How the fuck have we gotten to the point where pretty much any group with Liberty, Patriot, Freedom, etc in the name is straight-up fascist?

Furthermore, how the fuck can these groups claim to be pro-freedom while banning books, abortions, trans people, etc?

WE. ARE. FUCKED.

Also anything like “Americans for _” is probably an astroturf group of a few rich fucks

They've always done that: the Nazis were not the least bit socialist. Just pull words that poll well and make it up from there.

Please support the Christian Peace Freedom Society! Send money and impressionable youths.

There actually were social wings in the NSDAP before the 1930s, but they have been eradicated and only the name remained.

I mean, we did lean pretty heavily into jingoism, nationalism and anti-intellectualism for, like, the last 70-80y. As a consequence we've trained several generations of people to respect symbols more than the ideas that define our country. So uh, yeah, this is pretty much the expected outcome.
