Trump and the Republicans act as if they want the US to become a fascist country ruled by wealthy people and corporations.
Fascism (Merriam-Webster): A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Government regulation limits individual rights and freedoms.
Social Democracy: Incorporates both capitalist and socialist practices. The pursuit of profit is open to all, but it is regulated to improve people’s lives, guarantee personal freedom, and protect the environment.
A pleasure. Good visual!

Animalista, perhaps constitutional amendments will eventually cure the problems.

Sadly it didn’t take a coup to put this monster in power. It was all done by democratic process:(

Yep. The traditional Democrats are complicit. Inclusive fascism indeed!

Sure, but take it further as it should be: the Democrats in recent power (the Clinton and Obama regimes) have been fully drenched in oil, centralized authority, war, corporate plunder, pro racial wealth gap policies, prisons, and fat-cat Wall Street soirees. Call it a more friendly, inclusive fascism (a la the 70s book by Bertram Gross) if you like.
