So, does this mean Trump is officially declaring the US a fascist state?

    He already did that a while ago. NSPM-7 is nothing new, neither is repeatedly ignoring court orders, trying to overthrow the 2020 election, or personally enriching himself to the tune of billions of dollars using the power of the government he runs.

    Tyrants don't come to power by mandating submission. They come to power by criminalizing dissent.

    Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    Im right here ... try me.

    The US sucks ass right now, we need to tax the billionaires back down to millionaires. We need to get money out of politics and punish the corrupt. If it cant be done through legal channels then do it with guillotines.

    Also ...something something what about the Epstein files?

    The same people who say "Nazis were socialists, it's in the name!" Will go on to say "Antifa is a terrorist racist group!"

    Sounds unconstitutional. He's promising to persecute people for their protected first amendment activities.

    Thanks to the supreme court it doesn't matter though, as nationwide injunctions are forbidden.

    I believe there have been plenty of right wing attacks that are not accounted for, because they were done by the federal government.

    Criminalizing the opposition is literally the first page in the fascism handbook.

    Secular does not mean what most of these assholes think it means, by the way. Way too many act like it's a synonym for "atheist".

    Just because a person or an org has not chosen to wear their chosen lifestyle on their sleeve does not make it the equivalent atheist.

    Most of life is "secular", FFS.

    What the conservatives do the English language is as infuriating as so many other things they do. Often it starts with their perversion of terms and phrases.

    They know what it means, they are leaving room for violent christian political groups. They have already declared violent Islamic organizations as evil so by saying "secular" they literally mean any group that does not declare themselves as christian.

    Oh no! Radical pro-transgenders want to trans their genders, please save me from the genders transing

    Question: Where are the victims of these secular political groups and radical transgenders? To compare them to 9-11 mass murderers seems kinda wonky to me. Drug cartels also don't seem as bad, somebody has to get me drugs.

    In truth? The "victims" they are protecting, are the proud boys, the 3 % ers, patriot front, etc. They are targeting the groups that have fought back against their aspiring paramilitaries they want to use to target opponents and critics.

    So start a religion that is aggressively pro-trans? Even better if you appear to be Christian?

    The Episcopal Church welcomes you.

    We're not perfect, but we're trying; we have openly Queer (including trans clergy) and have re-written our canon on marriage to include same-sex marriage. I'm a priest in this church. Never imagined that the Trans flag that is hanging on my wall in my office (given to me by a fellow demonstrator at a No Kings protest last year) would possibly land me in jail some day.

    But seriously, at this point it is the duty of any Christian, if they truly believe in Jesus, to stand with Trans folks and proclaim anti-fascism. Because this is where Jesus would be standing.
