      they are real life parodies of shows that parody fascism. extremely over the top emotinally and literally, cartoonishly evil,etc. and thats why conservatives hate media that does this, they know its true. they love run of the mill copaganda/militaryganda, and Christianity themed propaganda.

      Maybe they do - which is why W and Trump got re-elected.

    This isn’t how mainstream media works. Not just any reporter can get in the White House press briefing and ask questions. They’ve been filtered long before they got there. This isn’t new to the Trump regime.

    The fact that we are unsure whether the highest court in the land will defend the constitution from these fragrantly illegal policies, is insane.

    There is a guy at work that was trying to say that the west defeated fascism. That it was no longer a thing. A regime by any other name would smell just as rancid. Useful traitors for the regime.

      You should remind him that the west literally invented fascism, and that it never went away.
