“How Far Down the Road Towards Fascism Has America Gone?” by Thom Hartmann

@ASoulAFire @JaniceOCG @Thom_Hartmann offers a list of some of the key events of the last 40 or so years that have chipped away at American democracy, in this post, and asks:  “How Far Down the Road Towards Fascism Has America Gone?”  Join Thursdays, 8 pm ET, from 1/13/22, “If America Fails?:  The Coming Tyranny.”

“We are close to either a collapse or a renewal of democracy: which way will America go?”

“We are close to either a collapse or a renewal of democracy: which way will America go?”

“While there’s apparently ‘nothing to see here’ when it comes to conservative media outlets and even, in many ways, mainstream media, it’s worth asking the question: ‘How far down the road toward authoritarian oligarchy, or even outright fascism, have we gone?’… We are close to either a collapse or a renewal, and increasingly the bets are going for collapse as two Democratic senators preserve the filibuster and, through it, the Republican Party’s control over our electoral and legislative processes…even though Republicans in the Senate represent 41 million fewer Americans than do the Democrats who are theoretically in power…

“As Tom Hayden reminded an earlier generation, if ever there was a time for us to jump into political involvement with everything we have, this is it.  The rightwing billionaires and their shills are already all-in:  now it’s up to genuinely patriotic Americans to save this nation from the traitors within.”  — Thom Hartmann
