong time.

            Slippery slope is literally the name of the fallacy.
