“Fascist” has become the laziest word in American politics.
It gets thrown around the way schoolchildren throw rocks, loud, emotional, and rarely aimed at anything real. - Senator Chris McDaniel
- If fascism means anything at all, it means centralized power, coerced compliance, and the use of government force to compel obedience...
It means control.
So let’s talk about control...
So let’s talk about control...
Calling the present moment fascism doesn’t require courage.
It requires historical amnesia...

From Magna Carta to Mass Arrests: Britain’s Warning to America
Imagine facing arrest simply for posting sharp or critical comments online. - Douglas Carswell 
- Picture the police at your door for expressing opposition to mass immigration.
- Envision a country where you could be imprisoned for years without a jury ever deciding your guilt.
This isn't dystopian fiction – it's the reality unfolding in Britain today, my former home and once part of the free world.
- Earlier this year, parents Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine from Hertfordshire were arrested in front of their children over disparaging remarks made in a private parents' messaging group.
They were among the estimated 10,000 people arrested in Britain this year for online posts – more than in communist China.
Of course, not all those arrested are sent to prison.
- But plenty are. Lucy Connolly received a 31-month jail sentence after posting online, including a call for "mass deportation now."
