A select few have some serious issues with the truth.

You are assuming I am offended when I am bored. There is a massive difference. None of this offends me. It's tedious.

>'Fascist' has quickly become a catch-all term for someone you disagree with.

I'm literally describing a movement who's leaders are doing Hitler salutes on stage.

>can I ask you if you think everyone who doesn't believe Musk is a Nazi is a 'Nazi defender' and 'part of a fascist movement'?

Is one who defends Nazis a Nazi defender? Yes.

Is one who considers themselves part of an openly fascist movement, part of a fascist movement?
Of course!

Damn, it was so obvious! My eyes have been opened. Have a great day!

Giving a salute-- Nazi or not-- is not an very reliable indicator of political beliefs.

US is definitely heading in a fascist direction, but not because of the salutes.

here's a non US politics headline....brought to you by a religion of peace.

"70 Christians beheaded in African country by ISIS-aligned militants ; world mostly silent".

This is a headline today. Seems like 7th century retro.

silent because the world is mostly running scared from this issue

I feel that. My dad used to read Fox News, too.

I spent the whole morning watching CNN. My mind is turned to spackle from the ordeal. First headline I saw when I looked at Foxnews was this atrocity

They're both garbage sites. Fox is blatantly far-right, CNN is blatantly biased against Republicans.

If you want accurate news, the best options are AP, Reuters, and the WSJ.

hey @Paul123
I really do not understand on which side you are on! If you listen to MSNBC or ABC and compare their reporting and analyses with FOX NEWS or MAX NEWS, you should be able right away to distinguish truth from nonsense, journalism from propaganda and integrity from insanity!

Murdoch's FOX NEWS has pushed the lies and conspiracies since more than 20 years and at the end of the day enabled the whole MAGA thing.
That's what the people are frustrated about and the terrible outcome of the election in 2024! The LIES!

And after just 4 weeks of Trump's second term, the people already recognize, that T and Musk's policy of bulldozering
down the plains by tearing apart institutions, departments, Social Security, by mass firing of essential and reliable employees, destroying life supporting and national security areas, is hurting them! that this is not what they voted for!! (as well as they DID NOT VOTE FOR the billionaire MUSK!!)

Instaed of lowering the cost of living and securing the border,
he plays reckless games with the Palestinians/Gaza and Ukraine, embarrassing allies and triggering another world war.
And of course, he want's to be awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize again.

If you are not sure, what's going on, watch out the 50501 and listen to the farmers, what they have to tell about
the ending of USAID. Now the fallout rots in Houston, thousands of tons of yellow corn! Farmers losing income!
And don't forget to mention the more than crazy Tariff Policy. What's the big idea of this sweeping blow?

Just 4 weeks in office and the USA lies in rubbles and politicians in Congress live in fear and can't step up against this
tyrann. The people can observe that disaster and are left in agony.
And the world is in turmoil.

Since 70 years there has been no President, whose polls sunk within the first month in office that dramatically in every single task he has accomplished so far! And no other POTUS draw so many lawsuits at the courthouse.

"We did a phantastic job..", He would say.
