    According to Meriam-Webster, fascism is 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.

    Careful. You'll trigger our resident swedish meatball.

    If he has a shred of self-awareness (yes, I know that's a stretch), he'll realize that his side are the facists and that he can no longer go around and call everyone else "fascist".

    His VP is also horrible - when she's talking, she sounds like she is speaking
    a 3rd grade level. If I can see Biden's weakness so can World Leaders.

    I used to think she was speaking down to us, but now I believe that is
    about the level she is capable of.

    I believe that "often race" bit is not correct, or is misleading. That seemed to be mostly a part of German Nazi fascism but was not present, at least not until Germany interfered, in other fascist regimes.

    For example, in Italy (again until Germany interfered) there were Jews in
    their fascist party. That'd never have happened with the Nazis.

    That's hilarious, and that should be her official tagline.

    Kamala Harris: She's not talking down to us, that's just the level that she's capable of. :)

    That could be. I imagine that not all leaders of countries have such a benefit.
