Very true, but he has it figured out now.


I love Trump, voted for him twice and would again were that legal, but he was making bad decisions and hiring shitty swamp rats to the very end.

Not sure he ever “figured it out” or if it can even be figured out.

Yes. Those entrenched in government are using these private sector social media monopolies to infringe on our Constitutional rights without “technically” infringing on our Constitutional rights.

Just ask anyone who was cancelled or targeted by the blue check marks and lose their job, expelled from school, etc. It’s the exact same effect.

In a similar vein, I think our intelligence agencies get around spying laws by instructing foreign allies spy on Americans who then pass it on as if it were accidental discovery.

There’s no thinking to this. It’s a fact.

Most likely been this way since the Cold War started.
Ike warned us. And the MIC is big buisness.

(Ecomomic) FASCISM In terms of economics, fascism incorporates elements of both capitalism and socialism. Fascist economists advocate for self-sufficiency and individual profit, but promote government subsidies of corporations. Fascist economics thus supports a blend of both private and public ownership over the means of production—there is an emphasis on private profit, but at the same time, the national interest is ultimately more important.


Fascism is really "command economy", this means that the government "guides" private industry toward certain goals that benefit the nation. This can be done using "stick or carrot" policies as a steering force.

What we have here is not fascism, because the government is not guiding the economy, the private corporations are the ones in control, they own the government.
